GGG was a bigger favorite than Wlad. is vs Fury, by the bookies.
I think GGG was 1.04.
The card was good on paper, it was actually nothing but mismatches.
Too bad.Comment

You sure?
I thought it was regular HBO. But I just looked it up and it was PPV. I don't remember buying it but i watched it at home. I remember that.
Anyways that fight was not a huge PPV build like this one. At that point in Margaritos career and at this point in Canelos career. Canelo has the overwhelmingly bigger fanbase and I stated why in my first reply to you. Plus cotto is enjoying a resurgence in his career so combine that with Canelos star power(canelo and mayweather did 2.4 million, while at the time Floyd was doing 1 million buys with fights with maidana, Guerrero and Ortiz) it will do way better than Cotto-Margarito 1.Comment

I guess it depends on how wrapped up you were in the fight because I always thought the first Cotto Margarito fight had a HUGE build up, there was such an awesome buzz leading up to it. Felt like a mini hagler hearns type of fight to be, but then again I was heavily invested in it and watched all the videos, interviews, read all the articles.Comment

I'd be willing to put money on it that this fight doesn't do a million LOL. I see this fight more in the 750,000-950,000 range with maybe an outside shot at cracking a million. Great matchup that I'm highly looking forward to (I'll be at the fight) so hope I'm wrong but don't see north of a million buys and no way in in hell see the 2 million buys De La Hoya is talking about...Comment

It's possible.
Canelo vs Lara did 300k. Canelo vs Angulo did 350k. Cotto vs Martinez did 350k. These fights did not have a lot of buzz. Cotto vs Martinez had the DLH-Pac effect, people didn't buy it because they thought it was a mismatch in Martinez's favor. Cotto vs Margarito 2 did better than the first, 600k. Cotto vs Canelo can do great numbers like 700-900k, but it is possible that it gets up to 1 million. Though the promotion can definitely be better.Comment
