Canelo "face of boxing" "Super A-Side" sold 45k tickets against Smith. And 250-300k PPVs.
WOW, impressive right? not really. The tickets were so cheap that the total gate was just 5 millions. Source.
Golovkin numbers 2 years ago against Lemieux:
20k seats, 2 or 2.5 millions in gate.
150k in PPVs.
For comparison, Ward-Kovalev sold 3.3 millions in gate. So Canelo did more than that fight, but not a great difference.
As we see, by himself Canelo doesn't sell as good as he says. He doubles Golovkin's numbers, but that's it.
And I expect Golovkin-Jacobs to sell better than Golovkin-Lemieux with a gate between 3 and 4 millions and 200k PPVs. So maybe the gap is even less.
Actually it's most of Floyd's fans that are insecure. As soon as someone disagrees with them, they call them racist.
well 9 times out of 10 they post racial ass sh1t

More people attended Canelomania vs. a euro-bum than Golovkins entire gate history combined. #knowyourrole

Best comment of the thread lol
Lmao every other thread backfires. Dude is like Mosley at this point.
He's been shot b4 his career even started.
hahaha, he is like the actual Mayorga hahaha

That's how you can tell the childish minds from the independent thinkers here. They've got to attribute super-human qualities to their heroes. Everything must be better than everyone else.
Impossible to have a conversation with those types because you can illustrate how 1+1=2, but they'll still insist that it =3 if Golovkin does it.
GGG one up'd him there. GGG vs Brook sold out 02 arena in a matter of minutes and while 02 arena only holds 16k+, the gate made 5 million sterling (Over 6 million dollars).
Don't worry guys, this Maxi guy is just taking blows to the dome for your entertainment. I guess he's a lot like his hero GGG, seeing as how both love to block punches with their face and do it to put on a "big drama show". :lol1:
Jacobs is a no name now? :rofl:
Wade was a no name which is why it wasn't PPV for Golovkin. Jacobs is a bigger name than Smith in America, that's just fact retard. If Canelo fought Jacobs it would do over 500k.
Maxi Pad making posts that backfire again. LMAO Now trying to tell us that Smith is just as known as Jacobs? How many would show up in NY or any other state in the US if Smith fought anyone NOT named Canelo? And would HBO/Showtime or any network pay for it? Smith is closer to Wade then Jacobs or Lemieux.
We will compare against GGG vs Jacobs which is also GGG vs a no name. Lemieux is also a "no name", don't tell me he was known for casual fans...
I'm not talking about their fighting skills, but it's known that Jacobs can't sell well. (8k seats on the biggest fight of his life, on his hometown, 300k in ratings). He's the #2 MW but he doesn't sell much unfortuntely.
Maxi Pad taking L's again. You dumb phuk if Canelo faces Jacobs or Lemieux it does way more PPVs then Smith because those guys have ACTUALLY headlined fights on HBO/Showtime. Smith has NEVER fought on US soil or on US TV before. And still it drew 2X PPVs more attendance then GGG fighting bigger names against fighters fans have actually seen before.
Sorry there is no way spinning GGG in his biggest fight doing half as well as Canelo fighting his worst name opponent who americans and mexicans have never seen before.
so best GGG and Ward fights vs Canelo worst ok man ok
We will compare against GGG vs Jacobs which is also GGG vs a no name. Lemieux is also a "no name", don't tell me he was known for casual fans...

I like how he left out the $7 mil hate for Khan. Fifteen thousand in attendance, $7 mil hate. GGG vs Lemieux, 21K in attendance, $2 mil gate.
Another question, who besides Canelo is doing $5 mil gates outside of Vegas?
He also made a bigger gate with Cotto... but the point is Canelo vs a no name. Just like we will compare later Golovkin-Jacobs results. Jacobs can't sell or draw ratings so it's the same.

Got 'em! End of Thread/
Time for me to do what I usually do.
Namely, shoot yet another burning slug into the head of yet another weak thread.
I always wonder why some posters lie or mislead when facts are readily verifiable...oh well.
That fight with Beefy at ATT Stadium?
It was an attendance record, Einstein.
But right now, Alvarez calls the shots. He’s the face of boxing — Saturday’s event broke the AT&T Stadium attendance record set by Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey in 2008 — and will fight Golovkin when the time is right.

The official attendance was almost 52K.
The official attendance for tonight’s fight at AT&T Stadium was 51,240.

Most reported the PPV buys as either 300k or close to it. The 250-300K number comes from a few sources.
But, even the low number is over 2 and a half times more than the low range for Lil g.
Put it this way...if they used only those numbers to determine the split, Lil g would get about 25%.
And that is using the lowest numbers for both men.
Use the highest and it is a lot worse.
Stop trying to compare star power between Canelo and Lil g.
They are no where near the same level.
You know in wrestling when a heel comes in and consistently uses his finisher on someone at the end of RAW and your left with the opponent lying in a crumpled heap completely battered and ****.. that heap is maxi and his threads right now.
Just let it go... GGG is not a crowd puller in any way whatsoever.
