Joshua-Molina card has already sold 15,000 tickets

Post by Ruthless-RKO »

It’s either down to the sheer star-power of IBF heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua, or it’s down to the Dec 10 card in Manchester being a pretty stacked one, but 15,000 tickets have already been sold for the card that will be topped by Joshua’s second title defence against dangerously determined challenger Eric Molina.

There are stacks of tickets left, it's :lol:

Eddie Hearns interview on IFL was disgusting this week , Kugan asked if this is a good card/fight why is everyone moaning then Ed? and he basically said people moan for the sake of it, AJ will sell out in 5 mins and the people who are not happy with this fight are wrong, the demand says they are wrong :roll:

Well with the shit load of tickets that are on StubHub and the shit load that are still at the box office this could be a sign from boxing fans that AJ and team can't mug everyone off any more.

I think you need your head tapping to pay the money to go to this fight, it's so predictable. It will be good if you want to get pissed up, listen to some god awfull grime music and have a sing song but it's way over priced if it's world class boxing you are looking for.

If the touts can't shift there tickets at a profit then potentially the place could be half empty come fight night, I really hope so. There must be well over a thousand in touts hands looking to milk AJs humble army :lol:

The arrogance boils my piss

or maybe its down to the fact that most of the tickets have made their way to *insert legal ticket-tout's name here*?

This card isn't worth your time even if they give the tickets away at the door. The Main Event is garbage. I might even tune out before the Main Event to be honest. I want to see Whyte vs Chisora, and that's about all that interests me on this card.

A large portion of the people that go and watch Joshua fight are solely joshua fans. They're not boxing fans imo.

I have reservations about the main event, but Molina is a lot better than people are making out. The undercard looks excellent to me. Looking forward to it.

Molina is better than people are making out based on what? Going more rounds than people thought he would against Wilder? I think that's more of a comment on how Wilder isn't as good as people think than it is on Molina. Molina sucks, and WILL be stopped in 2 rounds tops.

I agree with this.. Molina, isn't the best out their, but he's ranked and he is THE BEST fighter on Joshua's resume.

Isn't every challenger is ranked by an ABC?

I'm not too confident that Molina would even beat someone like Breazeale. Keep in mind that the Adamek he was losing widely against had already been beaten 9-3 a few years earlier by lackluster Glazkov, and he won like 1 round between all his trips to the canvas against Wilder.

I'd be amazed if Hearn hasn't actually managed to get himself a stake in Stubhub UK side.
The level of publicity Matchroom give them is incredible.

It's sadly obvious these days that huge chunks of the ticket allocation are given to tout sites to be sold at higher than face value. More money grabbing from Hearn and everyone involved.

I don't think Hearn's to blame for tickets being resold at higher prices.

I think there is probably a relationship there, where they get an allocation of X amount of tickets to be sold on there at inflated prices. Also enables Eddie to toot the horn about how many tickets have already sold, therefore trying to panic people into buying the remaining tickets.

I think it's a toss up. No way Whyte beats Adamek, even at that late stage of his career.

All I know is that if Joshua hasn't finished the fight by the end of the 2nd round his stock drops. The only way Molina survives 2 rounds is if Joshua is just keeping his hands to himself and letting him survive just for the hell of it.

On Stubhub, people can sell their tickets, so you could buy a hundred and sell them on there. That ain't Hearn's fault mate.
