does GGG vs Canelo break the 2 million PPV sales?

[UNBIASED BOXING]

People who are new to boxing don't realize how hard it is to sell PPVs. Floyd and Manny did over a million regularly, but those 2 are so much bigger than everyone else.

It's as simple as this, There's no fight right now that doesn't involve Floyd or Manny that does over a million buys, period.

Quite frankly, unless they are fighting each other, I don't think any fight with Floyd or Manny does over a million either.

I don't know.

Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury would be huge in the UK. I'd be willing to bet it could be a potentially massive fight in 1-2 years (assuming neither loses). AJ keeps gathering fame and Tyson Fury is at the top after beating Klitschko and becoming the #1 Heavyweight boxer currently.

Cotto/Canelo didn't break a million, so i'll go with hell no

I don't know how people can expect it to do better than Canelo vs Cotto when GGG is not nearly as popular as Cotto is. So I think same as Canelo vs Cotto, close to 1 Million if they do it right now. If they wait and build it up then it could do 1+ Million easily

Nobody in boxing right now getting a 2 million buyrate

No way. I'll do something around 500k-1 million. 850k would be my guess.

Let's say they fight on September 2016 with a stacked card.

-Main Event:Canelo vs Golovkin
-Co-Feature:Roman Gonzalez vs Juan Francisco Estrada
-Undercard:Luis Ortiz vs Andy Ruiz

No chance in hell. Canelo is not the star people think he is, and GGG.....well. There is no such thing as a stacked card, promoters are in the money making business and if they can get 3-4 shows, instead of a stacked card, they will.

I am hesitant to even say Canelo-GGG does 1 million.

It takes two. Canelo will carry it by himself, plus the 100k fans GGG brings.

Sure, I believe it could. The issue is that HBO needs to promote boxing across all of its channels. I mean, I have 6 HBO's in my cable package and they only advertise boxing on the channel that the fight will be aired on. I just think that they are leaving a lot on the table when they have the advertising talent to adequately incorporate across the entire platform and reach a very large group of viewers. This is of course provided the revenue from HBO boxing is warranted of the effort.
