he was thrown to the wolves, he deserves rest. seems like a pretty cool dude too

Wouldn't be a surprised. No one wanted yo see that fight. I didn't even watch it at all. Might not even watch the replay this weekend. Probably won't.

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?

Im hearing that over 12,000 tickets were given away. And over 10,000 tickets were 25$.

[Scipio2009]

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.

If you have a source for either statement, you'd be doing a great service to the conversation if you shared the info.

As I doubt that you actually do have any such source material, I will take your statements for what they are.

I look for fun and found no $25 tix.

Bro lives in Dallas and he was looking for give aways and saw none

I can't believe people are actually talking about this number.

It's a troll number from a troll account. I'd love it to be true, but there's no basis in fact for it.

[Scipio2009]

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?

Loeffler has already been caught trying to sell a $1.5m contract offer as if it was actually a $4m offer (let alone the shenanigans behind the Ward fiasco), so I'd hold off on speaking to the honesty of Tom Loeffler.

Alvarez-Lara and Alvarez-Angulo both did over 300k PPV buys, Cotto-Alvarez apparently did 900k PPV buys, and Alvarez-Khan apparently did 600k PPV buys (doubt/discount the reported numbers as you wish).

With the amount of fan energy that it took to get over 50k fans into the building to see Alvarez fight, there's no doubt in my mind that Alvarez-Smith did at least 400k PPV buys, and I would not be shocked if it ended up coming close to matching the number for the Khan fight.

source or gtfoh. tired of the shill ****.

From the opening press release, tickets were priced $750-$40.

[Jubei]

It's obviously a troll account

Even the lowest estimates were 300k. The manufactured face of the sport cant possibly do less than 300k on Mexican Independant Holiday? Oscar, full on ******* will put out some hilarious fantasy numbers soon.

i swear this forum is the worst when it comes to posting links or sources. dudes just start threads thinking we just heard the same stuff they did lol
