Turki Alalshikh is giving away a car as ticket sales for the Crawford vs Madrimov clash continue to take center stage.
Seats remain in 49 sections of the BMO Stadium despite a Golden Boy code voucher and a 55-dollar drop in the lowest-price tickets. Those nosebleeders can now be purchased for $144, a massive drop from over $200 previously.
Ringside has sold out despite prices in the thousands. However, floor seats have dropped considerably to under $500.
Alalshikh hopes the lure of a brand-new car will start a final push for the sellout. Since fight week began, organizers have been scrambling to sell tickets, and social media ads have been popping up everywhere.

Meanwhile, Terence Crawford praised Alalshikh’s vision ahead of his first challenge for the super welterweight title against Israil Madrimov.
“I’m very excited to be headlining His Excellency Turki Alalshikh’s first card in the USA,” said Crawford. I’m very excited about the first big event coming to America.
“Being the headliner of the event is a big honor. It’s going to be a tremendous event. There’s a stacked undercard, and I’m happy to be a part of it.”
He added, “In today’s age, it’s one of the best undercards put together since back in the day. Pretty much six fights on the undercard could be the main events.
“Having all of them on one card is a blessing. I’ve been talking to His Excellency for years now. This is the right time for us to partner up and do a big event.
“I’m quite positive that this will be a huge event.”
Crawford is backed up on the night by Jared Anderson, Andy Ruiz Jr., and Isaac Cruz as Riyadh Season comes to the US ahead of a debut in the United Kingdom this September.
