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

[J Dubber]

The gate alone made more than the entire Golovkin-Lemieux fight. Flopped though.

You must of slept on the ppv and gate for the GGG Brook fight... 500+ Sky ppv, 20k at the 02 Arena (sold out), and the 850k HBO views ($16 per month subscription) cherry on top!

GGG is the A side sun!

??? The fight did at least 300k. And I like how they say close to 500K??? It was almost 600K bit who is counting!

WOW!!!! Canelo drew 50k fans live and close to 300k PPV against a nobody??? GGG is ***'d

You got to be an idiot if you think there is still hope for Canelo stepping in the ring with the orbital bone crushing Monster!

Golovkin wasn't even the A-side in that fight. Son.

UK PPV has no significance in the Canelo negotiations. Son.

Canelo-Golovkin won't be a UK PPV. Son.

Holy **** at the hissy fits Golovkin haters are having in here. I don't even give a damn about PPVs and viewers but this is too funny.

"Mr 97k" just showed up the "face of boxing".

How much was Canelo Smith gate? + (65*300k) 20000000/

How much was GGG gate? + (22*500k) 10000000 (50%) of Canelo's number.

When we have those numbers together that may represent a fair split of revenue. May be K2 is thinking that this fight will generate more than 40 mil?

I don't know, may be K2 is hoping for 65/35 or something more real 70/30%

I'm a GGG fan from when he was amateur (I'm from Russia) - he was kind of a legend over here (even with that Gidarbekov loss. He was competing very well (silver medal) with much bigger guys.

I do think that Oscar has every reason to affraid that his cash caw is likely to face another loss and it might be more damaging than Mayweather loss.

I think that 70/30 is OK split.


Thanks

There are no Teds from Russia you liar!

You spelled "son" wrong...

You must have been deprived of real hip hop in its goldenage!

Anywho, both Brook and GGG made a guarantee $5 mil... no real A side there..

How is US PPV better or even different than UK PPV?

Fun Fact: Numbers prove more people watched the GGG Brook fight across the globe than the Canelo Smith fight!

No Golovkin was paid a flat £3 mil, Brook was guaranteed £3mil with PPV upside. UK PPV is a 3rd of the Price of US PPV.


Fun Fact: Your facts are bull****, you have global numbers do you?

[R_Walken]

Lance Pugmire initially tweeted 299-310 then less then a hour later said 250-300 probably means in the 260 range. I predict Glaser will say about 200k

No matter how you cut it this is Canelos worst performing PPV. You can't say this is a sucess especially when you factor in he has the Mexican holidays now

[J Dubber]

Canelo Mexico fans watching fight alone blew out GGG/Brook worldwide audiences alone

They have TVs in Mexico?

I keed I keed... The whole country of Khazakstan watched the fight along with 100 other countries that some German broadcast put out there...

Its ignorant to think that the US and Mexico are the only countries that watch boxing.. hell... the whole country of the Phillipines shuts down to watch Manny fight and thats like 200 million people!

Canelo does not have a drawing power he pretends to have. Boy.
Canelo is delusional offering flat fee to GGG. Boy.
It is more likely 60:40 split in favor to Canelo. Boy.
