No announcement yet.
Which PPV would you get on Cinco De Mayo 2015? May vs Khan or Canelo vs Cotto?

first off. im so confident because it's never happened before.
secondly everybody would lose out in this scenario except Floyd. he gets a 32 million dollar guarantee no matter how many ppv's he sells. so canelo vs cotto on the same night wouldn't change anything for Floyd.
but cotto and canelo will get 5 too 10 million dollars guaranteed. so they need their ppv too do as many buys as possible so that they can make more money on the back end. so it would be stupid too go against another ppv, when they can have a date too themselves. HBO knows this, arum knows this, Oscar knows this. hell anybody who follows boxing knows this.
Oscar and arum want the cinco de mayo date, but they will not go head too head with Floyd too get that date

Besides a Pac/Floyd fight what would be the bigger fight than a Canelo/Cotto. These two guys look like they are going into a collision course while the other is looking for an opponent to sell tickets.

Originally posted by icha View Postyou just nail it, that guarantee its what will end up forcing showtime not to compete vs HBO... showtime just cant keep loosing money... if arum and oscar wanted this fight on a different date then we will be getting it sooner, instead we have canelo and cotto looking for tuneups to stay in shape for 5 de mayo...

How does MGM make up for the lost revenue from ticket sales and hotels?

is a guaranteed sold out regardless of the prices... but again if oscar already booked that date i dont see the MGM making any decisions... and if they do they will have to consider floyd has 2 fight less, so forget the fighter they will have to choose between GBP or TMT and i suspect is GBP any day...

If you had to actually think about which fight you would like to see, or went straight to the Floyd VS Amir option then...
You don't know **** about boxing son!
