Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Canelo-Khan Easily Beats Pac-Bradley 3 PPV Numbers

[BM dnobagaV]

No way

The biggest fight in boxing besides manny/floyd was canelo/cotto... Canelo/Cotto only did 800k... Canelo vs khan will do 400k tops.,, more likely 250-350k

It did like 900 I believe.
I see this doing 675k or so because of all the hype Khanelo gets for using "will the winner fight May, PAC, or GGG?"

Well you're an optimist I guess,,, I hope you are right, but all indications show this will do sub 500k

Boxing is dead in America, people just don't realize it yet because the corpse is still warm

That's not very difficult now, is it?

I mean... If Floyd/PAC keep fighting another 5 years cleaning out 140-160 it'll still sell, with the occasional "will Lineal 154/160 champ Floyd rematch lineal champ 140/147 Pacquiao" gets mainstream buzz..

Yeah, the sport just isn't appealing mainstream anymore.. I wish Don King still had power. He'd be able to generate interest big time

So what? The bum has no fans, yet he wants a big money fight? Ca$hnelo offered a fight already... 155 is waiting! Canelo calls the shots, yet the bum don't want none. He is terrified. Nobody brought up Margarito but you. Trying to spin the topic, huh? Not working with me, bum. 97K = NO FANS. It's sad that he's trying to get the Mexicans on his side... sorry, not happening. Now go cry me a river, bum.

It's fans like you that are okay with this diva **** that encourage this kind of behavior from boxers like Canelo, Cotto, Mayweather.

Also, you seem to forget that Canelo/Oscar keep avoiding GGG and bring up other names for possible fights for Canelo. Names like Cotto (for a trilogy no less), Mayweather (rematch) and a host of other SMALLER fighters.

Scared ****less? Yet, 97k is not signing. The offer and money is there. He don't want none. He's quick to call out a small Pacquiao and small Floyd, but when someone his own size calls him out -- Canelo, Lara, Ward, he runs away like a fahking coward. The one who is drinking the kool-aid is you. He -Mr. 97k- is not fooling me or millions of real boxing aficionados.

Canelo HASN'T called out Golovkin, it's GGG that's been calling out Canelo. Lara gets put to sleep by GGG easy. Ward was a SMW fighter, has never been GGG's mandatory fighter, different division, and are separated 2 divisions now. GGG IS Canelo's mandatory, but guess who is coming up with excuses to not fight. Canelo.

Candelita: Outweighs Lil G by 15 pounds on fight night

Lara: A 154 pound fighter who is too scared to show up to a Lil G post fight presser but not to a CAndelita fight presser.

Ward: Fights at 175 and likely weighs almost 190 on fight night.



Doesn't really sound like any of those guys are Lil G's size.

I don't know where you are getting your numbers, but Canelo and Golovkin weigh pretty much the same on fight night, with Canelo weighing in a few pounds heavier. Golovkin came in the ring at 172 lbs two weekends ago. Canelo comes in the ring around 174-175, not 15 lbs heavier, unless you're saying Canelo comes in the ring at 187, which is laughable because that would mean Canelo is shedding 32 lbs to make 155.

I think it did quite OK... U.S. plus U.K. numbers... I don't know if they sell PPVs in Mexico...

I'll pick the one in the ..but it was obviously not as good as expected for GoldenBoy

[ShoulderRoll]

They did beat the Pacquiao-Bradley 3 numbers in all likelihood.
