In a fit of salty-ness, Espinoza drops Canelo's real PPV numbers

[Dinamita 03]

No it wasn't, he was talking about Canelo's past 2 PPV fights. Even if it was in reference to the Cotto number, it is a complete lie and just speaks to his lack of integrity which does nothing for his credibility.

In regards to Cotto/Martinez

Lou Dibella just told me 350 was never the real PPV sales number via DM.

Said 350 was an estimate and didn't want to contradict Arum or HBO

In regards to Cotto/Martinez

He didn't dispute it being Canelo's numbers, it was deleted because of the tag not that the numbers were wrong, or not even Canelo's.

Can't really be any clearer than this...

Industry sources say Alvarez generated 360,000 pay-per-view buys earlier this year against Alfredo Angulo, and around 325,000 buys vs. Erislandy Lara in July, a bout that competed against the World Cup.

“We’re proud of the work we did with ‘Canelo’ in establishing him as pay-per-view star,” Espinoza said. “I’ve heard Cotto’s fight with [Sergio] Martinez did 230,000 buys on HBO. If he thinks that’s a better route … ”

Edit:

And then Espinoza, the actual head of Showtime Boxing, not a press outlet is saying the number is 250k. Do you not understand they LIE about their numbers? The guy says it right here, this morning and you bring up old articles to defend a lie. Go figure he only released the number and didn't deny it when Canelo leaves the network. Be happy no one watched the Lara fight instead of mad about it, that would have lost fans not gained any.

No he's not you idiot....

You guys are all so ****ing ******.

He's comparing Cotto's #'s 230k and Canelos numbers 325k, because they are being set up to fight in May against May.

Get it?

I don't care for Espinoza. Guy probably isn't intellectual or qualified to be leading Showtime boxing, but all you ***ing ******s that buzz around this site eating up every lie on twitter you hear ****ing sicken me.

He's adding up Canelo's last two PPV numbers and comparing them to Floyd's latest one, get it? Can you not read the tweet where he confirms they were Canelo's and no one else? Damn, the Canelo fans are out in full force defending that fake PPV number, they actually thought people wanted to see the Lara fight?

I don't understand how your not getting this. He mentions three numbers in that articles, from 3 days ago by the way, and the numbers from his tweet match the Canelo/Lara fight and the Cotto/Martinez fight. It can't be any clearer.

By the way I'm furious the Lara fight didn't sell, I didn't get my cut due to the low numbers

I see... so you believe Arum then when he says a Floyd fight does 600k? Cotto/Martinez did 375k he's just trying to spin it to make it look good. I mean he was talking about making Canelo/Kirkland but scoffs at a Cotto fight because it only did "230k" How much did Kirkland make in his last PPV headlining event?
