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

[Jubei]

The live gate comparison doesn't tell us much.. Canelo/Smith was staged in an 80,000 seat stadium, in Texas, on Mexican independence weekend, and 51,000 tickets were sold.

With no stadiums available in the UK during the football season, GGG/Brook was staged in the 17,000 seat 02 Arena. And tickets sold out in less than 10 minutes.

Comparing PPV sales ... Canelo/Smith - 250/300k from 126.4 US households.

GGG/Brook - 500k from 27 million UK households. The HBO PPV's cost 3x more than the Sky PPV's doe.

I don't have figures for the worldwide audiences. But I would think GGG/Brook >> Canelo/Smith worldwide.

K2 even has a new deal with German Broadcaster RTL for GGG, and they showed the Brook Fight. GGG vs Brook was broadcasted in over 100 countries worldwide, Canelo vs Smith was only shown in America and the UK from what i saw.

Are you fucking blind of hate? This article here tells you the real numbers, GGG did 150k vs Lemieux and 500k vs Brook.

Canelo did LESS than 300k. Meaning its, maybe 210, maybe 250, maybe 290k, its not 300k.

Maybe you should go to school and educate yourself before making a fool out of you for not being able to read an article.

Hate to say it but that's still DAMN good numbers against someone noone in America has ever heard of. And on a College Football Day.... I do give some credit to the Holiday and PARTYING at JerryLand until 2-3 A.M. on Saturday Night

To be honest that would of been the only reason I would of went!

They were actually charging $70 for this pos fight? They must be out of their fkin mind. LOL

It's the money grab before they make the GGG fight. They're trying to drain as much money from the public as they can before they make it. Basically what Pac/May did for years until their numbers dropped, then it was time to make the fight

Hit and not be hit ; can not hit what you don't see .

No comment.... But how sure are you on those numbers???

And STILL, the Canelo phagettron nation is still making excuses for this coward! Canelo needs GGG, accept it. You want to see it but don't want to see your idol destroyed. GBP are fools if they think GGG should take a flat rate. Welcome back to earth ladies!

If you're gonna do ppv an expect to draw huge numbers, the combatants must have large fan bases. The ppv would even draw more numbers if people thought the fight would be competitive. FMJ did his highest numbers against guys that people thought were a lock to beat him. Manny did his highest numbers against guys that people thought would produce a competitive fight. Trying to get huge numbers based on one person's star power alone won't work. In fact I.can think of only one fighter to do above average numbers for a fight against an unknown and that was Mike Tyson in his first fight after getting out of prison.

So you basically say that it is very difficult to draw any conclusion (money generating power) from their last outings mostly because they did it in very different conditions? I will agree.

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