Most likely better numbers than Mayweather vs Berto. Both fighters will carry the fight. No such thing as one person carrying it, except when the opponent doesn't belong there in the first place.
650-750k buys, which would be great. 800k tops.
This is Canelo by himself. GGG is not a superstar or does big PPV #'s to be predicting 1mill+. Canelo will carry this PPV for sure.
Around 750k to 1m.
Canelo v Chavez Jr did about 1m? - If you take away the all mexican affair out of it and then factor back in the fact this is the best fight happening, i reckon it'll end up similar to Canelo v Chavez Jr. Maybe a bitless
Canelo only does about 300k against guys like Liam Smith, and GGG does even less. So with each other as a dance parter, i'd say 1m would be pretty good numbers. Anything above that is exceeding expectations.
1m is a hell of a lot of PPV's really, outside of Mayweather PPV's v a big name, nobody is really doing anywhere near that in PPV sales.
1.2 million.
When you energize be Mexican fanbase your garaunteed 900k. The older Mexican fan base buys fights and doesn't have the patience for stream.
Most of the Mexicans I know love Golovkin and think he's super tough. I think Beth will buy because they want to know if Canelo is the real deal. Some were skeptical after the fight fell through the first time.
Most of the blacks and ricans also love GGG but wouldn't go out of their way to see him fight bums but they believe this is a real challenge.

Think Floyd-Conor took away alot of the hype from this fight. I mean interviewers even asked GGG & Canelo about the Floyd fight at their own presser.
Hopefully the Mexican + hardcore fan base gets this excellent PPV alot of buys.
what we need to do is hype this fight as much as possible. Anytime you see a post or picture or anything about it like and share! Talk to people about it, etc.
About 800-850,000 or so.
If the fight really delivers and it goes to the score cards and it's close (or better/worse yet, it's a draw), I can see a rematch definitely doing over one million.
It is going to easily hit a million. I don't understand any of you predicting less than that. Are all of the mexican-american boxing fans going to mysteriously boycott it or something? lol
I think it will fall between 1.4 and 1.8 million.
For whatever its worth, Dan Rafael said in his chat today that industry people are telling him the Mayweather-McGregor fight did not beat the American buy record of 4.6M but got pretty close.
800K-1.3Million
Doesn't have Mainstream Media talking about it yet. Maybe things will pick up around fight week but it doesn't feel like the Mega Fight that we the boxing fans think it SHOULD BE! If they don't get the numbers it should then we the boxing fans take all the blame on this one and don't expect Promoters to be so quick to make these fights in the future if it doesn't have the Buzz to make Big Money!
