And I assume with the prices of the tickets they had for sale this fight will break Oscar vs. Floyd's All Time Gate record. Canelo can't even speak english...wow.
And with that being said, I'm going 1.6 million on the PPV. The reason I'm going a little lower is because Showtime doesn't seem to do as well as HBO promoting their fights, and because of all the free streaming that is around today that really wasn't around when Floyd and Oscar and Tyson fought.
They need a solid co-headline fight to push it higher than that, imo, but I don't see who they can get at this point. Schaefer already said it won't be Garcia vs. Matthysse and Broner just fought so I don't see who they can get..
Thoughts?
if canelo comes out victorious he will bring in massive crowds, especially if he keeps fightin on the mexican holidays with good undercards helping him. hell 40k people showed up to see both him and austin trout, wich aint that bad for a 23 yr old ginger.
Canelo won't beat Floyd.
To entertain your premise though, if he beat Floyd he could sell out ANY stadium ANYWHERE. I am talking about Azteca stadium. He'd be an ultra mega star.
showtime problably forced mayweather to accept this fight after the lackluster and dissapointing fight last may !alverez star power is the reason this fight is sold out not floyd !! lets get that clear right now ! THAT IS THE DUMBEST **** I EVER HEARD FLOYD IS THE MAIN ATTRACTION BELIEVE THAT AND FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THEY HAD A PRETTY GOOD TURN OUT CONSIDERING FLOYD CARRING IT HIS SELF NAME ONE TIME CANELO HAVE OUT SOLD FLOYD ILL WAIT MUST BE A PAC BOY"peeleft:
Canelo will make this fight successful. We already know Mayweather miserably failed on his last fight. So, even Canelo is gonna be a weight-drained zombie on fight night I'm still hoping he will KTFO the rich coward.
This fight was going to be huge from the moment it was signed , all these fools in here raved on about Floyd is ducking Canelo and then its signed and they still trying to hate on him , its like a forum full of pre schoolers in here lol .
You cant act like Floyd had nothing to do with this. There was still 14,000 in the seats against Guerrero. And most were there for Floyd. Guerrero was boo'd when he was announced. Floyds still a huge draw.
most was there to see canelo while he sat in the audience.
those same tickets that were 10 dollars sold for a lot more, to even think this would be canelos only ppv that goes over 1 mil is crazy, hes only getting better and better. And the best part of it is that hes not even 25 yet. when will the day come when people realize that floyd never is or was the draw he claims he is?
with floyd he can back his up with numbers you are only speculating what canelo will do in the future.
this fight going to make a lot of dough no doubt.
it'll do numbers because of canelo being the b side and floyd being the A side point blank period.
Canelo vs. Trout bringing in 40k people in San Antonio, but hell, there are a million hispanics in that area and the tickets were virtually free. What was the GATE for that fight? That's the bottomline.
And for those who still might be a little delusional, it's Mayweather that is on the A side of this fight. This will probably be Canelo's one and only PPV in his entire career that goes over 1 million.
That said, Canelo does bring a legit Mexican audience that Guerrero and Ortiz could only dream of bringing.
I still think if Floyd and Manny fight it will beat this in regards to Gate and PPV sales; especially if Manny can stop Rios then avenge either of his losses to Bradley or Marquez. It won't do 3 million ppv buys like it once could of, but it can still hit 2 million if they time it right. Assuming Manny isn't done.

So let me get this right....Canelo is a bigger draw than Mayweather?
So has Canelo been on a PPV yet????
Only major draws are, Cotto, Pacquiao, Mayweather...
why are you asking questions you already know the answer to? you must be crazy if you dont think canelo is a big draw. cotto, paq, mayweather are close to retirement. let the new guy get the respect he deserves.
showtime problably forced mayweather to accept this fight after the lackluster and dissapointing fight last may !alverez star power is the reason this fight is sold out not floyd !! lets get that clear right now !
I don't think anyone can deny the reason the staidum sold out so quickly is because of Canelo.
This fight still doesn't have the star power of Chavez vs. Delahoya 1, now thats something we wont see anytime soon. No ppv, either you were there in person or you paid 40 bucks to see it in a bar, school gym, school class room (it happened), anywhere you could see it at it was a crazy atmosphere where the fight happened and that seeing it on a ****ty screen. Chavez vs. Delaoya today would probably sell 4 mil ppv today.
I don't see to many people talking about this fight yet. And boxing fans i know feel Alvarez has all the skills but not the experiance to beat Mayweather. And the catch weight is laughable, this really dumbed down the fight for me and many.
doesn't the venue only hold like 15k, it's not like it sold out a stadium
At the prices Floyd fights are, that's a bigger deal than normal.
His fights aren't really considered a value pack.
come fight night youll see who the people showed up to support.
