Reports that Wilder's been giving out tickets free to folks in Tucaloosa, Alabama. No surprise as they've only sold 7k tickets and just less than 2 weeks left. Eddie Hearn will have a field day
Smart move by Wilder with so few tickets sold and us not knowing how many Brits have bought tickets the last thing he wants to do is show up to a stadium in the US filled with a majority of Brits chanting Tyson's name.
Eddie Hearn’s show last night was like a quarter full in a venue that looked like some sort of redneck school gym hall. Completely pathetic. About 20% of the audience were part of Miller’s entourage.
Was a **** poor turnout, though this fight was only made official about 3 weeks before the event, it was never going to sell out on such short notice and with so little promotion.
Eddie Hearn show was only watched on DAZN by about 2000 people last night so on balance 350 people watching Jarrell Miller live wasn’t too bad
If I was in LA, I'd definitely be hitting up my hotel concierge for free tickets, if they don't have them they probably know someone that can get them if it's true there are free tickets being given away.
Complimentary tickets for fights that don't sell well is pretty normal. They gave away thousands for Wilder/Ortiz, they gave away a couple of thousand for Holyfield/Foreman too. So it could be true.
