Anybody else think it's a bad idea for a July 12 PPV for Canelo?

[US Dirk Killer]

canelo made 8 million on the angulo ppv..

8 million for that? Showtime gonna go broke

[icha]

soccer, boxing, carne asada and lots of beer sounds like a party to me... it will be a great saturday, just hoping to be sober by the time the fight starts...

showtime made around 10 or 12...

He got 350k against Angulo with no competition the same day.

Lara is no Angulo.

Mix that in with the Fifa third place game in.... good luck with that.

Watch, people will say they did pretty good considering Fifa was same day

His draw 'power' is exaggerated you don't generate 2.2 million ppvs and 5 months later flop @350k. The only fans he's fooling are his own they captured his image as the one in the Mayweather fight and were sold the dream. On the non ppv side he wasn't impressive as expected either Cotto vs Trout peaked at 1.4mil viewers while Canelo vs Trout peaked shy of a million and that's with Trout riding off the Cotto win. Decent ratings but again not start sweeping numbers like some have rant before the fight.

Canelo doesn't have a break through fight. Mayweather could've been that, but looks like he'll be starting from scratch.

He could be on Manny or Mayweather's level one day, breaking a million every fight regardless of who he fights.... but who knows.

350k against Angulo was decent, some name recognition there.

Sergio Mora and Javier Fortuna will be fighting on HBO Latino on May 31st as well. How the **** they going to show all of that?

Plus Canelo's base pay for the Angulo fight was like 1.5 million, not a lot of risk there. I wonder if he gets a better guarantee or if he is still working on you get paid a ton on the up side plan.

If GBP has him on a similar deal I could see why they would just roll the dice because chances are they don't lose.

you put cotto vs angulo both coming off a loss on non mexican date without a good undercard and wont even reach 300k...

Why would Cotto fight a guy coming off a loss by way of thumb in the eye excuse In the first place?
