Canelo/Plant did 800k and Fury/Wilder 3 about 600k in the US just last year though, Conor had two fights that did well over a million. Big PPV numbers are still very possible with the right fights and platforms.Comment

This only goes to show that casual fans aren't as gullible and ****** as they want us to believe.
They are not going to spend their hard earned cash on some uneven, one-sided mismatch that no one ever demanded. I'm pretty sure by now that they can spot an overcharge when they see one.
They want to see Canelo in some tough competitive fights. Beating up on washed up 40 years olds are not their definition of a highly competitive/hotly contested fight. They were smart to avoid that shit!Comment

I agree. It really all depends on the matchup. People want their money's worth.Comment

C'mon boss! Let's not make fun of their misery. I didn't agree with DAZN swindling their loyal customers for an additional fee to watch this pay per view event but at the same time I don't wish them to go out of business either. More boxing is always good for the boxing consumer.Comment

Matchroom does good with the lower weights. I don't want them to fail either.

Based on the Caleb Plant fight doing 800k. Based on a Bivol fight who nobody knew doing 500k. A Mexican-American fighter like Benavidez vs Mexican Canelo is an easy fight to market and sell. Charlo is more of un an unknown but is an American undefeated fighter with KO power. Easier to market than Bivol or Beterbiev as opponents.
Also Charlo and Benavidez are both in their primeComment

Match ups sells the fights. Two popular fighters this time around did not sell well. Too much time in between fights.Comment

Canelo vs Golovkin 3 was PPV in Australia, New Zealand, UK, USA and Canada and broadcast in over 100 countries worldwide on Dazn. The talk of losing money is funny lol.
Mexico showed the fight on Azteca 7 & Canal 5 channels and streamed via TV Azteca Deportes and Vix+ - don't worry, plenty of people watched the fight.Comment
