Comments Thread For: Canelo-Khan PPV Buys: Multiple Sources Point To 460,000

Therefore they sold it in the U.S.... but not in Mexico as well?

Not sure if the fight was PPV in mexico, to be honest with you i doubt countries like the Phillipines, mexico and other developing countries can afford to sell fights as PPV. Only countries like England, America, Australia and other westernise countries might be willing to exploit boxing fans in that way.

Isn't he of pakistani origin? And how would people from the middle east or asia by an american PPV? This is an american PPV.

Well that's what I've been saying

Khan has gone on about it for years though.

Same way they buy the EPL, NFL, etc - cable companies are global

I have lived in the Middle East for years and we have the opportunity to buy all the big fights.

Ain't that the truth.

Lol I really don't get it.


This fight were perceived as a mismatch.


These types of numbers should be expected

Pigeon I think the time of ppv is about to end...it's been used up and people are tired of getting ripped off.....they could have made it $20 dollars and probably it would attract 2 million buys every time , .but $60 dollars is a lot...when a big fight happens in the uk we have two options if it's sky sports box office ...it's $30 maximum and you have boxnation which is $16 dollars a month....I've seen ward,golovkin,canelo,fury,postol,Crawford,pacquaio and every big fight there is....but the states seem like ur hpgetting ripped off money wise

$30 is a good price

Really ?

I know nothing about PPV numbers and such, but aren't those figures basically the same as Pac/Rios, and I think Algieri, which were considered a flop?

I would say that GBP are disappointed with those numbers, they seem low?

I guessed 500-600k.

Fk'd if I know.

Well considering the fact that they didn't likely have the rights to sell this one as a PPV also in Britain I think that'd be the reason why the numbers aren't higher.

People in Britain would have paid to see this.

nope 90/10 take it or kick rocks.

That means lil Camelo will have to lose his belt

[MrRolltide91]

That's a completely different argument altogether. It speak to 1) the absolute ****hole boxing currently resides in in this county and 2) the ludicrous premise that I must pay $60-70 to watch two guys fight each other when HBO and SHO already cost $10-20/month each.

The other mainstream sports doesn't have to worry about ppv.


that's a good thing

You sound like an emotional f@ggt

Again, the expected response from a complete and utter moron. It's always the weakest mofo's offline who love talking shhh online. Keep pulling your own skirt son.
