Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya has very high expectations for a potential fight between WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32 KOs) and former junior middleweight champ Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (44-1-1, 32 KOs).

Last September, Canelo's PPV with Floyd Mayweather Jr. topped 2.2 million buys on Showtime. De La Hoya has since moved Canelo over to HBO, with a May fight against Cotto as the primary target for 2015. De La Hoya expects a number around the 2 million mark for Canelo vs. Cotto.

Depends on the price imo. If you keep it reasonable given where both are at right now-say $39.99- $49.99, I think it can do 1 mil or so.

It's going to be hard to get casual US sports fans to buy this fight.

[Reginald Ledoux]

I think it'll sell 1.5 million. Somewhere around there, Floyd will most likely fight in September

TBE has no choice but to give up that date. His numbers have been dwindling. People behind him even have to concoct numbers to save face.

It won't even do a million.. Neither one of them do big numbers when they're the draw.. Sure you'll have a gang of puerto ricans and Mexicans buying the fight but the hardcore & casual fans that come from the black and white demographic won't be into it as much and that's where the drop off occurs.. A lot of people think Canelo is trash because of how mayweather did him and cotto beating Martinez is only impressive to hardcore boxing fans..

Oscar vs Canelo will do 2 mil PPV

[Golden Boi 360]

Fights does over 1 million. When they headline by themselves they might not get big numbers but put them together and you get something special, like PB and Jelly.

I hope he's not serious

You're over estimating the American public's interest in this fight. This is no oscar vs Tito. I doubt this does over 600k.

I see a million being its peak.
