ggg vs canelo breaks 2 million ppv buys.

[TonyGe]

Lol, in what world does Alvarez give up 45% of his pot to a guy who's maybe sold 150k PPV buys?

The delusion here is ridiculous.

In the real world where two guys can make a lot of money together.

Pause for a moment. Maybe it's because I was flying back into the country on Saturday and slept in Sunday, but, judging controversy aside, I don't think that the aftermath interest even approached what came after Cotto-Canelo.

There was a lot of interest but it was mainly for the controversial decision.

I give it to Oscar on this one. This was a strategic decision draw so Golovkin's fans will be all up in arms and demand a rematch. All he had to do was look at Kovalev/Ward for the "blue print". If Canelo is able to pull of a victory like Ward did the second time around, maybe Canelo will also ride off into the sunset when this one is over.

Oh, stfu you sissy. Ca$hnelo's low end PPVs are 300K (Lara), 300K (Smith), 350K (Angulo) and 500+K (Khan).

The fight did well because of Ca$hnelo's popularity and because it was a good matchup. Zero to do with Borat. Whether it was Borat or anybody else, Ca$hnelo + a perceived good opponent = excellent numbers. Ca$hnelo + a nobody = good numbers. Borat + nobody = s**t. Borat + a perceived good opponent = piss.

Keep sucking off Borat you *****.

You are literally an idiot. You spout numbers off on Canelo's PPVs which are good but dramatically lower than what this fight is supposedly going to do. You don't get to that huge number if the other guy doesn't bring something good to the table. This is true for every PPV fight.

I realize this is too much to comprehend for a guy like you who is making minimum wage. People who have an IQ lower than a 10 count should just keep quiet, so keep quiet.

And you can come out of the closet. You obviously have some ****** fantasy about Borat. Hey whatever floats your boat 187 Douche. Just leave me out of your alternative life style.

Canelo can be a PPV star but he still needs a dance partner that's equally as big to break the big number. Canelo/GGG was a big fight demanded by the public because they wanted Canelo and GGG. Now, Canelo/Liam still brought in buys but not the big numbers because Liam is not a name. No matter how big Canelo gets he still needs a solid dance partner to rack up the big PPV numbers.

Absolutely right and total common sense. But some of the guys on here are literally walking morons and can't figure that out.

By the way Floyd did too. He put up excellent numbers but he needed opponents who brought something to the table to make the biggest numbers. This isn't rocket science.

If true hope hbo decides to start investing in boxing again

[Scipio2009]

In the real world where two guys can make a lot of money together.

Golovkin doesn't have a single other PPV fight to his name without Alvarez. Alvarez has already shown that he can draw near 1m ppv homes with the right opponent and him as the A-side (nevermind the boatload of money that he gets on his Mexican TV deal).

Golovkin literally has near zero leverage to even demand 30% of the pot, lol.

[al-Xander]

Very impressive.

Who says the May/McG hurt the fight?

Seems it even helped it. Fans got starved for real fights.

[Luilun]

if this gets confirmed ca$hnelo proves this is indeed his era. still very young. but he needs to maybe go the floyd route and be his own boss becuz GBP just paid him $5mill for this fight. hes worth way more.

Thats what Oscar paid him I believe he fights under Canelo promotions which gets a % of the PPV buys

[Reloaded]

Canelo vs Smith = 300k max
Canelo vs Golovkin = 2 millions? (I don't think it's true but they sold at least one million)

Then it means Golovkin is a good draw as well.

It means the match up is what people wanted to see, its not one or the other its the pair going into each other.

[hhh1200]

who released this? hbo hasn't anything. I just heard some nonsense from dan. if it did 2 mil, they would have put those numbers out asap. it may have done no better than canelo / cotto
