Canelo-Chavez: How Many Buys Does The Pay-Per-View Do?

[TheCell8]

Khan did 600k buys and Chavez is a bigger draw then Khan. Will do more then Khan but less then Cotto (900K). My guess is 800k ppv.

Well then it will do less than Khan numbers. Around 450K.

800K is a stretch. Chavez Jr. isn't nearly as popular as he was in his heyday at HBO from 2012-2014. His Showtime numbers have been poor, which suggest fans have pretty much given up on him. Plus, the fight isn't for a title either and he's a huge underdog. A bigger underdog than Amir Khan was.

[A.K]

I guarantee it does over 1M

Lmao even Mexicans know Chavez is a joke

[CaneloMaidana]

They say the same thing every time.

It's not a huge fight and Canelo isn't a huge draw. Neither is chavez

Khan vs Canelo made 27 million dollars. Not a draw? Chavez sold 450k vs Martinez but not a draw? I'm in Dallas it's about 30 percent Mexican, Canelo drew 51k here for a reason.

Everybody numbers on showtime right now are in the toilet I think that's more on Showtime losing viewership ever since Haymon created PBC and took fighters away from Showtime. Now they coming back and all doing half what they used to. When Chavez was fighting on HBO before he signed with Haymon look at his ratings best ratings of any NON PPV fights and this was AFTER he lost to Sergio. His numbers tanked because of moving to Showtime.

Chavez drew 450 ppvs against Sergio and his last fight on HBO before he jumped ship to Haymon drew 1.39m viewers against Byan frigging Vera. Fight peaked at 1.59m viewers. First fight on Showtime against Fonfara a bigger name then Vera drew only drew 600k viewers. That's more about switching from HBO to a sinking Showtime then it is about his popularity. Coming back to HBO where he built his name against the bigger draw in the sport in a real rivalry that goes back years. This fight will no doubt sell.

But there's nothing to suggest those numbers will come back now that he's fighting on HBO.

His last few performances have been poor and not many people are giving him a chance in this one.

He's more well known than Liam Smith so the fight should do much better numbers than 300K. But I'm not sure he's an intriguing enough opponent for it to do 600K.

Just wait till HBO starts the marketing!

I disagree the intrigue is that these men flat out hate each others guts. Fans have dreamt about them fighting for over half a decade. Their camps hate each other. Chavez not only hates Canelo but he hates his promoter who he is still butt hurt over for beating his daddy twice and making his quit on his stool. Chavez Sr because of these beatings hates Oscar and hates Canelo because he took the spotlight he wanted for his son. The story lines between Canelo/Chavez, Chavez/DeLaHoya are endless. And while everyone agrees Canelo is the more skilled fighter Chavez is legit 2 weight classes bigger then Canelo and is one 1 big shot away from upsetting Canelo. Canelo has never felt the power of a 160lb fighter let alone one who has fought above 170 no way to know how he will handle that. And their styles make for an exciting fight, neither guy wants to dance or run. Chavez wants to come forward and Canelo doesn't want to chase he wants you to come at him so he can light you up with counter punches.

Last it's on Cinco de mayo a night fans have been programed to get drunk and order Boxing PPVs

[Humean]

Canelo-Khan did 600K so i'm guessing close to 1mil.

[LA_2_Vegas]

These two once fought on the same nigh in Vegas...about a mile away from each other.


Chavez JR-Martnez was sold out to the rafters and got like 450k PPV buys and Canelo-Lopez fight pulled 1 million on Showtime and sold 13k tickets. Of course this was before Chavez lost a couple of times and insulted fans-- but I don't think people will be able to resist this spectacle.

I'm going to guess 800k-900k
