Khan-Canelo did just under 600 K buys

[LacedUp]

lol I remember all the Khan fans saying it would do better than Cotto, Khan and Canelo are both superstars etc Absolutely ridiculous.

Below 600k is an extremely average number, especially considering that both got paid handsomely. If 600k is boxing's 'super fight' the standards have lowered.

It just proves that neither Khan or Canelo, but mainly Khan, don't have the pull power that he thinks he does.

And of course we all know the numbers are closer to 400k than 600.

Khan brings more to the PPV table than Bradley, a guy heavily promoted by TR. Damn boy. All that while not even being American or thought as having a chance to beat Canelo.

Good stuff.

It was perceived as a mismatch though.

So are loads of fights especially those of Pacquaio and Mayweather's over the years.

Canelo's a big name and Khan's a big name I expected a lot better numbers. I guess I overestimated Khan's drawing ability.

Easy to tell peoples' agendas by the numbers they quote. Canelo fans will quote 600k ... his haters will quote 300k.

real number is obviously somewhere in between.

Same as GGG haters quote 97k and fans quote 150k.


either way PPV has taken a huge hit since May Pac.

How do you figure that? Canelo/Khan was at least a fresh match, whereas Pac/Bradley III was a tired match-up that no on was clamoring to see.

People need to stop acting like PPV buys are some exact science that will tell you who the bigger draw(s) are each and every time. With the megastars like Floyd, sure, but numbers fluctuate based on a number of things. Also, people need to stfu about GGG's low PPV numbers, it was his first-ever PPV fight for ****'s sake...

[gmc_rfc_06]

Cashnelo indeed.

Close to 600k for a mismatch, better than Mayweather and Pac's latest fights.

[NEETzsche]

that's about 100k more than i expected

btw is there ANY reason to believe glaser's numbers? seems like he just pulls them out of his arse and they get spread because they confirm certain people's prejudices or agendas

[PrBoxing88]

I though Oscar said this figh was bigger than Cotto vs Canelo LMAO

Hey, Glaser said the fight did 332k. If Glaser was so accurate with GGG's 97k, why don't you trust his numbers now? You're all a bunch of hypocrites, unable to see double standards and busy contributing to the death of boxing.

Who said glaser was ever accurate source? Same clown said canelo cotto only did 600k when it really did 900k so don't lump in a few ggg haters with canelo fans. Most fans I've seen on both sides have said glaser is full of crap and just making this stuff up long before today.
