floyd-the ghost will still do a million plus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And if he doesn't, will you take a knee?

[xcaret IV]

your an idiot if you think its not gonna affect the mayweather fight..... Arum himself said that 60% of bought PPVs come from hispanic homes... go slap yourself rookie

[Phenom]

I think Canelo would have added 100K+ this time around simply because Guerrero is the worst opponent Floyd fought since Tata

Now with the belief of Pac/May never happening a lot of casual fans won't tune in like they usually do.

[DoktorSleepless]

I don't think Canelo affected Mayweather's previous PPV buys that much, but I think Canelo is a ton more popular now it's definitely a huge factor now.

Floyd could fight anyone and break records.

Not like people ARENT going to buy the PPV now that Canelo isnt on it....when are fighters (and promoters) goign to learn you NEVER EVER have the upper hand when negotiating with Mayweather..

4 big names: Mayweather, Cotto (3rd biggest PPV draw at the time), Canelo, Mosley did 1.5 (May 5, 2012)

And you expect Mayweather vs Guerrero who is virtually unknown to do as big? It wasn't even going to do 1.5 with Canelo-Trout still on it, and now that it's off it won't even break 1 mil.

I agree with others posters saying you should take a knee.

what? are you serious.....

Mayweather vs Ortiz did over a million buys... and the casual fan had no idea who Ortiz was.


PPV's have always been focused on casual fans... and even non-boxing fans know who Mayweather is, know he can be a douche..and will buy the PPV in hopes he gets hurt/loses.

Doesnt matter who his opponent is.

It does and will effect the ppv #'s simply because many fans felt like they would be getting their money's worth by having Canelo Co headline along with Floyd. By not having the Canelo vs trout fight on the same card lessens the value of the ppv. Truth be told, the Canelo trout fight is a much more intriguing fight than Floyd/Guerrero where as the Canelo fight is a pickem fight while Floyd would be a heavy favorite going into his fight against a fighter who is unknown to the casual fan base.
