Comments Thread For: Schaefer Overwhelmed By Reaction to Mayweather-Canelo

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is overwhelmed by the massive reaction to the upcoming mega-bout between Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26KOs) and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs), which takes place on September 14th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Showtime Pay-Per-View will carry the fight.

Schaefer's company has been involved in several big pay-per-view events - including the Oscar De La Hoya vs. Mayweather, which generated a record 2.5 million pay-per-view buys.

The show sold out quickly. The gate is going to be a record-breaking figure of over $19.5 million dollars. Even though the show is sold out, Golden Boy's office has been flooded with phone calls from fans, and many celebrities, who are trying to obtain tickets. [Click Here To Read More]

It ought to be a high grossing event with a strong undercard. Looking forward to it.

Just happy to be lucky enough to have got tickets it would take a huge amount to make me think about selling it.

This fight will be a snooze fest reasons why they put Garcia Matthysse on the undercard.

I wouldn't take it for granted. Floyd won't fight Guerrero or Baldomir. Canelo is a big, young fighter, and could cause Floyd many problems, to say the least.

I'm not sure why Schaefer is overwhelmed. If you put on a solid, duel main event fight card with relevant 'A' quality talent, where boxing fans actually care about the outcomes...they're going to buy tickets. No funny science needed there.

Golden Boy has done a fine job lately, and this event is hopefully an indicator of good things to come. Please keep us overwhelmed, Richard.
