Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Confident Cotto-Canelo Sells 1.5 Million PPVs

*cough*bullshyt*cough* I think that's a beautiful dream but I would be happy if it did $600k, and I'm not entirely sure if it will reach that.

It will do over 1million buys that's for sure! PR vs. Mexico!!!

[-PBP-]

I'm thinking 500ish

I don't know if it will do 1.5 million but it should be a successful PPV. The Mexican fan base supports their boxers like no other.

They didn't overwhelmingly support Canelo vs Lara or Angulo. For all his star power, he's pretty inactive and his close wins over Lara & Trout and loss to Mayweather didn't exactly create a hero. He hasn't really had that exciting war yet that alot of other Mexican icons have been known for. Hopefully this fight fixes that.

Yeah they do vs Floyd. They seemed to not care Marquez,Barrera,Morales or Canelo any other time with Oscar being the exception to the rule.

I wish people stop using the PR vs Mexico dumb ass rhetoric why this fight will sell. Tito vs Oscar is the only fight like that sell great numbers and that was 16 years ago.

Hope they don't make the guaranties based in that number.

That is setting the bar extra high, it could do very well and not get all that close to that.

Good luck to them though, the will need it.

If they need 1.5M to make a profit, they are going to suffer some major losses on this fight. I think 750K would be a giant accomplishment.

Those weren't PPVs.
