generated about 23million Khan got 13 Canelo got more and HBO got 50% off the top. How are you guys saying these are good numbers? If they were so good why did Oscar lie and say 600K?

[Progrssive_Jedi]

otherwise his legacy will be ducking his greatest challenge, Andre Ward.

GGG offered Ward a fight, he turned it down. Ward later offered GGG a contract to sit around for a year or so waiting for Ward to get ready. You can't duck a guy from two divisions north of you.

Wrong. GGG-Lemieux expectations were 200k+ and did 97k, or 150k depending on if you trust unreliable sources or not.

Canelo-Khan expectations were right around where it hit. Pull up that thread that someone made a few months ago on NSB and look at the poll yourself. If I remember correctly even I voted within this particular bracket.

Wait, so you use Glaser's numbers for GGG, but then ignore his numbers for Canelo.

So Canelo does 200k more than GGG-after being on two if the largest ever ppv, and being in what a half of dozen of them.

Yes, apt comparison.

Instead of using polls on boxingscene or promoters talking, how about a reliable article. How about hm.. is Sports Illustrated reliable enough for you?

Funny part is they only apply glaser to GGG ppv numbers, not to Canelo and Floyd. If they trust Glaser for GGG, then they should use them for others too.

Either way, Canelo only did 200-300k more than GGG in a time he's supposed to be the top ppv star.

It was GGG first ppv fight.

i don't understand why everyone is making khan out to be some un known fighter as if most people don't remember when he was with roach and pacquiao for a good portion of roaches best years as a trainer

[Left2theliver]

Well it's not the **** show that I was expecting, based on Steve Kim's tweets, but it's definitely not the numbers that I was expecting either. I'm sure it didn't help that no one asked for this fight, but maybe everyone overestimated how big of a star Canelo really is. But then again, from what I understand, Mayweather/Berto only drew 400k-550k buys too. So I guess, as big of a star as a fighter is, it just comes down to putting on fights that we care about and want. I was expecting a more sales, because I thought that Khan and Canelo were big in their respective countries, which may have a trickle down effect. But I guess not.

So yeah, you can keep using Glaser, or boxingscene polls, or promoters words (let's not forget that Oscar predicted 1m+ buys.

Only in your little dream world is predicting 1m and getting 460k equal "right about where it hit". I'm sure asking you to incorporate the idea of fighters' purses into whether or not a PPV is a success is an exercise in futility as well.


You can continue to b1tch about Golovkin and coming up with more and more bull**** to suit your agenda. It wont change facts.

Oscar can predict all he wants, he's a promoter, he's supposed to inflate the numbers. But the majority of boxing fans had picked the 400k-500k bracket, and guess what, they were right on target. And the 500k-600k bracket was the 2nd choice. That shows that it hit right about where most boxing fans and pundits had initially thought it would. I couldn't care less about what Sports Illustrated thinks.
