So how much $$ do you think Canelo-GGG generates?

[Don Mac]

It'll make a lot more than canelo v cotto, I reckon $60-70m

GGG is alot more famous than Canelo outside US/Latin America, so the ppv will be at least 50% GGG fans IMO

First and foremost, you either take the site fee or the live gate; in no world will a venue pay to host an event and then not control the tickets to said event. (When MGM Resorts paid the $16m to host Cotto-Alvarez, notice how nearly all of the seats were kept for MGM Resorts customers)

Secondly, a $35m take on the PPV (before counting the promoters' share) isn't all that unreasonable a guess, to a touch optimistic; generating $70m on the fight would make Alvarez-Golovkin a bigger fight than Cotto-Alvarez which I doubt.

site fee: $15m from Jerry Jones
PPV: $35m

$50m for the fight, promoters take 20% (leaving $40m for the fighter, Golovkin gets $10m, Alvarez gets $30m (basically a 75/25 Alvarez share on the fight).

Compare the starpowers heading into te fight, and I don't think that that's all that bad a deal.

I would offer 60-40 and take 70-30 if I'm K2.. Maybe push for 65-35 if you think you can get it...he's still gonna make between 10-15 million most likely.. Problem is there's not another fight after Canelo that brings him anything close to this amount so they better get all they can here...

Why would Golden Boy give Golovkin anything extra, knowing the same information that you just noted?

Golovkin is 35 years old, is not a PPV fighter (after 4 years of TV work on HBO), and doesn't really have any other fight to look forward to.

K2 can try all the negotiating tricks that you can think of, Golden Boy literally has no incentive to move their number. Regardless of all the heat that the HBO orbit can try to put on Alvarez, none of that will help Golovkin bring an extra dollar to the table.

[Chuckguy]

I say around $50 million

[RussB23]

When it happens its gonna be a big fight. I dont care who makes what as long as we the fans get to see it sooner than later.

[The Gambler1981]

I think 50 is a good expectation, I actually do think it cold do more but things have to go right for that to occur so I would want to count that as beating expectations.

I think Canelo vs Cotto numbers seem realistic, if they do wait I think it will move up. The Buzz is HUGE with us the boxing fans but the Casual Sports fan, no they not that interested in it yet

[Fetta]

I'm gonna say 1 buy rate and total of $70-75 dollars

[Redd Foxx]

1.2 to 1.5mil PPV buys. Canelo can do ok on his own but his PPVs are mostly dictated by his dance partner. Golovkin just hasn't had enough quality exposure. Many casuals are not familiar with him and he doesn't sell well in the states. However, I think the synergy of those 2 together would draw over a million, possibly even 1.5 if they push the advertising. That would be quite a lot considering that Golovkin previously did 1/15th that in the States.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

50-75 million


10-15 million gate

900k PPv buys but providers take a 50% cut

5 million international rights

3 million sponsors
