Here's what people don't understand because they've become so used to these outrageous numbers that generally are not the norm for any other fighter.
500K is a successful PPV.
To be able to sell a Million, is outstanding. Going over a million is generally unheard of except for the few superstars who have been apart of boxing like Oscar, Tyson, Pacquiao, Floyd, and even Holyfield.
That's 5 fighters over the last 25 years out of how many fighters total?
When Floyd sold over a million fighting Victor Ortiz, that was impressive to me.
When Pacquiao sold 700k fighting............. JOSHUA CLOTTEY... that was ridiculously impressive to me.

No, Mayweather does not need a stacked undercard. He just needs a credible opponent. I honestly don't feel that Canelo is credible opponent but Canelo does have some star power. That alone will make this a successful PPV.
GBP is only stacking the undercard to showcase guys like Garcia and Mathysse as possible Future opponents for FMJ. This way they don't have another flop like Guerrero because he was relatively unknown.
