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

[champion4ever]

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.

Well said! You are spot on!

[champion4ever]

That sounds like a failure

Ok, you better tell them something!

The problem is who knows who mungia is?

Yea agree thats a problem. And idk how you make him a big name when he's unofficially losing in many peoples minds to unknown guys already. Put him in with a decent non-Canelo name guy & he might lose & then the Canelo fight makes less sense anytime soon.

The vast majority of Canelo fans are casual Mexican American fans who tune into boxing twice a year. Had hbo stayed in the game and mungia fought on a network or channel most people had he would have been noticed. The problem with dazn is you can’t build a star on an app, they already have to be a star.

Sh^t man in defense of DAZN or any platform is ANYONE building stars right now? I'm not sure.

I think Thurman could build up his star if he beats Manny, but will he be a star with a W? Idk & I lean towards no since Manny has lost massive luster in recent years.

I think whoever comes outta this 147 thing could be a star, but that seems a long ways off still with Bud on the other side of the street.

I mean who's the last star? GGG & he did it via HBO & HBO is gone. And he didn't even get THAT big so I'm sure some would argue with me he's even a star.

Can ESPN+ make a star? Only if Bud beats Spence or Thurman. Loma has virtually no chance of being a star.

Can PBC make a star? Only when this 147 thing gets sorted out.

Can DAZN make a star? They got the stars now as you mention, but idk that a streaming platform that isn't widely used yet can create stars anytime soon with this new means of viewing boxing.

Lol stop. Push for a Canelo GGG trilogy or an Andrade fight. But fighting a 40 year old who's naturally a 140 pounder on his decline? Come on man.

I think you have a pretty loose definition of the word “naturally?

Yes....he is white....are you blind??? The boy is pale white with red hair? Being from Mexico doesn’t exclude one from being white. There is a considerable population of African descendants in the Yucatán area as well, and yes....they are black. Anyone who has spent a significant amount of time in Distrito Federal and Guadalajara can see the ruling wealthy class in Mexico is almost of purely Spanish and other european blood.

He is Latino/Hispanic not Caucasian White! That is one of the reasons why ConservaCucks who are also GolovTards hate the man!! That man has no White Privilege & Red Skull is a lying POS!

[champion4ever]

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....

Thank You! Well said!

US figures:

400k Xs $75 PPV + 6mil gate = 36mil for Manny Broner

600k Xs $20 +1 month subscription (aint no one paid $100) + 9mil gate = 21mil for Canelo Jacobs *If there are no cancelations that's only 33mil for 2 months (most will cancel after GGG Rolls anyways)

Pac is still the biggest draw and the Thurman fight will prove it... I'm estimating 1mil at $75 at least. If Manny claims this will be his retirement fight, upwards of 2mil.

Excellent Point!

........did I read that right? You’re equating speaking a language with race? So all of us who speak English are the same race? Do you have any idea how ignorant and uneducated this sounds?

In the absence of a healthy hbo, the only venue that can create stars is one that reaches the most casual and sports fans that would be FOX, Showtime, and ESPN. And I, not the ESPN app that’s for us die hard sports fans who want to see boxing, mma, college hoops, and other sports.
