Floyd could care less about PPV numbers he's all about Record braking Guarantee's and that's what makes him A-side Full Stop.

I knew someone would bring that up,,canelo was already popular Mexican fighter,de leon was on there too...any which way you put it,he always has Mexican fighters on there to help..always,,,have him choose another date,how about feb with African American month? why doesn't he choose his own date? and like I said have nothing but African americans..lol..I can already see the ppv numbers..300,000

Now ponce is help floyd sell c'mon lmao to black fighters have done it many times have Mexican in history no...if delahoya needed floyd and Shane ....lets be real Mexican don't sell tickets and have not solds with out black headliner dude stop ...it's really dumb making it a race thing but if your going ti go their lets be real blacks have dominated sport for a long while as stated earlier I'm from both culture but my Mexican half is getting carried away ....when mex vs mex start doing constant mill numbers lets talk

[BajanXLegend]

I'm not surprised if Floyd is guaranteed $120m for this fight.

Canelo was already a huge name without this PPV. He was going to head line his first at 22 yrs old with or without Floyd quit frontin

Same can be said for Mayweather
Oscars name and PPV built him haha
quit tard'n Skills and stick to posting hot chicks in your avi

Exactly who was he going to headline a PPV against? Schafer could have put Alvarez/Trout on PPV, but he knew that Alvarez is not capable of carrying a PPV by himself. If the Mayweather fight wasn't signed, Schafer was going to try to make an Alvarez/Cotto fight. That fight would have been on PPV, but only because of Cotto and it still would have been lucky to draw 400,000 ppvs. Do you really think anyone would have paid $40 or $50 to see Alvarez/Lara or Alvarez/Angulo on PPV?

Alvarez built a good following knocking out stiffs in his hometown and selling tickets ranging from $10 for the nosebleed section to $350 (the minimum price for Mayweather/Alvarez ticket) for a ringside seat to the Trout fight. The reason he did it is because guys like Mayweather, Oscar De La Hoya, Pacquiaio, Felix Trinidad and Ricky Hatton made the lower weights popular in terms of attendance and PPV numbers. When Mayweather was 22, the heavyweight division was the only division that drew huge crowds and large PPV numbers. So, Alvarez owes his current popularity not only to Mayweather, but to a number of others who preceded him and made the lower weights popular on PPV broadcasts.

In terms of his drawing power, people in Mexico do not pay for PPVs and I guarantee you Alvarez couldn't have sold 100,000 ppvs in the U.S.for an Alvarez/Robert Guerrerro fight, let alone the 1 million ppvs (or even Fat Dan's manufactured number of 825,000 that the haters choose to believe) sold for Mayweather/Guerrerro.

The numbers speak for themselves. The Alvarez fight will be Mayweather's 11th PPV event 45 fights, all since 2005. It will be Alvarez's first PPV event in 43 fights.

[Wyvceo]

how many ppvs did floyd do at 22?

Mayweather dismantles Diego and Shane PAC beena fraud and Mikey Garcia said Floyd's best ever how does that make you feel

You quoted the wrong person lol! I said pacquiao is the catchweight king not floyd, chill out don't take theses Floyd haters serious dude it's not worth it

[johnnyrambo]

Well said but my point is Nelo owes the money he hasnt made yet. Its hush hush right now I know. If he dont win its a bigger set back for him than we could all wish for. I just dont wana see him fighting in rooster arenas again for beer. He loves micro brews
