Nobody wanted to see that fight

What? You mean the face of boxing only sold 200,000 units? That's unbelievable! I couldn't have been more happy for Eddie Hearn, Matchroom and DAZN. Hopefully this fight cost them a fortune.According to a legendary Matchmaker Rick Glaser the fight barely did over 200k buys. That is absolutely terrible. It is not a good sign for boxing. Now this fight was intended to be a tune-up and so these kind of fights have never generated big pay-per-view sales. That is why if you want to be a cash cow you have to fight top fights where people do not know the result of the fight.
That's what they for getting for allowing Alvarez to fleece them out of Millions of dollars by not counting their chickens before they hatch. They gambled on Canelo's alleged star power online and got burned.
Happy days are here again!

It shouldn't matter who Canelo fought given his superstar drawing power or so they say. Face of boxing my ass! He hasn't fought a good opponent in five years.
Casuals have tuned his ass out. Now he just might be forced to fight David Benavidez in order for DAZN to at least break even on all that money they have advanced him.
Boxing fans are the ones who are carrying this sport. If it's a good match up then we will purchase it. However, if it's a garbage trashy fight like all of Canelo's opponents he has been feeding us then we won't.

Andrade also withdrew his mandatory at 160, pretending he has better fights at 168 waiting for him.
This guys wants no challenges IMO. All these casuals screaming Canelo should fight him are talking nonsense.Comment

In which fantasy world are Charlo , Andrade and Benavidez better than Bivol?
Canelo took the real challenge last year and lost.

Rick Glaser for like the 1000x is not a reliable F^cking Source so stop using him as one!
That being said, I'm sure the event was a complete failure because nobody wanted to see this fight AT ALL! They knew they would take a big L though which is why Canelo took a Huge Paycut to do a fight at home. Canelo incredible Entrance was the best part of the entire event, the fight end up being OK because of Ryder Heart and toughness but overall yeah wasn't PPV worthy at all
this might be a blessing actually because now the PRESSURE IS ON, he has to fight Benavidez or somebody of that Caliber to get his numbers back up because I think even his hardcore fanboys are starting to get real frustrated
People want Canelo vs Benavidez, Charlo he needs that American Antagonist like Plant was to help sell these PPV's. European Fighters are just not interesting to his North American Fans and North American Fans IN GENERAL...AT ALL. Even a Bivol rematch is just whatever I think those numbers will be very average as wellLast edited by sicko; 05-13-2023, 02:57 PM.Comment

Ah shit man! Canelo only took that fight because he thought Bivol would be just another one of his cherry-picked, limited and over matched Euro bum fights. In short, he thought Dmitry would become just another fighter on his European bum of the month tour! He underestimated him. Instead, he caught a huge humungous nut busted in his face by Bivol. That's right. He gave Canelo a facial

Also, don't leave out the casuals. They are exiting in droves as well. They are simply not into this underground online streaming over the internet.Rick Glaser for like the 1000x is not a reliable F^cking Source so stop using him as one!
