Within three days since Ryoma's interview circulated, every Ringside Premium seat has been sold out. And the speed of the sales becomes a story in itself.
Japanese sports outlets begin shifting their tone. What was once described as a risky gamble starts being discussed as a potential turning point.
Why are so many influential figures securing front row seats?

Back in the modest gym office, Nakahara and Kurogane stare at the updated figures on the tablet as if the numbers might rearrange themselves under closer scrutiny.
"Sold out…" Kurogane says quietly, as though saying it too loudly might undo it. "All Ringside Premium, sold out. Every payment cleared. No cancellations."
Another notification appears. Kurogane taps it open, scanning quickly. "Gold tier inquiry. Corporate."
Nakahara exhales slowly, somewhere between disbelief and realization. "This isn't random."
