    I follow ticket prices fairly closely, and my sense is this fight is struggling. Mind you, because it was postponed and not cancelled you've essentially had two different windows to buy them, yet there are lots of face value tickets available in the lower bowl from the official ticket provider (i.e., not resale).

    There aren't as many upper levels available at face, but those prices have steadily dropped all week at S-Hub. Now down to $225 for the worst seats.

    The problem in the lower bowl is that the tickets are wildly overpriced for a fight with soft demand. Most people aren't casually going to drop $2k for a fight, and that's what it takes to get a good seat. You can be upper lower bowl or endzone seats for $1500, but that's still too high. And the resellers have held out on these premium tickets; they're still running about $1k above face even though face value tickets are available.

    Next week could be interesting on the resale market. People holding a $2k face value ticket aren't going to want to eat it. I bet by Tue they start to drop and by Thu will be a prime buyer's market. Anyway, I know some of y'all are interested in this stuff...

    The last fight was so one- sided i'm not surprised it's failing to sell, It has about as much attraction as Tyson vs Spinks 2.

    I don't know, Undercard is the very solid. People who love HW boxing, should buy this fight.

    $225 FOR THE cheapest seats?

    What a joke America really is when it comes to prices. $50-100 dollars for one fight on TV.

    You could get a ticket for AJ/Usyk at £40-60, and in a much better ****ing stadium.

    Yeah, pretty much, It it true that prices in the UK for airport parking are around 90 pounds ?
