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.

what did I write to you before when I said 70-30.....I agreed and that's slightly more than over double the amount.....but lets get one thing straight canelo done les than 250k ppv on his last fight which gos to prove canelo is far removed from being anything like a mayweather or pacquaio at there peak in ppv buys....and for canelo to make big numbers he needs a worth dance partner and both of canelos highest numbers were cotto and mayweather and that proves without another hall of famer he makes just medicocre numbers....so why should canelo make 5 times the amount over golovkin when he needs golovkin to make good numbers....be fair and look at with unbias eyes and stop talking rubbish....canelo vs smith done 250 k and if he faced golovkin would make 800k at least....so 70-30 is fair

Well put, but you forgot the fact that the brits are known all over the world for having rotten yellow teeth, and that isnt even an exaggeration. Here in the states when one thinks of a brit the first thing that pops in our minds is that unintelligible accent and yellow teeth. How is this relevant? I dont know but hopefully your brushing your teeth over there plunger

yellow teeth lol....GTFOH FATSO

No way Jose! Golovkin's fights get huge audiences in Mexico. Maybe not as huge as Canelo's, but out of sight better than Canelo's numbers in Europe, Russia, Asia, The Phillipines, Australia ... etc

The thrilling victory by Golovkin was also viewed live on TV Azteca by 1,560,000 viewers in Mexico on Saturday afternoon. Golovkin’s fights are broadcast in over 100 countries which all reported strong viewership numbers for this event.

The Hell with PPV buys. People care about PPV buys for what? Mayweather vs Berto did 550,000 (according to one article) and people were happy it flopped. Canelo did less than 300,000 and some say that was good and some say it was bad. People are comparing UK vs US ppv and everything. Truth is, those ppv numbers will skyrocket once those two men enter the ring against each other. For example, the Mayweather flop and the Canelo flop combined was way less than they did together. Canelo and GGG so-called flops will be way less than their fight will be in September. In my opinion, neither has any try bargaining power. They both need each other.

This is justice for boxing fans. Don't buy crap fights and we'll get the fights we want.

this.


i sent the most powerful message i could to oscar: i didn't buy this fight. unless the undercard is tremendous, or canelo's in there with a top fighter, i'm done watching his PPV until he fights golovkin.

Somebody here posted a link to a site which gave the numbers for every country that screened GGG vs Murray live.

The UK number was disappointing - only 850k for a fight that was broadcast live on terrestrial TV.

The highest viewing figure for GGG/Murray was in Mexico, and it was watched live there by over 8 million. GGG's profile is much higher now than it was when he fought Murray. If over 8 million watched that one, I think the total number of Mexican viewers for GGG/Brook must be higher than 1.6 million. Was TV Azteca the only company that screened it?
