Your support makes all the difference.Eddie Hearn has revealed the number of tickets KSI vs Logan Paul‘s rematch has sold to date.
The fight between the YouTube pair was finalised little over a week ago and is set to take place at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles, California on 9 November.
It will be the first professional outing of the careers of both men, with KSI having fought twice at amateur level and Paul just the once – in their first meeting which was a majority draw in August 2018.
Pre-sale tickets became available to the public on 10th September, and as expected, demand has been unprecedented.
With the amateur fight selling out the 18,000 capacity Manchester Arena, it was always expected to be on course to be even bigger and better this time around.
“Tomorrow [press conference] will be wild,” Hearn told IFL TV.
“We’ve sold, I don’t know, like 5,000 tickets on pre-sale. You struggle to do 500 over here [North America] in a pre-sale, so the buzz, the numbers that come in on the announcement, 5 to 6, 10 million views.
“It will be huge.”
Do you want to buy tickets and be a part of the huge event?
Here’s how you can do it.
Tickets will be on general sale from Saturday, 14th September with pre-sale, of course, already live. You can buy them right here. You better act fast.
If you can’t make it, then no worries. You can watch it on DAZN in the United States and from around the world and if you’re in the UK, you’ll have to stay tuned – no announcement has been made on broadcasting rights just yet.
