ODLH and Roc Nation have high expectations,Excuses when nelo/Cotto doesn't sell well?

People are crazy if you think this PPV isn't gonna sale!!!!! It's prob the biggest fight of the year and the two biggest most passionate ethnic groups fro boxing. I don't get why people feel the need to hate on everything unless it fits there agenda Did Floyd ruin things for future PPV's with casual fans? Yes that's been happening for yrs, but this PPV will sale

Blame Floyd. Simple.

the fight doesn't do more than 600k.. Ill be surprised if it passes 500 honestly.. but good for them if they do... Oscar must be wearing fishnets again if he thinks its doing over 1.5mil..

What are the purses for this fight? Pretty sure they need the higher ticket prices. If they're not selling its because they overvalued the event. Give oscar credit were credit is due. This fight is going to happen the day after a Latin award show also in Vegas There's no doubt this will sell all the Latin people are already going to be in Vegas

I think it it falls short is because of all the people that bought giggis ppv and felt stiffed

I'd really be surprised if this fight doesn't sell well. I mean, Canelo is a rock star to Mexican fans, as Cotto is to Puerto Rican fans. Throw in the long-standing Mexico-Puerto Rican rivalry, & it seems like a can't miss fight. Did they price themselves out? ODH should be promoting the hell out of this fight!

I still think it will. Oscar just isnt a very good promoter cause this promotion sucks and he seems to be paying much more attention to Floyd Good point cotto/canelo hasn't got a lot of promotion

Oh God, is this another fight people are hoping fails? (because oscar dissed floyd) Obviously it isn't going to sell as much as they are quoted as predicting. No need for excuses. The PPV model is in trouble for several reasons. I think the fight does 750,000....is that good or bad? I don't know. It depends on how much the event costs to put on (purses, advertising, etc). No one wants it to fail. Posters just think it might given odh's rant. There seems no logical reason for the rant this close to such a big event other than desperation.

GGG/DL/undercard was 2/1.5/.5 = 4m total Cotto/Canelo is 10/6.5/?? = ~17-20m estimate I can also definitely say that the advertising budget is much higher for Cotto/Canelo. There was no promotion for the GGG fight in the NYC area - everything was online. Cotto/Canelo is being featured on local channels, I saw some posters around town, and there was even a commercial in a Times Sq IMAX theatre. Cotto also gets a share of PPV proceeds, in another thread I used data to estimate it to be about ~16% of PPV revenue. They need to sell at least ~700k PPVs to break even.

I still think it will. Oscar just isnt a very good promoter cause this promotion sucks and he seems to be paying much more attention to Floyd Yeah, attacking floyd isn't how you sell a fight, especially if Floyd doesn't respond.

Ok,now room/ticket package being offered for Cotto-Canelo by Mandalay Bay.Yeah,tickets are readily available and not moving #boxing— Steve Kim (@steveucnlive) November 13, 2015 I assumed this once I saw odh's rant. I'm sure they will pick up. The American fan has so much going on this time of year.

I still think it will. Oscar just isnt a very good promoter cause this promotion sucks and he seems to be paying much more attention to Floyd Yeah, he's an idiot. If he wants to say outlandish things, relate it to the fight. Boxing isnt a mainstream sport and nobody that doesn't watch boxing know who Cotto or Canelo is. With overpriced tickets what do you expect. If they made the fight in NY or Texas it would have sold out imo. I was thinking the same thing.

That's crazy. I thought this would do really well. I still think it will. Oscar just isnt a very good promoter cause this promotion sucks and he seems to be paying much more attention to Floyd

Wish i had known this ahead of time!!

FYI Golovkin-Lemieux ticket prices: $500, $300, $200, $100 and $50 Cotto-Canelo ticket prices: $2,000, $1,750, $1,250, $650, $350 and $150 What are the purses for this fight? Pretty sure they need the higher ticket prices. If they're not selling its because they overvalued the event.

I'll make mines count but it won't fall 3x shorter then the expectations of Golovkin HBO def lost money on that one. The Latin market will carry this fight but it won't reach 1.5 I can say that.
