No. That can't be correct. You mean Floyd Mayweather deserves the bigger slice of the pie? Just like Oscar De La Hoya when they fought? That can't make sense! You mean as boring a boxer as Mayweather is, he still gets more buys? Unreal. Oh maybe it's because Canelo was on the card vs a shot Mosley.

Sarcasm at it's best.

This is why canelo did not wanted to be in the undercard in the first place.

Canelo sold at least 500,000 PPV's, this is exactly why canelo did not wanted to be in the undercard in the first place because he knows that he sells a lot of PPV's and Mayweather always ends up taking all the credit.
In September when Canelo headlines his first ppv we should see just how big of a star he really is and how much did he helped KFC in his last 2 fights.

yeah, b/c Mosley and Canelo are PPV draws

Canelo is the new rising star of Mexico, there anointed one. Cotto is forever be ricans people's champ.

Btw it was on cinco de mayo. Enough said..

[Spoon23]

yeah, b/c Mosley and Canelo are PPV draws

or it may well be,

Canelo, Cotto, Mosely alone should pull 1million plus.

That said it just means the 1.5 million buys if you divided the viewers who payed for their fighter.

I think 1million are routing for Cotto and Canelo (Puertoricans/Mexicans a like)

Then the 500k is routing for Floyd and Mosely..

Sad really, just shows Floyd's pulling power nowadays.

This is a disapointment.

[Spoon23]

Low numbers considering Mayweather had Cotto, Canelo, Mosley.

exactly disappointing numbers. Canelo, Cotto combines is 1million ppvs already.

That leaves 500 for Floyd and Mosely lol..

[DeadLikeMe]

They're so mad

[Spoon23]

Times are not the same....a Couple Hundred Thousand Mexicanos.
Bought the P4V, to watch the Cinnamon Man, dominate Mosley!!!

More like a million were routing for Cinnamon man plus Ricans were routing for Cotto.

[Bacatit]

Nah I give him credit as it's obvious he's maintained big numbers since, but before then did he have huge numbers? Did he come anywhere close to De La Hoya? Nope. Great businessman. Supremely skilled but the way he parades that statistic as if he was solely responsible and seemingly willing to forget the other big name on the bill always makes me laugh.

Hoya was a stepping stone. Floyd took Hoya's heart and #$ then raised the bar

They're so mad

True. Floyd fans are so mad it didn't reach the 2 million mark Schaefer had projected despite the undercard attractions. I understand what they're going through. This is their life. This is very important to them.

[Spoon23]

They're so mad

Who mad? You should be sad.. Floyd can only pull in 500k lol

The rest were for the other stars
