This one looks staged
This is more stage managed than a royal wedding.

Absolutely no way this was accidental; the camera is the giveaway, I mean, why would someone be filming his Eggcellency and Nigel Benn in a lift?

I bought some for other people and some to sell. I will sell them straight back to Ticketmaster, the market is weak. It won't even sell out.
hearn was creating fomo. i hope resellers are left holding their bag haha
They do for every big fight , by the day you'll still be able to get in.

When the egg thing happened I thought no way they staged that, but after looking back on it, I tend to think it was staged maybe Connor wasn't in on it

Almost bought 3 tickets today £150 each ticket.

My engine management light has come on with a code error of a catalytic error, might cost sever4hubdred to fix. So chickened out of the tickets.

I think a good percentage is staged, they need to sell the show and all this crap helps the ticket sales. You will get lots who buy on kneejerk reactions after watching this rubbish.

Proper panto. If Eubank can't beat the little squirt he needs hounding.

I agree., Eubank has talent and half decent but Benn is unproven and desperate to pay off his debts in my opinion. Same with Hearn,he needs to cash in and get his investment back.

Eddie Hearn claims that 60,000 tickets have been sold

I mean..
It’s nearly sold out and probably will..

But whether there will be 63k fans in there.. that’s a different question.

There were cheaper ones, £60 I think.
But they would just be for the atmosphere more than being actually able to follow what's going on in the ring.
I am constantly disappointed in how easily mug are separated from their money- and this is a blatant cash grab, make no mistake about it.

Maybe they enjoy a big night out, great atmosphere, brilliant stadium, a few drinks round London first? It's not for someone else to decide if they are mugs or not.

Yeah I wouldn't travel for this one, but if I lived near London I might get a 60 quid ticket just for the experience. Stadium events are crap anyway if you actually want to watch the fights properly, unless you pay hundreds to get close.

Just cus they in the queue didn’t mean they were all gonna buy tickets.

Some might not be able to afford them

Honestly. Just Cus you join a queue doesn’t mean shit.

It’s a few clicks.

In this case it probably was a lie.

They’re hyping a fight. It’s their job.

Anyone know an honest promotion?

I’ll wait..

Over 100,000 Tottenham members were curious? It costs to be a member so it's not just a few clicks.

It certainly looks like ticket sales are going well

Hard to find 3 seats together at 150 a ticket. I found 3 together but they were 500 each. Certainly a few of the cheaper seats at 59 quid left.

Just shows how important Eubank's egg slap was. Without that, they'd have been really struggling. It will sell out but it's a crappy card really.

I feel sorry for your finances and your car but I hope you don't go to this 'fight'.

The Benn drugs issue isn't resolved in my eyes and should be banned for life. I understand that the Board are contemplating giving him a UK licence. Strewth. Is everyone forgetting this?

I’m not buying out of principle but will make huge numbers regardless
