LMAO at all the people who think that canelo or trout effects mayweathers ppv.

Yeah, I'm sure all the hotels and casinos were happy to get those cancellation calls earlier today.

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.

lol, that is ridiculouslly untrue.

Maybe to an actual avid boxing fan they see it as a lesser PPV...but Casual fans buy PPVs for the main event....

[Bullrider]

what? are you serious.....

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

Mayweather/Ortiz was peppered with Mexican stars, or fighters familiar with Mexicans. There was Vargas, Lopez, Morales, Canelo, etc.

[El Chicano]

whatever PPV number's Floyd gets in May, those numbers will have been significantly greater if Canelo was on the card, especially on Cinco De Mayo weekend.

ill take a knee after you taco breaths brush your teeth

[check hook]

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.

Ok then. Let's bet accounts. If it does 1 million or over your useless account is mine. if it doesn't my account is yours. To accept just sig it.

Problem here is these casuals who buy big ppv events don't know who guerrero is. Its not a household name in boxing that casuals fans associate with. And as for the floyd/Ortiz ppv #'s, it did not do 1.25mil like shaefer claimed it did. Many inside sources claimed that the fight did around 600k buys. HBO never even released the #'s for that fight.

[Sangre Azteca]

Nobody aint buying the Mayweather fight now, nobody and I mean nobody wants to see him fight Guerrero, the paying public wants to see him fight PAC, Martinez and Canelo, now without Canelo on the undercard the casual and some Hardcore Mexicans fans will only watch the Canelo fight, April 20 just became the real 5 de Mayo, Mexicans don't like how Mayweather fights, Mayweather just **** himself in the ass lol.

One of the lamest jokes I've ever seen.
