LOS ANGELES - Boxing fans and sports enthusiasts have spoken to the tune of approximately 50,000 tickets purchased for the unprecedented three consecutive weekends of mega-events in April and May, all of which are promoted by Golden Boy Promotions.

The three-week marathon of championship boxing excellence begins with the WBC and WBA Super Welterweight Unification bout between Canelo Alvarez and Austin Trout at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas on Saturday April 20 which is co-promoted with Canelo Promotions and Leija & Battah Promotions, followed by the Unified Super Lightweight World Championship between Danny Garcia and Zab Judah at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on Saturday, April 27 and the grand finale, "MAY DAY: Floyd Mayweather vs. Robert Guerrero" on Saturday, May 4 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada which is co-promoted by Mayweather Promotions. The April 20 and April 27 SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING events will be televised live on SHOWTIME

I barely read the article but 30k for Canelo-Trout is huge

The marketing BS...I mean 'lingo'...was heavy in the OP. Not that I doubt that those events will be popular, but trying to squeeze the name of three promotional groups into every third sentence is a bit awkward.

Also, the title is a bit deceiving. It's kind of like saying, "I benched 800 pounds!" and then reading that this was the combined weight in three separate lifts. Again, I think the three events will be very successful, but the "holy sh**" feeling when I read 50,000 tickets sold evaporated pretty quickly when I realized what they meant.
