Barclays Center ticket prices and $80 PPV costs could undermine the box office success of Devin Haney vs. Ryan Garcia on April 20th on DAZN in Brooklyn, New York. The organizers misjudged the public by charging what they thought the market would bear.
Fans are screaming bloody murder about ticket prices at Brooklyn's Barclays Center, saying $80 is too high. Empty seats will not sell automatically, so you may be able to offer a large ticket giveaway.
Fans are furious: See these tweets
- “Eighty dollars to see this? No, thank you, I'll find the creek.”
- “Barclays Center is charging me ticket money for my left kidney.”
- “This isn’t Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, get a grip on reality!”
It appears that the promoters made a huge mistake in overcharging, and the negative reaction from fans made that clear.
Event organizers overestimated the boxing world's interest in a matchup between WBC light welterweight champion Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) and Ryan (24-1, 20 KOs) considering fan reaction. there is a possibility. It was overwhelmingly negative.
It's panic time!
There are only 16 days left. Things are looking pretty grim at the moment and promoters will need to do something to start selling tickets.
That could mean cutting down on processes significantly. If you are the captain of a sinking ship in this promotion, the Haney Garcia ship is sinking rapidly and you have to start pumping her up.
Papa Haney: Master of hypocrisy?
“We're giving fans an opportunity to participate. It's the old Bulls business model of charging fans for Bulls fights and you being the 'face of boxing.' Just keep shoving it down their throats,” Bill Haney said. mediaslammed Gervonta Davis for charging over $80 for a substandard PPV match.
“The Mayweather era is over. This is the Devin Haney era. That Mayweather noise is over. You hear me? It's over,” Bill said.
This is an example of Bill Haney being a hypocrite. He blamed Gervonta Davis for charging a high fee for a lackluster PPV event, and did the exact same thing for Devin vs. Ryan Garcia on April 20th on DAZN pay-per-view.
