Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: I'm Extremely Happy With 300K Buys For Canelo PPV

It is good numbers. Can any other fight generate more than that at this point? Boxing ppv is pretty much dead in the u.s

Yes, Pac and Cotto.

people need to realize who he fought,a total nobody,never had smith fought anybody known,he's totally unknown,,,and to do close to 300k isn't bad considering that,,,,look at other fighters,when cotto fought Judah,and cotto was known and so was Judah,that did under 300k,when cotto fought mayorga,under 300k,,and those two opponents were known,ex champs,when cotto fought Martinez,that was for history,4th division to become a champ,maritnez obviously better known than smith,by a lot,and that did like 350k..so in reality close to 300k isn't bad when he's facing a guy like smith...there is no other fighter right now that can face a totally unknown guy and do 300k...except for pacquiao,..nobody

[lopez36]

Yes, Pac and Cotto.

pac yes..but cotto against someone nobody has ever heard of??...remember like I said earlier,he did 350k againt Martinez,that fight was for history and Martinez unlike smith was known...only 350k,why would I think he would do 300k against a liam smith type of fighter?...

[Teetotaler]

Yes, Pac and Cotto.

lets see how pac-vargas does and cotto? Didnt he only do 300k with martinez?

Cotto is not ****** enough to fight on PPV against a nobodie. Canelo's PPV did less than 300k. And when Cotto fought Martinez on PPV, there was a hoarse going for the tripple crown, puerto rico mens basketball team was playing in an olympic qualifier, and the event was up against the world cup tournament. I have always said Cotto would have far better numbers if he did not fight on the weekend of the Puerto Rican parade. I believe Cotto has a built in audience of about 300-400k fans that will watch any fight he is in.

Cotto Martinez did 350k. Refer to above post

[Jsmooth9876]

That's a great number specially since it wasn't an expensive ppv it's not like they are guaranteeing canelo 32 mil or 25 like a manny or Floyd he probably made 5mill but he will get to the 20 mill soon

Not unless he fights the one guy we all wanna see him fight.

[Jubei]

So 200-250k on the biggest Mexican Holiday of the year? Damn imagine that fight would have been on a regular weekend, would it have done 100k? Probably not. Oscar trying to save face and continue ducking GGG.

[Jsmooth9876]

Canelo has it made being Mexican. They're the biggest fan base in the sport and that's the only reason this kid sells that many PPV against a complete nobody.

He's not that big a star, facts are that nobody is selling anymore after that Pac-Mayweather debacle. The casuals said fk this, I'll just order an UFC PPV instead and get guaranteed action with 2 top level contenders instead of watching so called "stars" fight nobodies..

[just the facts]

sources ive heard told me it was nearer the 100k mark... so quit lying you ******

Who are these "sources"? Or are you just making up shyte to fit your agenda again?
