Comments Thread For: Canelo-Jacobs Generates Nearly $8.7 Million, 15,730 Ticket Sold

That's because GGG was the one fans actually cared about. He was the one chasing greatness the whole time. He was the one who was a potential ATG middleweight in his prime. He was the one chasing Sergio, Canelo, Cotto, Froch, etc, the whole time, being ducked. He was the one fighting 3-4x a year getting knockouts every single time including vs multiple top 5 middleweights. He was the one with the charisma who people were invested in.

But as usual, the "Boxing Establishment" prioritized nationality above everything else and seemed to say to itself, "Well Canelo is the Mexican one, so he must be the one fans like, he's the one we have to protect." In reality, most fans watching only cared about GGG. Only the LDBC and some Mexicans were rooting primarily based on nationality, but most people living in the USA with TV sets are not Mexican or LDBC members.

Are you ****** both these guys fought the same man Jacobs look at the revenue Canelo did and now look what GGG did with the same guy? 170 PPV sold and 3.7M in live gate.



The telecast - which aired live from Madison Square Garden in New York City - sold 170,000 units, a figured first reported by Yahoo! Sports senior writer Kevin Iole and since confirmed to FightNights.com by Tom Loeffler, managing director of K2 Promotions.

The combined revenue between PPV sales and box office receipts pushes gross sales at or near $15 million

While the attendance was slightly smaller (19,901), the more expensive ticket prices helped produce a $3.7 million live gate, nearly doubling the $2 million gate the Golovkin-Lemieux event produced.

Canelo vs Jacobs just drew over 48M in New Subscribers and almost 9M in live gate box office receipts. That's 57M combined compared to 15M. And your take away is GGG is the one fans care about? GGG next fight hasn't sold dyck for ticket sales and is only a couple weeks away they basically giving them away for free at $35 lol I promise you they will hide the live gate figures for the Rolls fight which will NOT sell out unlike Canelo who just sold out at MSG against Fields with much higher ticket prices. GGG is nowhere near Canelo's level

African-Americans, Africans & most blacks rooted for Nelo meanwhile only White people are Golovtards😂 Alvarez lowest ppvs are 300k while Golovturd failed vs Lemieux with a 150k buys

Canelo is obvious that is the boxer who sell more in the era post Mayweather...but his numbers in comparison of May, Pac and others in recents years are very low...the boxing bussiness is down, DAZN is going to loose much money with Canelo....so, that are the facts....

other then his fight with Floyd, Pac has only exceeded this number canelo just did with Jacobs THREE times his entire career. These are not low by Pacquiao standards these are basically what Pac did even slightly lower in his prime minus the monster fight with Oscar (where Oscar was the A side draw not Pacquiao, and his 2 mega fights with Marquez). These are avg numbers for Canelo but Canelo/Jacobs still around the top 30 highest revenue fight in Vegas history. Other then Floyd nobody does these numbers, Pacquaio mostly never did more then these numbers even in his prime.

The 27M is from the first Canelo/GGG fight. Damn you dumb Canelo vs GGG a P4P ranked boogyman who Canelo was the underdog against and that was his first fight moving up to 160 to challenge the number 1 p4p guy. You can't see why that fight which had much higher ticket sales to reflect the higher demand of that super fight did more then Canelo vs Jacobs? Jacobs is a good fighter with ZERO fanbase and was a decent underdog to canelo instead of the betting favorite like GGG was. And that fight had 17,000 paid attendance but MUCH larger ticket prices. The rematch had 23M revenue off 16,000 paid attendance. The key is the difference in ticket prices. They could of sold every last ticket (which is impossible in vegas) and still not reached those revenues because these ticket prices were lower.

I stand corrected about the $27 mil in revenue at the live gate for the Canelo-GGG rematch. It was closer to $23 mil in revenue. Yet still it's a large decline from his previous revenues at the gate. That's still almost a net loss of $15 mil in revenue at the live gate as compared to his previous fight at the same T-Mobile venue last year in the Golovkin rematch.

Bogeyman or no bogeyman the fact of the matter is DAZN has invested a fortune in Canelo and he has to deliver; No excuses, if's, ands or buts about it. He has to give DAZN a return on their $365 mil investment. This fight generated only $57 mil in revenue as compared to the GGG rematch which generated more than $94 mil in revenue; Which is a drop off of nearly $50 mil and DAZN only made a profit of $7mil for this fight because the main event cost them $50 mil to produce.

Floyd fought Manny and broke the alltime record generated 72M then turned around and fought his next fight generating just 10M. No shyt Floyd/Manny had much higher ticket prices because it was a super fight after that Floyd went back to his normal ticket pricing. Canelo/GGG had enormous ticket pricing because it was a super fight. Canelo/Jacobs had a huge drop in ticket prices back to what he was pricing for his fights for the Canelo/Chavez fight. GGG fought Canelo and drew 20+ Million in live gate. His next fight with Rolls will probably draw 1M in live gate tickets with cheaper ticket prices then when he fought Lemiuex and that fight did 2M live gate. You can't charge super fight ticket prices when you are NOT in a super fight. Not even Floyd did 23M on the regular. He only cracked that amount TWICE his entire career matter fact. Canelo has cracked 20M in live gate revenue 3 times but that has only been done period 5 times in the entire history of the sport of boxing. By the way Canelo or Floyd is in each of those 5 fights.

Unless you mentioning Floyd NOBODY is doing these numbers. Canelo/Jacobs wasn't even a super fight by Canelo standards and is still a top 30 revenue generator in the history of Vegas. And this is where Tyson, Oscar, Floyd, Pacquaio, etc had all their biggest fights.

So Canelo only sold 15,000+ tickets? And only 600,000 buys for dazn in the USA? And I’m supposed to believe that he is somehow the biggest draw in the sport? Im inclined to agree with the folks back home in England, Joshua is a much bigger cash cow in England than Canelo is in the USA. And at they sure that gate sold tipped the 47,000+ for the Spence jr-Garcia fight?
This is in no way good news for dazn, if this is all they can muster putting Canelo in with what was supposed to be the toughest opponent not named golovkin. Dazn is losing money on Canelo, big time.

The tickets for Spence and Garcia were a lot cheaper

[bigdunny1]

These are the highest non Canelo live gates in Boxing in the last year. Pacquaio/Broner 6M, Wilder/Fury 3.5M. Canelo just fought the same exact guy who GGG (one of the next biggest stars in boxing) generated 3.7M in revenue when he fought him. Canelo fights that same dude and still does almost 9M one of the top 30 biggest revenues in Vegas history. Every other fighter in boxing would cut off their right arm to be able to do these numbers and these are just avg by Canelo standards.

[Eff Pandas]

If Munguia can somehow remain undefeated (lol) that’ll be canelos next big fight

If they don't rush Munguia into that soon I'm not sure it'll be a big fight when it happens cuz Munguia will have a L or two. And not sure its a big fight now honestly.

Or he's gonna need to look like a whole new guy once he moves up to 160.

[Cigar]

Feel sorry for anyone who paid a lot of money to go to Vegas and yawn their way through that snooze fest.

African-Americans, Africans & most blacks rooted for Nelo meanwhile only White people are Golovtards😂 Alvarez lowest ppvs are 300k while Golovturd failed vs Lemieux with a 150k buys

According to you. Most black boxing fans would be wise to not be rooting for a white privileged cheater who has robbed numerous black fighters
