A pre-sale of over 6,000 tickets established a new record at the “Mecca of Boxing,” shattering all previous marks for boxing events.

“The interest from fans in this middleweight title unification has been overwhelming,” said Tom Loeffler, Managing Director of K2 Promotions. “Madison Square Garden has never had a faster pre-sale for a boxing event. “

“We’re ecstatic at the response from the pre-sale. We look forward to robust ticket sales continuing throughout the promotion.

“With this high level of interest, we strongly encourage boxing fans to purchase their tickets well in advance.”

“This record-breaking pre-sale only confirms that this fight will be one of the most exciting of the year as the best meets the best for middleweight supremacy,” said Oscar De La Hoya, Chairman, and CEO of Golden Boy Promotions.

“Fans are thirsty for action. They know that is what David Lemieux and Gennady Golovkin will deliver on October 17 at Madison Square Garden.”

“It’s not a surprise, and we are thrilled that tickets are going fast for Golovkin vs. Lemieux at The Garden on October 17th,” said Joel Fisher, executive vice president, MSG Sports.

“Gennady has made a name for himself in New York – he has fought at The Garden four times and knocked out all four opponents.

“Between Golovkin and Lemieux, they have a staggering 61 KO’s in 69 fights. We’re urging fans not to blink once the bell rings.”
