Canelo Alvarez only sells 62k ppvs?

[BoxingIsGreat]

And people will eat it up, just like they're doing with this "8 figure offer" talk.

Oscar would NEVER lie to us...

No, never!

[Mike D]

yeah but you have to think about it, just like filipinos, there's prolly 30 heads deep in one house watching the fight.

yeah good point

[WesternChamp]

I dunno how people are buying this bull****. The drama of internet age I guess.

yeah but when its a certain other fighter, the same people complaining here that it needs to come from a reputable source for them to believe it doesnt care and will just run with the low number that was thrown out.

[12TRIBEsRiSe]

bad numbers but GGG is not the A side in this fight

[Scipio2009]

No matter what it is, it won't get to 200k probably. That should be a lesson to fighters, you can't just fight Jon Doe on PPV and expect even your craziest fans to buy it. The lower the number the better, because that will put pressure on them to make better fights. Giving us FNF caliber fights on PPV is abuse

I'd honestly wait till this coming Saturday before making such a statement. Alvarez's two debut PPV did over 300k PPV buys and the Khan fight apparently did 600k PPV buys.

The fact that Alvarez was able to put over 50k people into AT&T Stadium, makes it pretty obvious that Alvarez is a clear draw.

How are you going to react when the number comes out and it's over 500k PPV buys?

[Scipio2009]

Oscar will soon tell us that it made 700K.

Just like how Loeffler said the Golovkin PPV did 150K?

[gmc_rfc_06]

This is doing at least 250k, people watch Canelo fights. It's that simple.

The real numbers for the khan fight were just under 300k and under 700k for the cotto fight. Oscar has become a pathological liar his numbers are always inflated. They were saying they only had 36k tickets sold hoping for over 40k and now there claiming 51k atteneded.

Yes, he said that. But he doesn't have the lying reputation compared to Arum and especially Oscar.

Fight-hype was actually the first site to report that number, and then espn reported a similiar number...so that number is probably pretty close to reality.

the "97K" bs was from a Glaser (who has no connections in boxing or television) tweet, which should only be taken as a joke.

Canelo-Smith numbers won't be good, but they should end up around 150-200K at worst, right?
