Canelo v Khan - PPV Buys Prediction Thread

[El-blanco]

400k US, idk about the UK. This isn't really a big fight IMO.

Around 350k in the US is my guess. I don't think khan is nearly as big here as people make him out to be. He gets pretty solid ratings on network TV but I don't think that translates to big PPV star.

I could be way off though. Canelo is a big star and Khan is somewhat of a name so casuals who like Canelo but don't follow the sport might say to themselves "Khan...I've heard that name before must be a great fight!" and order it.

I agree. I just think once people find out what a sideshow it is, it might peak interest. If they can sell it as a trainwreck I think it might increase buys. Otherwise on its surface this isn't a good fight and khan isn't that popular.

This poll should have opened with much lower number options. 600K already seems like a reach to me.

All these boxing stars Cotto, Pacquiao, Floyd, Canelo make around 350k ppvs unless they face other big stars.
canelo vs Floyd: 2,2 m
canelo vs Cotto: 900 k
canelo vs Angulo: 350 k

Canelo is able to make 350 k ppvs himself, considering that Khan is a ******, I don't think that the British people will be so eager to pay for watching him.

And some wtf and interesting ones:
GGG vs Lemineux: 150 k
Pac vs JJM 4: 1,15 m
Pac vs Algieri: 350 k

Please I have an obvious question.

This fights are PPV because is the only way to pay boxers such a high purse?

Thanks in advance.

I voted one mill, but I think it will be anywhere from 850K-1M.

I guess somewhere between 500,000-600,000 US buys. Kahn is certainly a bigger name than Lara or El Perro (those fights did around 350,000), but nowhere near as big as Cotto (who's fight did around 900,000).
