[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

From the moment the fight was announced, the November 21 showdown between Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Miguel Cotto was one that fight fans recognized as the centerpiece of the 4th quarter boxing schedule.

Confirmation of that level of interest came in the HBO Pay-Per-View results, with the network reporting on Thursday that the telecast sold 900,000 units.

Canelo is the new A side everyone needs to bow down

[Pigeons]

Higher than I expected (~750K), but not great.

[chaposinaloa]

Anyone know the gate number ?

[theocdog]

Thats pretty good. I was expecting a lower number cuz there seemed to be little buzz the month before the fight. Still good numbers and I'm sure they will keep growing.

[Teetotaler]

That's a low number. Boxing in general needed 1mil. It did like 50k less than the rousey mismatch(as it was presumed at the time). That's also with two big names! I can't see how canelo keeps these numbers up considering Cotto was the biggest name out there for him at moment. As much as we want GGG-canelo, its clear they wont pull in more numbers than this.

Better than expected. Not bad at all. But a far cry from Oscar's crazy predictions.

[Mr. Philadel]

that means Lil G better get used to eating like this if he wanna shot
