Canelo vs Smith did just over 180k buys

As for #s...375 crazy, 460 wrong because impossible to know cable # on Wednesday, and Oscar closer than anyone. https://t.co/AXyPEPawjz

145k buys thru Directv (~26% market share) extrapolates to 560k buys total. Directv is only reliable number this early. What am I missing?

I'll take the word from Duva (world class promoter) and MarK Taffet PPV Guru for HBO. Tweets from both on the Thur and Fri after Canelos last PPV debunking false PPV numbers and exposing yahoo for claiming to have the full total including cable numbers they flat out made up. The cable numbers according to Taffet don't come for almost 10 days later.

Nicole Duva is a world class promoter??? That's rich.

Again, cable ESTIMATES are available Wednesday. Actual cable numbers are available Friday-ish (meaning maybe Monday), which is consistent with what Taffet says.
