Comments Thread For: GGG's Promoter: Anything Over 200K Buys is a Success

[Jsmooth9876]

I dont want to pay for it either. $60 for a fight I know GGG is going to knock this guy out in the first half. Id pay $20, thats about it. They need to make this crap more realistic. But at 1/3 of the cost they wouldnt get 3 times the buys so theyre banking on the most hardcore types to pay out the ass for this fight.

Not long ago $54.95 used to be the standard and we'd get the discounted fights at like 34.95.. Floyd and Manny did us in with the ridiculous 74.99 PPV events...

I'm going to the fight Saturday so I won't be purchasing it but I would if I were home.. Lemeiux has legit one punch KO power and Roman vs Viloria is a great little man fight for the co main... Anything could happen if Lemueix lands a bomb early on... I expect GGG to win but I think it's gonna be really exciting while it lasts...the same kind of stuff we used to watch Tyson fights for..

very low standards. this guys is suppose to be HBO's new cash cow. he does'nt deserve 50-50 with Ward. whenever he stops ducking is when he wants to make some real money. he is'nt fighting cotto nor alvared they are to small and the winner wants a retired mayweather jr

Was this supposed to be sarcasm? I legitimately cannot tell if you're serious? Lol


200k PPV buys is low and because of that GGG does not deserve 50/50 with Ward.

But how many PPV's would Ward sell? He just fought for free on BET.


Let that sink in for a second and reread the first part of your post.

They can always lie and say it did 1.2 million and the media will run with it. No questions asked. Learn from Schaefer doe.

Talk about setting the bar low.

That is a more REALISTIC Number compared to what I see some fans prediction. Anything over 150k is a success for this fight to be honest. Really no Buzz for it among Casuals and haven't seen Mainstream Media talk about it. I expected more promotion for it, maybe we will see more promotions for it this week since it is Fight Week. While Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith are both clueless when it comes to boxing, them talking about fights no question can help Buys!

Makes sense according the rumored guarantees.

Cant wait to this fight in person! MSS is gonna be rockin!

[SalimShady1212]

I think it'll do 400 k

Hell, Cotto and Canelo by themselves don't do that much more

And they are established PPV fighters. If this fight does 200,000 it's a game changer. 300,000 puts world on notice.

Cotto/Canelo will do well, but it has two stars, and a two nation rivalry.

very low standards. this guys is suppose to be HBO's new cash cow. he does'nt deserve 50-50 with Ward. whenever he stops ducking is when he wants to make some real money. he is'nt fighting cotto nor alvared they are to small and the winner wants a retired mayweather jr

Canelo rehydrates 5 pounds more than GGG. Cotto is MW champ, too bad if he is too small.

Funny how he say Canelo is too small for GGG hey rehydrates same size.

But GGG is ducking Ward.

That makes you a tool.

GGG is mandated for the belt Cotto/Canelo are fighting for. They vacate, that's a duck.

GGG gave Ward plenty of shots, he turned him down.

Then Ward tried, but GGG has other plans. That's not a duck, it's smart business.

Ward will never get 50/50 with GGG. Maybe 70/30. Wards desperate.

low standards simple and plain

It's his first PPV. Cotto's last did what, 300,000?

hes not a cash cow, someone like canelo is a new cash cow. anyways theyre being realistic which is nice. they know if they get 200k buys it will be more than profitable.

Canelo has had recent fights that have not done that much better, and he has been at it for awhile.

Talk about setting the bar low.

About normal, and just below Cotto and Canelo do when by themselves.

[turnedup]

I'm buying it, cause I don't want to hear no excuses when the winner of Canelo/Cotto has to fight either of these guys about how they aren't a draw. I hope this shhht does 2 to 3 times what they expect.
