Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Canelo PPV Buys Projected at 2.2 Million

[Frank Ducketts]

Who really cares who brought in the ppv crowd? Floyd was Floyd and Canelo represented a threat that the public believed was legit.

Boxing won.

Floyd's fans and a Canelos bandwagon fans are arguing who brought in the ppvs, lmao. Boxing won!

If Canelo wasn't on the card, then the Matthysse Garcia fight is the reason this fight possibly sold 2.2. How about this whole card was the reason.

When I saw the title of this thread, I asked myself, "where' the pop corn?".

Awesome.

As soon as people heard canelo was undefeated, people wanted to watch

I think 1.25 might be too high. He will need to stack the card with Mexicans for his card to sell on a mexican holiday imo.

Whatever the number is, its gonna dwarf Canelo's next show and render this entire asinine debate moot.

WOW. thats GREAT for boxing. i honestly didnt think it would break 2mil.
i thought it would hit around 1.8.

it was a PERFECTLY put together card. and the timing was PERFECT. this was the first BIG ppv event of the year (floyd/guerrero doesnt count).

pac/rios is going to SUFFER greatly, all those people dropped $70+ on floyd/canelo, i dont see those same people dropping $60 on macau fight.

Agree it doesnt matter at the end of the day who brought in the crowd...but it wasnt Lucas and Danny. If those guys could garner even 500K buys they'd have a separate event.

Never thought that they would even come close to May/DLH
Great news

tbh I think that Mayweather vs Pacquiao would also pull in around the same numbers even now.

Spot on, the rest stop being tools. Just wait till his next ppv Numbers and i hope canelo is not on the undercard. Everywhere they went Canelo! Canelo!

Canelo has never done Floyd numbers on his on. dude only had one PPV. Floyd's been doing #'s before Canelo. Just that Canelo is popular and people figured he could beat Mayweather (well atleast his fans) everything went according to plan. Floyd didn't need Canelo to do over a million but they did need each other to do these numbers. Can't give Canelo credit and not Mayweather. He still holds the highest PPv # for a boxiong match ANd before you say it...... De La Hoya wasn't doing #'s like that until he had a fight with Floyd.
