floyd vs canelo will do huge numbers,,,, somewhere in neighborhood of 1.5-1.9 million
I dont believe it will crack 2 mil buys and wont come near the record of oscar-floyd
reasons why
1. HBO spent a crap load of money on promotion for oscar/floyd,, developed 24/7 for that fight, That fight was hyped as the one to save boxing, etc
2. Showtime has spent alot of money on GBP so probably cutting back on ads, or at least wont match the expenditures made by HBO for oscar/floyd
3. casual fans liked oscar, and were interested in floyd who was an unknown to casual fans, but the undefeated record, and p4p #1 ranking made floyd very interesting to the casual fans...
4. Canelo has mexican star power, not global star power like oscar...
5. people have come to know floyd, and casuals dont like him,,, mainstream media thinks he is a joke for never getting the manny fight done, and taking all his "retirements"
6. canelo doesnt have the drawing power of oscar,,
canelo-floyd will still be a huge ppv but wont break the oscar/floyd record, or even 2 million buys,, 1.85 million buys seems about right,, which is still astronomical for a boxing ppv,, serg vs chavez jr only did less than 600k
