Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Almost 40,000 Tickets Sold For Canelo vs. Smith

[A.K]

Was a bigger name? Already has sold more tickets then Manny did at Cowboy stadium in his prime. And is on pace to sell 50k. I can do this all day whatever you think GGG is doing Canelo is literally doing that X4. GGG just drew ONLY 800k viewers on HBO. Less then he drew at the same time of day last year against Murray. GGG is not a draw which is why HBO won't give him anymore PPVs unless he fights Canelo. Meanwhile HBO keeps giving Canelo PPV dates before he even choose a fighter not named GGG. Come back to reality a few GGG fanboys are crying and trolling online and clearly it's not having the effect you idiots think it is.

yeah lets forget its during the afternoon and ufc also had a event nice one , oscar is buying half the tickets i know that stadium will look empty and funny how its in texas canelo wouldnt go to the uk to spar like ggg just did. What you gonna say when the ppv flops tho that he should fight rosado? how many excuses do yall have to avoid this man? just make the fight happen and get it over with already its that simple.

Bigdunny takes these boys to school.
Outside the NSB bubble most people have never heard of GGG.

Murray fight was in the afternoon tool you idiot and he drew more viewers. Fury fought in the afternoon last Dec and drew over 1mil viewers. And the UFC didn't start till night time long after the fight was over you idiot. Canelo don't need to go to the UK to be a UK fighters B side because he is the A side you dummy. GGG has to do that because he can't draw crowds and get on PPV with HBO. Please try again this is so fun making you look like a fool. What's the next excuse you gonna use because GGG can't draw the crowds Canelo does , the ratings canelo does, the ppvs canelo does. At what point do you just throw in the towel and admit Canelo is on another level then GGG.

Why do fans care how much their fighter makes or sells? Is that really what this about? I am for seeing who the best fighters are but I guess some of you watch boxing to see who can sell the most seats. I see 40K idiots wasting their money on a fighter who will milk them for everything they are worth. If you would throw money on this card Golden Boy and Canelo can sell you anything.

EXACTLY. What more evidence do you need to see that GGG is just known and dyck rode by a small segment of hard core boxing fans. GGG has the worst and most insecure fans I have ever seen. You guys are persistent delusional but persistent. But it falls on deaf ears because Canelo's fanbase dwarfs you guys and has cross over casuals that don't come on these boards or care about half the shyt we talk about. I saw literally a million posts as these GGG fanboys spammed up these boards leading up to his PPV with Lemiuex. Yet he only drew 100K PPVs. All this talk about how big his fight with Brook was but only drew 800k viewers on HBO because this shyt here don't translate in the real world. Canelo has real fans not trolls on a message board.

We bringing this up because it was GGG fans who trolled and said this fight wouldn't sell. But I get it now that you guys were proven wrong now lets beat the drum of who cares about sales. GGG fans cared about PPVs UNTIL GGG flopped on PPV. Then PPVs don't matter. They cared about HBO ratings UNTIL he drew 800k on HBO. They were the ones to scream this fight wouldn't sell any tickets UNTIL Canelo sells 40K.

And you want to talk about milking who has GGG been fighting his entire career? He milking his small fanbase with fights against bums like Wade and mismatches dragging WWs up 2 weight classes so bad the WBA won't sanction it. Who has fought the better competition and given his fans better matchups and better fights in their careers Canelo or GGG? Canelo has built up more credit with his fanbase and that's one of the biggest reason he has more fans then GGG.

GGG sold 20k tickets in what? 10 minutes? Or was it 9 minutes? El Pollo struggling LOL. HALF of the entire stadium will be empty LMFAO

lol. The O2 Arena is Matchroom Sport's biggest current stage (with the MEN Arena being a bigger building, Hearn takes fewer fights there); the venue was going to sell out for any big fight that was put there.

To try and act as if Golovkin had anything to do with the tickets selling (note how he was roundly booed the moment he was even in the ring, with no one cheering for him upon his victory) makes you look silly.

its not that serious all fans want to see is your baby daddy fight the champ and prove hes the best. Why are you hiding behind old numbers canelo wont get without ggg? what part of the game is this fam

[Scipio2009]

casinos are the smallest venue lil breh ggg was fighting in different cities in real stadiums like msg and the 80k he just did at 02 in london all to build his brand he is building to become a global superstar and has already took canelos entire mexican fanbase in mexico and most of LA after he punked the good boy.

^^^troll post.

Folks creaming themselves over Golovkin doing 1.5m on TV Azteca, while Alvarez does 15m makes it obvious that you're full of ****.

Old numbers? He just sold over 40K. And now GGG only drawing 800k viewers last weekend is old? Less then he did last year with Murray but you worried about Canelo? Who's fighting on HBO PPV you know the network GGG been fighting on for like 5 years but yet still can't get another PPV because even his bosses as HBO know he is not the draw you think he is otherwise he would be on PPV like Canelo. I can keep going chump you making a fool out yourself.
