Comments Thread For: Canelo-Angulo Generates Over 350K PPV Buys

[VAGAB0ND]

don't know why people are comparing him to mayweathers numbers,this kid is just his second ppv fight,first headlining,,even Floyd at the start against Judah and others did the same as canelo,and canelo is coming off a loss Floyd was winning,,,it's only fair to campare their numbers later after canelo has done more ppv fights,not now,even cotto who was already a star did only 250k against mayorga who was a popular fighter,canelo gets a lot of hype but I don't think it's fair to compare his numbers with Floyd at this stage of his career,we should wait until he has atleast 4 or 5 more,then we'll see

I agree 100%. I guess they're just being haters.

canelo just might be the #1 cash cow in boxing for a long time.

Here's a look at the PPV numbers of some superstars in their first PPV headliner:

Oscar De La Hoya vs. Rafael Ruelas - 330,000 PPVs

Floyd Mayweather vs. Arturo Gatti - 340,000 PPVs

Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales - 350,000 PPVs

And now

Canelo vs. Alfredo Angulo - 350,000 PPVs


I think the most impressive are Canelo and De La Hoya because their opponents weren't very popular. Manny had Erik Morales who was known for his trilogy with Marco Antonio Barrera and Floyd had Arturo Gatti who was known for his trilogy with Micky Ward and his 1998 F.O.T.Y. with Ivan Robinson.

What was Rafael Ruelas known for? And what was Alfredo Angulo known for?

350K? Not bad at all for his first PPV.

[Senor_frogs]

wait hold up!!

I thought Canelo and his super supportive Mexican fanbase was the cause for breaking the PPV record against Floyd!! SMH only 350k??? Wow guess yall only supportive when he's fighting an American fighter then huh?

How many sales did the Mayweather vs Guerrero fight do? Just saying there's a reason why he only fights twice a year. And it so happens to be for the most part against Mexican fighters on Mexican holidays. He picks quality fighters with fan friendly styles who have good momentum behind them. Not necessarily the best guy out there. If he where about that he'd of fought Lara at 154lbs instead of Cotto. But Lara has no fan base therefore he has nothing to offer on the PPV end. The Mayweather vs Alexander fight never happened for the same reason that nobody would pay to see that (not that alexander was the best contender on the div.) Mayweather Jr. is a business man first and secondly a GREAT fighter. After all Boxing it is a business.

[QUOTE=ox805er;14326081]wouldn't expect any less from my fellow Mexican fans!! I bet if you put two Mexican taxi drivers that hate each other from Tijuana on PPV they'd sell.. Still good for Canelo..[/QUOTE

Not really. Kind of a boring fight

Gatti was the headliner in Gatti-Mayweather. Mayweather had to beg for that fight.

Floyd's first headliner was Judah. 375K

So does that mean if Terrence Crawford fought Ricky Burns on May 3rd,the PPV numbers would be through the roof?Floyd fought Hatton in December of 07 and Floyd fought Guerrero on May 3rd or 4th of 2013.But the Hatton fight did better then the Guerrero fight,so that disputes your lame argument.

yeah, i kinda already knew the hatton fight did better than the guerrero fight, thanks.

[bigsmoothh]

Floyd fan logic = Mayweather vs. Canelo did 2.2 million PPVs, Canelo vs. Angulo did 350,000 PPVs, so subtract 350,000 from 2.2 million and Floyd is responsible for 1,850,000 PPV buys.

350,000 is a GREAT number for Canelo. Looks like we have our next PPV star when Mayweather, Pacquiao, Cotto, and Marquez are gone within the next two years.

Who is Canelo's competition? Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.? Tim Bradley, ?

according to some people here canelos competition is lara, and rigo, lmfao....

[joseph5620]

dude, you tell me how many ppvs events floyd has fought in the cinco de mayo or sep weekend and compare them with the 2 that you mentioned. i also belive at the time a young jeff lacy and ponce deleon were on the undercard of the hatton fight. ask floyd why he went on and booked for may 3rd?lmfao....

if you believe either of those fighters were responsible for the Mayweather-Hatton ppv numbers, you're just flat out ******.
