Excitement Builds for Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford
The highly anticipated match between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford is reportedly on the verge of a complete sell-out mere hours after ticket sales began. Promoters are proudly announcing that roughly 85% of the tickets for the event scheduled on September 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas have been sold, igniting excitement as well as skepticism among boxing aficionados.
Ticket Sales and Premium Packages
Most of the tickets are reportedly being distributed through premium packages organized by On Location, a company specializing in luxury sports experiences. Prominent organizer Turki Alalshikh took to social media to urge prospective fans to act quickly, stating:
“We are fast approaching a sell-out… with about 85% of tickets sold on the very first day. If you miss out now, please don’t come asking me for tickets.”
Skepticism Surrounding Sales Figures
However, not everyone is buying into the hype surrounding these ticket sales. Boxing Tickets, a reputable platform that tracks the demand for major boxing events, expressed doubts regarding the 85% claim. They shared on the social media platform X:
“I am highly suspicious of the claim that they have actually sold 85% of the tickets for Canelo vs Crawford.”
This skepticism is rooted in the recent history of boxing events where early claims of sell-outs often proved misleading; days or even weeks later, numerous tickets continued to appear for resale, indicating an oversupply relative to actual demand.
Anticipation for the Fight
The fight has garnered significant interest since it was announced, as fans are keen to discover whether Canelo’s physical advantages will prove insurmountable or if Crawford can create a momentous upset in what is being billed as a clash of champions with undisputed titles on the line. While the authenticity of the 85% sales figure remains uncertain, the enthusiasm surrounding the Alvarez vs Crawford showdown is palpable in the boxing community.
