I spose your news agent also tells you how many papers hes sold every time hes selling you one too

Or when you pick up your chnese takeaway mr Wong tells you how many portions of special fried rice they have done that nght

Its just totally irrelevant information to you. As is Hearn telling people how many tickets hes sold. You want to know about the fighters not the logistics of putting a show together at a press conference to get people interested in watching
The fight is sold out so Hearn is now selling the PPV. Letting the British public know it sold out in 90 seconds helps persuade people that it's an event worth forking twenty quid out to watch on their tellies. So Hearn is doing both the obvious and the right thing in this instance.
