Khan-Canelo did just under 600 K buys

[Boxfan83]

That's more than Pac-Bradley, more than Mayweather-Berto and GGG-Lemiux. Now next time put some respeck on Khan's name aka Mr 600K.

Per @GoldenBoyBoxing source, #CaneloKhan did slightly less than 600k HBO PPV buys, excellent for a fight most viewed as a mismatch. #boxing

Looks like @canelo @amirkingkhan did just under 600 k PPV buys...

As Floyd would say, Canelo won so the 600k or 580k belong to him, not Khan.

Khan's a pretty big name though right?

I wouldn't expect Canelo-Berto to do 500k maybe not even 300k.

Floyd-Khan would be atleast a million.

The days of Floyd pulling 1mil buys against anyone not named Manny or canelo are long gone bro. His ppvs were on the decline maidana didn't even reach 1m. Same for manny. And now that the lure of him fighting Manny is gone both guys have lost about half of their ppv drawing power see their last fights. Unless Manny or Floyd has another superstar draw with them none are reaching 1m buys again. This was khan first ppv I believe, he is not a superstar and was a massive 7 to 1 underdog against Floyd the ppv buys wouldn't be much different.

Dan Rafael is a shill.

If it was truly 600k, would HBO be labeling it "awful". 600k is pretty good

I'm not sure about Khan, his last fight in the US was on Spike TV.

Canelo done over 350,000 against Angulo, immediately after the Mayweather loss which is pretty impressive.

Mayweather is a big talker, he had the buys from people who liked and hated him, he was the biggest draw for many reasons. Canelo is relatively quiet, doesn't speak English (in public)...He sells on name and fight style alone and does really good numbers.

600k would put this a few 100k buys ahead of Manny and Floyd last ppvs. Damn good numbers for a mismatch basically stay busy fight. Anyone who says they thought this would do 900k like cotto who is a bigger star then khan and that was a virtual 50/50 fight. Khan was like a 7 to 1 and I think this was his first time headlining a ppv. Floyd berto per same Dan Rafael source did 400k and that fight literally cost 2 or 3x as much money to make.

What this tells me is canelo is the new cash cow him manny, Floyd, even ggg all last fought mismatches on ppv and canelo outsold all of them with his mismatch. But it also shows that the days of manny and Floyd fighting any bum and pulling 1m buys is long over. The numbers were falling for both manny and Floyd for years they cashed out finally fighting each other but their last fights both not even coming close to 500k. That's the new world we live in for ppvs.

Rafael used Glaser for Floyd number. You don't want the truth you want to protect HBO.

Khans last fight on Spike was the highest rated combat event on cable tv in 8 years, he has name value with the casuals.

Canelo stock may of rose after this fight with he casuals because of the knockout, his next fight will do just as good if not better

casuals love knockouts, he's being built in to a ppv star

his next fight will more than likely be against another WW

They want to make Canelo look like a beast /knock out artist

[Larry the boss]

you people get butthurt so easily

you people??

[Chuckguy]

So you are going to just pick the highest number you find?? we will never know the true numbers

See comments like this is what I don't get. Larry will take any number that makes Floyd look good but when it's anyone but Floyd he questions it

[FrankieBruno]

you people??

you idiot*
