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

[BIGBOXINGFAN]

I told you guys from the start Canelo was the A side. He can draw 40k butts on seats per fight. He's the reason Showtime boxing is successful. He's the reason this PPV was successful.

Well if he was the A side.......He should fire his manager and leave his promoter because they just paid the b side 41.5 million guaranteed while mr A side himself only got 5 million guaranteed.

Floyd will pocket $70-80 million according to Richard Schaefer after PPv sales are tallied

I'm confused by this.


Dan Rafael @danrafaelespn 11 Sep
Contracts are filed w/ NSAC. Canelo making $5M on fight night, but it's misleading. Guaranteed WAY more from PPV. I'm told $12M. #TheOne


Although Mayweather pocketed a record $41.5 million guaranteed purse compared to Alvarez's of $5 million, Schaefer estimated that Mayweather stands to pocket "$70 or $80 million" with the new grossing record, and Alvarez, "well over $10 million."

Floyd is da man he gets all the credit.,... he get big pay per view even fighting a bum

Man I love it. Manny fringe fans and floyd haters are showing what they really care about. They don't care that its a great number for boxing. Instead they want to talk about how manny factors Or how its canelo. Just goes to show you that they are not boxing fans. But hey,

Man it must suck to be a manny fan right now. Floyd had another 2 mil plus ppv.media wants him to fight at mw-they don't even consider manny anymore. Floyd got ton of praise for his performance. Espn fans voted him top 5 all time. Fought twice when u guys said he wouldn't. Fought canelo when you said he wouldn't.

It'll be ok guys.

Great point

These guys are fuming mad because I've won as many rounds on ppv than canelo did this past weekend and their other great hope Matthysse got his face broken. The kids are upset and are gonna hate on any valid point for the foreseeable future. Remember 6 months ago Danny was afraid of "THE MACHINE" and was gonna duck him, and Floyd would never fight Canelo cause he was scared. they spent their time talking cash **** day and night, now look what they've been reduced to

Mayweather vs Pacquiao is the only one left out there.
Even after the Ko the fight would still be huge.

I forgot exactly the obvious...
Then: Mayweather vs Pacquiao would be the last big PPV ever in this sport...

[PAC-BOY]

Too bad Mr Bob won't let Pacquiao come out and play.

made no sense.

Lol, you want to see your boy get knocked the hell out again? With fans like you who needs enemies!

Get Kod? Canelo hasent lived long enough in this world to have figured out Pac. Bold...made no sense!

Pac would NEVER FIGHT CANELO and you know it. He refused to fight the boxing rabbi, roach wanted him to do it but pac refused saying "he is too big" plus canelo would ko pac inside of 2 rounds. His defense is just too poor canelo would be able to hit him at will.

Like Margarito did? He was big. And better than Canelo.

Let me guess, Manny would ask for a catchweight at 150.

Id say...Yes. 152 would be my guess!

If Canelo was the A-side, Ellerbe was right. He has to most incompetent, idioitic management in sports. As the A-side and defending champ, he was on the B-side of the fight poster and entered the ring first. As the A-side and defending champ, he agreed to a catchweight. And most importantly, as the A-side, agreed to basically agreed to a relatively low guarantee with very lil to none of the PPV kickback. Very rarely do I agree with anything Ellerbe says. But if Canelo was indeed the A-side as you say. He needs to fire his entire team immediately.

2.2 Million peop watched a fencing match hooray!!!

[TheMexicutioner]

Pac-Canelo would definitely do around 3 mil. Would be a lot more entertaining too.

[The Big Dunn]

Before Canelo fought Floyd, which one of Canelo's fights sold over million ppv's?

Frank d don't worry about the fringe manny fans and the floyd haters. Let them stew in there own bile. If history teaches us anything we know manny v canelo will do about 1.2 mil less just like manny odh did. Why even worry about it.

Let them whine, give canelo credit. It doesn't matter. Boxing won. Floyd won. They lost.
