    I have been asking for the past 2-3 days. Since everybody from the media to fans keeps telling the world Alvarez is a draw can anyone please post any fighters cards that Alvarez has been on the undercard. Post the live gates and ppv buys with and without Alvarez. IMO Alvarez just ain't that popular espcially here in the US.

    Truthfully doesn't matter whether Alvarez was on the PPV or not cause Trout vs Alvarez is a much better fight than PBF vs Guerrero.

    Why didn't GBP put Trout vs Alvarez on ppv? I really want to see what his buy rate would be with all the stuff people talk about him.
    It would be idiotic to do two PPVs back to back. There's only so many fans and money to go around.

      Lets be fair here, how many fighters have signed a guarantee to fight somebody else, before he even won his current fight?

        That's pretty much what I said yesterday. Why on Earth would Canelo fight on an undercard leaving money behind, without a guarantee from Floyd?

        People saying Canelo is ducking is out of their minds.

          Canelo-Lopez drew 1.1M views on Showtime, competing with the Chavez-Martinez PPV. For comparison, Broner's last fight on HBO against Rees drew 1.4M viewers.

          But Alvarez is a draw. I think he's as big a draw as anyone not named Pacquiao, Mayweather or even Cotto.

            Never said it had to be back to back. Also Alvarez ppv is going to be what $30-$40 and PBF ppv is going to be like $60-$80. If a person can't pay $40 in April and $80 in May then something wrong!!!!! I know people have different financial issues but $120 in 2 months ain't a lot to ask.

              You didn't get it. In exchange for fighting on Floyds undercard, Canelo wanted a guaranteed Floyd fight. Floyd said OK, but wouldn't sign anything.

              Canelo would have been ill advised fighting on that undercard leaving behind money like that. I mean. Canelo can easily headline a card by himself.

                I'll bet you accounts Maweather doesn't sign to fight Canelo.

                  Co-sign. And same the same could be said for Trout if he wins.

                    Didn't say he wasn't a draw don't think he is what people are making him out to be as far as his drawing power.

                    Even though that is just one fight I have to respect the amount of people that tuned in to that fight. I partially stand corrected. Do you got any ppv card numbers for fights with and without Alvarez on the undercard? If the numbers are in the 100,000's then I stand 100% corrected and will admit I was wrong about that young man

                      Nah, I don't have that confidence in Mayweather. He's a flaky son of a b*tch. I would be very surprised if they didn't fight though, assuming they both win.
