how many tix have been sold for the AJ vs andy ruiz fight @ MSG on 6/1/2019 so

[oogiebe]

I must admit I was surprised Joshua trained in Miami. If had trained in New York he could have made himself known to the locals a bit more in recent weeks.

The loss of Miller hasn't helped, by now there would have been viral videos on social media of hands being thrown and the likes.

They have also lost the UK vs USA vibe by playing up Ruiz's Mexican heritage.

The real test of this flight's success will be how many people subscribe to DAZN this week to see it.

Great point on location of training camp in the US. That is baffling now that you mention it. I'd guess lack of proper facilities?

hes never fought in the us before, its hardly like hes already been doing much to build his brand there, a traveling crowd still add to the atmosphere, big event feel, and sustainability of fighting abroad

Depending on a travelling crowd isn't sustainable. You think 10k brits would travel to Las Vegas to see AJ fight?

Sure

Sure

Like the Grateful Dead. The same 15,000 people coming to every dead show.

I don't expect any fight other than wilder to be in Vegas.

Why is that? Logistics?

yep, brits love to travel and aj has the uk fans all the way

if aj can really sell around 10k to non brits in his very first appearnce in the us i think thats very solid. how many would do that? though of course thats just a hypothetical, it could do worse then that

Who else would he fight in Vegas?

How many of the tickets were bought by resale outlets for this one? Stubhub, ticket master and the likes?

Will be interesting to see how many are in attendance. I'm skeptical about the 10,000 travelling Brits

I'm sure there are plenty of top notch facilities in and around New York, maybe they were scared of bumping into Miller's pharmacist.

I’ll be honest so was I....but they filled 2 charter planes to New York just for the fight.

That’s why the weigh in is later to allow them to arrive and get to weigh in.

British Fans will always travel - it’s not most expensive flight wise either.

That's impressive. Cheers
