Comments Thread For: Canelo-Cotto PPV Pulls in 900K Viewers, $58M in Revenue

[The Problem Child]

It will do around 900K, should pull in around $58 M in revenue.

I made a perfect prediction again.

its def a good number to make profit from. i think at 1.5-2mill + they would have doubled the fight night purse in ppv profit for both promotional companies so this number was good, at 650k it would have been bad IMO and made almost no profit for them.

All roads lead to a retired 147lber

If you think he's really retired then your one of the sheep that really thinks he doesn't watch boxing and believe whatever nonsense he says

Just stop those comments from Golden Boy and Roc were just to sell the fight. Those were never realistic bench marks for success. 900k is a huge number double what Floyd just did his last fight. And the fighter split was not 75/25. Cotto got slightly higher percent and then RECEIVED a bonus payout from Roc Nation based on the contract he signed with them. I believe it was reported as 5mil. Meaning Roc Nation operated at a loss and paid him extra money out of their own pocket. Roc Nation was the biggest loser they over paid to sign Cotto hoping he could jump start their promotions and beat Canelo and get a even bigger fight with Floyd. Not only did he lose they have no chance of recouping all the money they gave him when they signed him and they signed Rigo and put him on the undercard and he stunk up the joint and probably wont get another TV date because of it. Combined with the terrible concert Roc Nation forced on the PPV they just came across as amateur and not ready for the big times.

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?

Golovkin's PPV bombed. Deal with it.

Nh, you can't trick me. 650k it is.

And now you can walk around today with your head down because a guy you don't know sold 10x more than your boyfriend (who you also don't know).

LOL #rekt

You would think he was Loeffler himself the way he spends time defending GGG on here.

Indeed. Barcham the sequel.

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.
