ggg vs canelo breaks 2 million ppv buys.

Good to see meaningful fights get rewarded. It's good for the sport.

I slightly disagree.

Still no official numbers for Mayweather/McGreggor and we're almost a month removed. I wonder why.

The Canadian dollar is down 22 percent as of today. It depends on oil prices. It won't do huge numbers in Canada. Canada has 1/10 the population of the US and 1/5 the population of Mexico and Canadian's aren't huge boxing fans. The impact from Canada isn't great enough to offset the revenue loss from fighting Lemieux. No Canelo stands to make the most money from fighting Golovkin. Dodging Golovkin again is a risk he may not want to take if he doesn't want to erode his fan base. I'm not saying G will get 45% but he will do better financially in the rematch.

Lol. If Canada actually was as bad a market as you want to say, why in the **** did Kovalev head there twice for his first two multi-million dollar paydays? Population numbers don't mean **** when you're talking about PPV boxing.

On his own name, Alvarez is already a draw on PPV; him vs TBA is likely good for 600k-700k PPV buys without any real worry. And, as much as you are openly trying to minimize things, David Lemieux is a draw in Montreal.

You're drastically overstating the size of draw and business that Golovkin brings to the table, lol

Too bad the rematch won't even do 97K.

tHE CLOWN IS SAYING Lemeuix alvarez do huge numbers. Goddam this forum has gone to utter SHI-T.

No one is saying that Alvarez-Lemieux is going to do huge numbers; Alvarez is an established enough superstar to do monster business on TV in Mexico (pay cable and terrestrial) and draw well on PPV in the US (600k-700k homes isn't out of the question).

Add that Lemieux being on the bill gives the Canadian market a reason to throw in some money, and the reality that, once everything is counted and split, Alvarez walks away with 80%-85% of the pot.

Compare that to Alvarez's take on a Golovkin fight, where Golovkin doesn't bring the Canadian money, doesn't make the Mexico TV worth much more, isn't all that much of a draw in the US to begin with, and where Golovkin is said to be taking 40%-45% of the pot.

The math isn't hard

Espinoza already put forward the range that they were expecting for the fight, with the formal tally underway.

No such thing has been put forward for Alvarez-Golovkin, and we're already a week past the fight.

What??

They did ride the coattails of Mayweather v McGregor well any other year this fight does less than Canelo v Cotto

You got that backwards. The circus fight hurt GGG-Nelo by being 3 weeks earlier. Never heard or read anything about it helping.

Keep telling yourself that, kiddo.

This did not do 2 mill.....1.4mil will be the real numbers but they'll lie about it of course.
