I been saying this for a while. I never seen one guy, Floyd that is, bring the inner b1tch out of so many people on this site. So much hate that they can't see how much of a ***** there acting like.

Must be horrible for the A-side to get 12.5 mil and the B-Side to get 41.5 mil the A-side needs better management then Ellerbe was right then.

anyone who thinks Canelo is the main draw is an idiot. first lets see Canelo break records WITHOUT Mayweather as his opponent and then we can talk a and b sides lol.

Mayweather's resume>Canelo's resume

Floyd has shown that he's a 800k ppv buy fighter unless he has a star opponent. I guess we can credit everything after 800k to canelo. Fair?

The fight sold out on the first day. Long before anyone even knew that Matthysse-Garcia would be added to the undercard.

See, this is what I don't understand. If the fight SOLD OUT on the first day (or whenever) and they said that was 19mil - how does it suddenly become 20mil months later? Did they add a thousand folding chairs or what (sarcasm)??? Or was it really NOT sold out but now suddenly is another million dollars of sales later? Serious question.

The only thing I can thing of that a lot of these arena can be modified or expanded to get additional seats. This happens quite often in various sports in which the stadium/arena is expanded, beyond maximum capacity to make room for more fans.

In reality, maybe only 10 percent of the tickets are available to the public to actually purchase. The rest go to brokers, promoters, casinos, etc.

So then how do they come up with a 19-20mil reported sales? Sounds more like a loss of revenue rather then gain, if what you're saying is actually true. Are they counting the cost of the tickets even though they aren't purchased but rather "given" to whomever? Sounds like a good ole promoter spin to me. This says to me "I'm gonna make it sound good, even though we really aren't making that much [reported amt.] in gate sales.... we could be if we actually SOLD them."
