Only 6000 tickets sold for Pascal-Dawson

Dawson's got no fanbase.

 

In Toronto,Bell TV is the only carrier for this fight.There is a catch though-It's all in French.There is no English feed in Canada for this card.Price is $40 and includes a God awful undercard.I don't know what the **** the promoters are thinking of,but they are clearly bush league.

 

Oops-made a mistake for the price.It's $60,worse than I imagined.:dead

 

Do you know if in Toronto, "HBO Canada" ever carries any of the regular HBO fights ?

i know i got my tickets! people in montreal are stupid.. they dont like pascal because of his big mouth.. this fight is gonna be sick.. a lot closer than people think!

 

Seriously that's not bad. Most American champs would kill for those numbers. Think Berto, Bradley, Ward, Dirrell, or Dawson could do 6000 at 100+ a pop?

 

They def needed Lemieux on the undercard!

HBO could have showcased the exciting middleweight knockout artist + SELL it out!

 

A better undercard would have helped but it's not like the building would have sold out. A journalist actually asked GYM about the undercard and the thing is that the card is actually a co=promotion of GYM and Shaw. And they decided not to put that much money in the undercard. Why? The problem is HBO's money. They pay so much money for this fight that actually for GYM and Shaw to make money they don't need a packed place. At 6000 tickets sold, the cheaper being 85$, I'm pretty sure they will make money. So why woukd they invest more in the undercard when it would probably only cut their profit margin?

 

Yes,ALL HBO fights are carried by "HBO Canada",EXCEPT when Quebec fighters are on the card.The Quebec promoters "black out" Canada and place them on PPV only and in French only.They still can't figure out why these fighters,which include Bute,can't draw flies outside the Province of Quebec.:-(

 

I got my tickets a long ass time ago

probably overpaid them

then again, I'm gonna be pretty close to the ring

6K is a decent crowd and alot of people will buy their tickets by saturday. At least 8K will show up.

 

Yeah it's possible to pay 85$ for a ticket if you go pick them up in person instead of buying online you'll save 20-25$ of fees.

 

6 K? Sounds pretty good to me.

 

You don't know boxing if you don't watch Dawson - whoupicking.

Boring as hell, powder puff puncher. 6000 might be stretching it a bit.
