Can you see Mayweather - Alvarez breaking the Record number of PPV buys for a boxing fight which is currently held by Mayweather - De La Hoya (2,500,000)
I could see them breaking this record, Canelo has a massive Mexican following and Floyd is the most popular and recognizable fighter in the sport today.
Canelo's inability to speak fluent English could be costly in the promotion of the fight, it will probably leave Mayweather to promote the fight solely and maybe lower the buyrate figures for the fight in my opinion.
I didn't think so, but I do believe it might reach 2 million. People down here already believe Canelo's the one to beat Mayweather and are falling in love with the fight as we type.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit with all the promoting, touring, hype and the internet craze this fight will have if it breaks the record. but that number(2.5 million) is an astonishing record to break. Hard to believe it'll happen
There's no way on Earth this fight breaks the record. Canelo is basically the right guy at the right time. He's not some out of this world level talent, but he's among the best @ 154, and has a big enough name to fight Floyd.
Simple and plain. Let's not hype this fight up like it's Duran/Leonard.
