PPV early results: Canelo-Cotto 550,000, Rousey 750,000

[Ryn0]

One thing is for sure, Rousey lost her fight and thus her PPV numbers have peaked. She will likely never reach those viewership figures ever again.

While Canelo won his fight and thus can expect to get even more viewers for his next PPV.

One is trending upwards and has a bright future while the other has to rebuild but might not be able to regain what was lost.

I guarantee the rematch between Ronda-Holm will do more than the 1 million than UFC 193 just did. Dana White will market the hell out of it just in case that's the last drop he can squeeze out of Ronda.

If Ronda loses the rematch then yeah, her PPV numbers will start to drop.

No #CottoCanelo PPV figs yet. Will be few days but based on early satellite numbers, source involved told me it's a lock to do at least 900k

Really? If you look closely, UFC's announcement didn't say "U.S." or "domestic" PPV buys...

If you don't think a big UFC fight - one of the biggest in recent memory - can generate 250K PPV buys outside N. America, then you don't know jack about PPV.

My sources are telling me you are full ****. They would only get those sort of numbers when GSP fought, and he was a homegrown hero for those buying.

I got actual numbers for both PPVs from non-HBO and non-UFC sources.

HBO was saying Canelo-Cotto did 900,000 starting on Saturday night - but no numbers are available on Saturday night.

HBO PR people are out in full force.

Dude, coming to this site without backup or corroborating evidence is like walking into a whorehouse without a condom. You're practically inhaling VD before you walk in the doors of those places.....

Right...because Rafael has "corroborating evidence"...the always-credible, unimpeachable "anonymous source."

Rafael couldn't have gotten corroborating evidence, because as of Monday morning, NO EVIDENCE EXISTS.

His anonymous source had to be either the promoters or HBO, neither of which can be relied upon for accurate, truthful info.

My prediction is that HBO will not make any official announcement of 900K, because corporations aren't allowed to misrepresent financial info...so instead they will try to get gullible writers to quote them as "anonymous sources" without a shred of fact-checking.

Unless HBO announces 900K, I won't believe it.

Just like a lot of people didn't believe Showtime's numbers when they didn't do an official release.

Rafael isn't always right, I'll give you that, but we can see his face and he has a reputation that can be accessed through the internet. While you on the other hand, are anonymous, faceless and apparently obtuse enough to believe people will take your word for it just because you say so. Do you not understand how what you're saying is different than a known boxing journalist?

It's all about the source dude, and you have nothing to enhance your words except your birthday suit, sorry but that's isn't enough.....
