Canelo/Khan: HBO not releasing "awful" numbers. Glaser: 322k is the number! PPV Dead?

[bigjavi973]

Cotto in his first PPV = 60k

you mean a CLOSED CIRCUIT PPV that wasn't backed by any network? Also hbo had a hopkins ppv if I remember correctly that same night. Cotto's 1st ppv that was backed by HBO did 225k buys. Way more than lilg.

[Larry the boss]

Canelo, the face of boxing, so called biggest star in the sport doing 332k against a very well known fighter.

GGG in his first PPV against a pretty unknown canadian fighter does 150k

Cotto in his first PPV = 60k

Cotto vs Canelo = 900k

I'd say it doesn't look too bad for GGG when you put it like that.

This thread isn't about haters like you though.

It's about the landscape of boxing and if this actually helps making the fights the fans want to see.

That cotto ppv was not a HBo ppv it was closed circuit event..

Glaser puts up a poll on his FB page and based on that estimate how well a ppv does.

In your sig, is Brook even getting hit on the chin? Looks like a temple shot.

[HanzGruber]

So you agree with Glasers Canelo-Khan number but not his Lil G-Lemieux number?

this.. op you cant discredit glasers GGG # then say this fight did 300k

[The plunger man]

Considering the amount of hoopla that was done by goldenboy and all the talk that canelo was the new face of boxing 570k is not a great deal and it certianly didn't light the boxing ppv market up..... PPV in boxing is dying and fighters that are making 12 million dollars a fight that actually don't deserve that kind of purse ..I think it's been bled dry by bad matchmaking and over priced events, America pay far to much for ppv event compared with us in the UK...30 dollars maximum compared with $60 in the states....do the maths

[MENTION]Denium where are you lol[/MENTION]

[krazyn8tive]

Wait wait wait...did glaser just pwn himself?

[No-mas-tias]

Why pay for this BS fight....I saw it on my phone through an app.

People are going to stream BS PPV fights that are not worth paying for...Crawford/Postol is the next PPV stream

If they did 320 than this is a good number considering total mismatch/no contest. Khan drawing power in US is... 30-50k ppv buys? I may be wrong here but I don't think that Khan added much to the table.

If they did 500k + than it's a huge success and it proves that Canelo is actually a PPV star. Don't be mislead by Pac vs May numbers - those are not indicative. 2nd and 3d biggest PPV attractions sell 900k (Canelo/Cotto) and on paper it was competetive. I think that if GGG/Canelo makes more than 750-800k than it will be huge. It's competetive only on paper (at list 50% of potential buyers know that Canelo is no match to GGG) and GGG is not a PPV draw yet.
