Rick Glaser: Canelo/Lara did 275-300k

[SlySlickSmooth]

Not sure how many casuals/Canelo fans knew who Lara was. Under 300k is a bit underperforming for a fight of this caliber for the consensus #1 at 154 not named Mayweather.


Its alright numbers, but Canelo is supposedly supposed to be the #3 highest draw.

[Hougigo]

They couldn't of picked a worse weekend because it went up against the World Cup

These are good numbers if you factor that in

Wasn't the world cup done way before it started though?

2 things:

1.Opponent
2.Too many PPVs

If he fights Kirkland... it'll do better, but around the same range...the 300k

[El Angel]

The main event featured Erislandy Lara. No disrespect at all to Landy, but he isn't popular or very entertaining.

Those really aren't too bad. Especially since we've had so many back to back this year.

[HanzGruber]

Isn't that the guy whose always wrong

Dude, you brought this same argument before for something else. World Cup was done way before the event started.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

If true, that is some weak numbers for such a dangerous matchup.. Angulo fight did better than that

The Saturday that the Canelo fight was on was the same day that Brazil lost against the Netherlands for the #3 place

The next day was the World Cup Final between Argentina and Germany

I agree that there were other factors involved like the ones you bought up

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Hell when morales fought zahir, and manny fought hector, it did better numbers..

Even Floyd pre-oscar was doing better numbers vs baldomir..

If numbers are true, then it looks bad for Canelo's drawing power

Now explain to us how this affects PPV numbers.

How is that possible? Unless they showed the World Cup Final in America on a delay?

I remember working during the Brazil vs Netherlands game but checking it on my phone on saturday afternoon, watching the Canelo fight Saturday night and then waking up Sunday afternoon and watching the World Cup final.
