I guess this means Canelo-Clottey on PPV

He ain't fighting cotto?

[AgainstTheRopes]

Good number. What was Chavez Jr's ratings for his last couple HBO bouts?

[BOXEO _]

They would have easily done 3 million if that boring ass May/Pac replay wasn't on there.

[Rustyjaguar]

Canelo's going to fight Clottey before Cotto?

Sure as hell hope not. Make the Canelo-Cotto fight for Mexican independence day weekend. Put GGG- Andy lee or Qullin for the weekend follwing and then Set Up Canelo-GGG for Cinco De mAYO 2016. Screw Floyd. He doesn't own those dates. He doesn't fight enough to Put his name on those dates.

Lol for we all know that may/pac fight probably helped the canelo fight

People were saying Clottey was on the undercard for a reason. Canelo wanted to fight three times last year so I wouldn't be surprised to see him fight 3 times this year.

If the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao were more action packed, that canelo kirkland fight would have done at least 4 million viewers, the casuals didn't carry over much. How many views did the replay do for the Pac May fight? im thinking after that some casuals just turned it off and didnt bother to watch the canelo fight?

How much of that was retention from the Floyd-Pac replay? What were the numbers for the competing replay on HBO and Showtime?

I'm curious to know how much the replay of the May/Pac fight contributed to that. Props to Alvarez none-the-less, he had a much more exciting fight.

Nice numbers. Everyone knew it was going to be a slugfest for as long as it lasts, so I know a lot of casuals that I know were tuning in. I didn't even have to remind them, they just knew from minor promotion.

[bojangles1987]

That's awesome. Alvarez is a superstar.
