this will be 1mill buys once all the numbers in canelo is the next big star he will be begging cotto for a rematch to make big money again

[youbeight]

Canelo just utterly destroyed Fraud Pedcheater Jr in ratings! Now he's only second to Manny Pacquiao for the biggest PPV draw in on the scene. Mayweather Berto did 450k I think so that means the other 3.9 million PPV of Pac vs Ped has to be credited to Pacquiao.

LOL thanks for giving me the best laugh of my day.

650k vs 97K or

900k vs 150k or

650k vs 150K or

900k vs 97k

...now GGG and Canelo fans... do your thing...

Golovkin fans are gonna have to accept that if the fight is gonna get done, golovkin is gonna have to give some things up. Even if its not weright, hes probably gonna have to take a flat fee and give most, if not all of the ppv upside to Canelo. Canel has 3 ppvs under his belt. golovkin has 1 and each and every one of canelo's ppvs have outsold golovkin's considerably no matter how you look at it. Canelo bring is the money and he knows it.

Good numbers......If they're actually true.....Of course having the right dance partner is the key to big ppv numbers so I think Canelo can only match or exceed these numbers with Golovkin...

[ShoulderRoll]

Those are great numbers, good for boxing to see so many people buying PPV here towards the end of 2015.

So.. when Golden Boy and RN quote PPVs, they're just selling the fight. But when K2 does the same, they must be held to that standard even though their fighter has never been on PPV?

Miguel Cotto vs. Canelo Alvarez purses: Cotto $15 million, Canelo $5 million

Foreign fighters purses are routinely paid less "on paper" in US and receive more on back end to pay less US taxes. One obvious example is this amount doesn't include his Azteca $$$ plus their ppv upsides

[HURTFEELINGS]

Now we all can agree, Canelo is the A+ side when lil g tries to negotiate...but look at these fools try to argue otherwise. OR he can go and accept his belt during a business meeting, it'll probably approach his ppv #'s

I understand what your saying and I agree 100%. But GGG has a lot to gain by fighting canelo is his own bs 155 division. Look at it this way, if GGG goes down to 155 and beats Canelo (which will do good ppv numbers) he can call out Mayweather from there. He can be like "look I made the weight no problem". People already want froid to fight golovkin. Theres not much interest for froid to fight anybody else even if it is his 50th fight

No ****ing way Mayweather would be interested in fighting GGG.

And no ****ing way GGG would accept a 155 CW against Canelo. Canelo was asking Cotto a 156 catchweight for the fight and Cotto forced him to 155. This because Canelo was optional. GGG IS NOT optional, he's mandatory. His opinion matters in the negotiations. Canelo was already asking for 156... he won't get away with 155 remember my word.

Great for them. That's much better than I thought they'd do and I'm now wondering if such successes has them thinking about doing the rematch.
