    Biggest PPV Flops

    Canelo Alverez's next fight looks to be on its way to a flop against liam smith. In part because i believe the general public want to see Canelo and GGG and not Liam Smith.

    SO in honor of this fight, What are your most memorable PPV Flops that you have witnessed in history. and by Flops i mean sales and not the actual fight (So no mayweather and Pacman don't count)

      I was actually kind of suprised but not that GGG-Lemiuex only sold 150k. The Venue (MSG) was sold out, A-List Celebrities were in attendance and GGG is a knockout artist which this sport hasn't really had in awhile but at the sametime Lemiuex isn't really known to the world. and I knew Crawford-Postal would flop as soon as they announced it. Don't know why Bob Arum thought that was a good idea.

            Not surprised. Guess that's enough to cover the fighter's purses depending on how much they made. They got my 50 bucks though, good fight

                Anyone who's saying TC vs Postol or GGG vs Davey L. don't know **** about PPV. In recent fights the clear biggest flop is Manny vs Tim III which lost $10 million for Top Rank. They didn't even spend $10M on TC vs Postol or GGG vs Davey L.

                  Floyd vs Berto.

                  Went from 4.6 million + against Pacquiao to one of the worst buyrates of his entire career in a matter of months.
