The fight between the two heavyweight boxers Lunuz and Redwin was publicly advertised in both the print and electronic media. The venue for the fight was organised in such a way that lots of spectators will be accommodated in the main bowl of the indoor sports complex chosen for the fight.
Tickets for the fight was billed to be sold out at least two days to the fight but it was to the surprise of the organisers that many tickets were still remaining even a day to the much hyped fight. Massive advert was run especially in the electronic media to at least get the desired audience but all was to no avail.
Disappointed, the organisers contemplated shifting both the date and venue of the fight to see if things will change but this idea was jettisoned when they were told that there will be strict restrictions on movement and sitting arrangement on the ground that COVID-19 has not gone!
At the end of the day the organisers had to make do with the much persons in attendance with huge loses recorded as a result of low ticket sales for the fight.
