So GGGoat blew away all PPv debut expectations, just another day in the life

97K wasn't what anyone expected, they expected at the very least double that. Little G not as popular as people thought.

K2 and HBO - they should keep doing the work they are doing for GREAT G.

G vs Quillin/Jacobs winner is a PPV fight, hot and extremely big.
G vs Froch is a definitely big dual-PPV (US/UK) fight (if Carl decides to fight).
G vs Canelo
G vs Cotto

Do you realize that Cotto-Malignaggi was a Top Rank Closed Circuit PPV not an HBO ppv?

"It's a big problem," Greenburg continues. "It's getting harder and harder to put fighters like Manny Pacquiao on HBO World Championship Boxing. If Floyd Mayweather beats Oscar, he might never fight on HBO World Championship Boxing again. But if HBO stopped doing pay-per-view, the promoters would simply do it on their own [like Bob Arum did with Cotto-Malignaggi in June 2006] or find someone else who will do it for them."

Then, in 2006, Arum matched Cotto against Paulie Malignaggi, only to learn that HBO was planning a pay-per-view telecast of Bernard Hopkins versus Antonio Tarver from Atlantic City on the same night.

Cotto's 1st HBO PPV was vs Judah and that did 225K+ buys.

All those numbers were pre social media! Where back there the promotions was really word of mouth.

Great find brother.

There are plenty of factors in this PPV's extremely subpar numbers, no American or Latino involved, it was in between two other PPV fights involving bigger names in a 10 wk window, it being both fighters PPV debut & it not being perceived as a competitive fight.

Its a ****ty result, but I think they will see much better results next time around (kinda have to be better with numbers this low lol) just due to a couple of the above mentioned factors not being involved with the likely next PPV fight.

How much time did it take to find this? Anyway point taken. For his first PPV, against a relative unknown, GGG did well. However not well enough to really have Cotto or Canelo feel they have to face him immediately.

I'd like the winner of Cotto/Canelo fight the winner of Saunders/Lee and the winner of that can fight the winner of GGG/Quillin or Jacobs. Assuming the Cotto/Canelo winner beats Saunders/Lee, which I believe will happen and GGG beats Jacobs/Quillin which I also believe will happen then it will provide the hype and anticipation the fight deserves. GGG vs Canelo/Cotto is a huge fight and it deserves the hype and excitement of one.

The fight should be made immediately, it blows my mind when fans want great fights to be put off so they can build the hype. All this build the fight **** is why these fights usually end up not happening. When the fights hot, make it.

What do the PPV numbers have to do with Cotto or Canelo feeling like they shouldn't face him now anyway? Its the fight to be made at middleweight and its been ordered by the WBC so the winner will either face GGG or be stripped. If the winner refuses to fight him and gets stripped for it they will be just like Bowe throwing his belt in the trash rather than fighting Lennox Lewis, that's a terrible look for a boxer, basically saying " I cant beat you so just take my belt".

I actually like Cotto and Canelo so id hate to see the winner pull that **** after their fight.
