it would be lucky to hit 700k at the moment. canelo is irrelevant at the moment, he NEEDS something major to get back the hype he lost, and i dont think angulo will help that.
if pac beats bradley by ko & canelo gets a great win over angulo.... then maybe 1.2 mil.... and thats mostly due to pac.
If Arum is given the same amount of marketing money and allowed to add strong undercards, he could do far better.
Showtime makes less than they spend as opposed to HBO spending less and making more.
SHO is possibly losing money on Mayweather's fights. Every direction they face is costing them huge amounts of money starting from Mayweather's guarantee. Every move Schaefer makes, he spends thousands of dollars, if not millions. Arum does it quid pro quo, or "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours." For example, when he sends Pac/Marquez to Mexico, Mexican promoters are footing the bills for the tour; same way Macau casino operators paid for Rios/Pac tour, and presence, in exchange for promoting their business, etc.
That's why PPV numbers don't paint a complete picture. How many PPVs do they have to sell to pay for Mayweather's guarantee? Go figure.
It would do huge numbers,, easily over a million,, probably 1.5 mil,,, I dont see it breaking the 2 mil mark, but would still be a huge blockbuster on par with floyd-cotto, or floyd-shane
