casuals are going to be a bit gunshy after manny - floyd.
can you imagine if that was the only boxing match you watched all year, and you had to pay $100 to see it?
would you buy another fight in the fall? i doubt it.
i'll be pleasantly surprised if this one breaks 1 million buys. shocked would be the word i'd use. pleasantly shocked.
Depends on the promotion. That's all it comes down to, the fight is there.
I think it'll sell. People (casuals) are starting to hate cotto more & more lol
This fight is in a bad slot, Floyd-Berto in September, GGG-Lemuiex in October and this fight in November, I don't think it passes 700K, fight is great, but 2 PPV's before it, it's gonna be tough.
More casuals recognize Cotto then Canelo too. I was in a biker bar with a friend I was visiting P.A. and I was shocked talking to this guy and he didn't now sh1t about boxing but Cotto was 1 of like 4 fighters he said he new. I thnk it's because Cotto's been around longer but also because he speaks english.
Name a fight not involving Mayweather or Pacquiao that has cracked a million buys?
I can see it doing over a million or being below. It's kinda tough to call. Obviously Canelo & Cotto both have their large fanbases, but still, sometimes that doesn't equal huge PPV buys.
in 2004 Hopkins vs Oscar
floyd pac 2 and prob floyd canelo 2 would be bigger
Canelo cotto will do more. floyd pac was super boring, casuals will not order it. That fight will do 900k tops, canelo floyd 2 will do about700k.
without a doubt 1.3+million buys for sure. This is the biggest fight in boxing right now and both these guys have a huge follow. I'll even say anything less than 1.3+million buys will be very shocking.
floyd pac 2 and prob floyd canelo 2 would be bigger
800k. A good undercard should be a top priority as well.
They need to absolutely load the undercard with young solid names to create new stars, because boxing will have no stars after Cotto and Canelo retire.
