Also keeps brokers from snatching some of those comp tickets up from their sources and then profiting instead of the fighters.
Same reason Ticketmaster goes through verification and limits purchase to two.
So, tough to accurately gauge this vs other big fighting events where large blocks of comp tickets are instantly alloted to various parties after ticket release.

I can't argue against White telling the truth or not without any research, but do we honestly think he's being fully truthful that they have to buy a ticket to their own event? Do they have to do it through Ticketmaster?
