Imagine Cotto Canelo with a Aldo-McGregor type of build up! Oh man, that would have driven the ppv to 1.5 million. Idk if u watch UFC but that's a fight to see bro. And I'm happy the ppv did so good. Great for boxing as a whole.
Nah I'm not much of a fan of UFC but Aldo-McGregor would probably do 1.2 million buys if not more. Some reports have it being a threat to be the highest selling PPV in UFC history
For real it was about to be OVER for Oscar if Canelo suffered a loss...however, if this PPV got 900K buys, then that is really good. Especially when the expectation was around 650K.
It didn't help that the lead-up to the fight wasn't much given that both Cotto and Canelo aren't very talkative. The "face off" on HBO was probably the worst one they've had yet.

Not for nothing but Canelo saved Oskie's life bro. He was about to start sniffing mad Coke and the fishnets was coming outta retirement had Nelo lost. Matthysse got put out. Lemiuex got put out. He had Ronda on the cover the Ring Magazine, ready to jump start her Boxing career and Holly put that b1tch out. That hoe ass n*gga Hoya was about to start selling his ass if he took another L.

According to Rick, posted 40 minutes ago:
Here is the Canelo - Cotto PPV figure, and it barely broke 650,000 PPV buys!!! I know a certain writer reported a 900,000 PPV buy figure, the same reporter that wrote that GGG - Lemieux broke 150,000 buys, when in fact that fight in actuality did 97,000 buys. Who is feeding the writer tainted info, but lots of great food!!!
Has there been a number from someone other than Dan or Bernardo Osuna? Osuna is one of ODH's butt boys so I do not trust him.
if anything, osuna is more related to haymon than he is to oscar, you know PBC=ESPN..
I buy the numbers, but idk about the high possibility for a rematch. The fight was pretty garbage (although in light of Klitschko vs Fury it looks like foty). I can't see a rematch myself unless there was a Cotto rematch clause.
i agree, if there is a rematch it wont reach a million again, but then you had tvazteca making it look like the fight was gifted to canelo, so they kind of prepared the ground for a rematch ... who knows, but money wise is very viable ...
That's a great #, Haters were predicting 500K 0r 600K, that's just ridiculous!!!!!
predicting that ANY ppv (not involving Floyd or Pac) will do over a half million buys is NOT hating, not by a long shot.......
according to bernardo osuna(ESPN) is going to be more than 1.1mil...
