Comments Thread For: Canelo vs. Smith PPV Buyrate is Not Expected To Break 300K

[PunchyPotorff]

GGG-Brook did 500k in the UK? What did it cost?

From what I've read, PPVs in the UK are always cheaper than ones here in the States. We get reeeeemed for everything over here. RXs 2-3-4 times as much, concerts and fight cards more expensive, lots of things. Except for gas and real estate, basically. Our gas is cheaper, and you can find cheaper real estate here.

It's doesn't matter what it cost.....but I think it was £22...about $30 dollars. But let's nip this conversation before you go any further....the UK has a population of 68 million and the US has a population 340 million and doing under 300k considering the amount of Hispanics and Latino that are US citizens is pathetic and anymore ridiculous talk that canelo is the next saviour of boxing.. .canelo is nowhere near as popular as what golden boy keep making him out to be and his popularity will never crossover to superstardom because one he don't speak a word of English , secondly he blatantly ducked his mandatory challenger and told lies to the fans and finally he's ginger and ginger people stink of piss ...!!!

You need to get back on your meds there friend. Mexico traditionally rarely charges for PPVs... Canelo's biggest audience. And, Mexicans/Mexican-Americans rarely pay top price for anything. At least that's been my experience in retail 30+ years. They'll buy or make the bootleg first. Which translates into them getting the free live stream and not buying the PPV. But like I've said often, even though you just flat out cannot stand it, GGG isn't even making half what Canelo makes... and that will nearly play out when they fight. He'll likely get 30% compared to Canelo's 70%. So hate all you want, friend. Canelo is the A-side. Deal with it.

Lmbo!!! So much for the a side.

Coming from a man who called for a boycott of this fight, I'M HAPPY! Now to all the GGG fans, please understand that the gate and PPV is still double anything that GGG has done...EVER! Double would still translate to 75/25 split! Would GGG fans be satisfied if Oscar offered GGG a 75/25 split?

Double would be 67/33. I'd consider that a reasonable split. Maybe 65/35 or 70/30.

Canelo v Smith did 3.4 million in PPV buys on a channel called "Space"

No idea what the cost was, super cheap I'm sure..

All in all he had an audience of 18 million in Mexico, free and PPV combined

It doesn't matter, because Canelo-Golovkin won't be a PPV in the UK. It's insignificant when negotiating with Canelo.

[Citizen Koba]

The same should be said for GayLoveKin, he just fought a friggen WW at the full 13 lb to 160, at least khan only had to move up 8 lbs, even though I hate khan...it is true.

I'm not saying your wrong, man, it's weird because Brook wasn't a legitimate opponent at all whereas Beefy was a Strapholder at the weight at which they were fighting, but the impression I get is that Golovkins worth has risen whereas Canelos has dropped. What's that about? Maybe I'm getting a misleading vibe from being in the UK though.

[Mr.Fantastic]

The actual reality: Canelo netted WAY more than your gold plated idol did. So I'm sure Canelo's smile is bigger than that dopey mugged GGG's grin.

I don't give a flying fuck who makes more. It's not in my pocket so fuck it! You dudes are so obsessed with PPV numbers so I had to post that. If it was up to me, only mega fights should be PPV. Not shit like this or Golovkin vs Brook.

[J Dubber]

You just sounds like you don't understand the boxing business. L Smith is a no name opponent, and they still did roughly 300K ON TOP of putting 51,000 butts in the seat. If you honestly believe this event isn't even more proof of Canelo's stardom then I dont know what to tell you.

Canelois the A-side by a large margain, nobody in boxing comes close right now in terms of box office.

Also everyone, stop comparing the UK PPV numbers with Canelo's, that PPV was what? 30 bucks? Some of these posters are so simple

You didnt count all of the PPV buy GBP spent themselves to jack up the numbers... jk

I dont know anyone that bought the fight or even talked about getting it... I also dont know any bars in the Phoenix Metro that were even showing it.

[Daddy T]

don't buy crap fights and we'll get the fights we want. it's as simple as that.
