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

[-Kev-]

I don't know how, there's been little promotion for this fight. Or have I just missed it? I can see 500-800k.

Manny-Marquez 3 did 1.4 if I remember

But Cotto-Canelo is supposed to get 1.5?

No way

[bigjavi973]

It will depend on how much hate cotto gets

[Rip Chudd]

My prediction is 650k ppv buys

I think the same, maybe topping at 675K

[Beercules]

Dammit Oscar just jynxed it

Aren't Hispanics the majority of boxing fans? So shouldn't this do 2 million or so buys? Or was Mayweather(black man) really carrying the match ups.

If this fight does not break 1mil then boxing is officially done. When a UFC mismatch with Ronda Rousey vs a no hoper sells more than a froid and pacquiao fight (separately) then it says a lot about the state that boxing is in. I really hope this fight sells well.

when was the last time froid sold 1mil ppv without canelo or pacquiao?

Anything over 400K is good to me. I don't know, I haven't seen any commercials, no one I know knows the date of the fight. Christmas is around the corner, May-pac sapped the market, may-berto took the rest and ggg did nothing. The ppv model may be taxed out at least for this year, and canelo-cotto may suffer for it.

I have a feeling this will hit 2mill mark
