Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Expects Canelo vs. Chavez To Break 1 Million PPV Buys

[Motorcity Cobra]

I'm interested to see what this does. Two non English speakers. Oscar is going to have to do the heavy lifting to sell this fight to the casual American fans. They gotta rely heavily on the Mexican-Americans to break 1 mil. Canelo fights in America but when you think about it he has no footprint in mainstream America. Pacquiao is still more know than Canelo.

OScar Is so delusional

[repsa]

I doubt it.

I doubt it. 600k is pushing it I think. I say between 450-600k

Well one of Mayweather''s theories was that reason he sold PPVS is because there was some mysticism for wanting to see him lose. Of course that would seem like an oxymoron, but then how else would you explain it?

Therefore, if the growing hate for Alvarez or Golovin continues exponentially then it would follow the pattern that their PPVS will do better in the future because want r see them lose? No that can't be it. DE LA Hoya did good PPVS because people wanted to watch him?

Therefore people wanted to watch Floyd? People want to watch Alvarez? People want to watch Golovkin?

Alvarez will pull 500k, Chaves Jr. 400k, and the rest 100k.

only the casual fan and canola nuthuggers will pay for this fiasco

Oscar is delusional, Cotto vs Canela did 500k
This will be lucky to break 300k.

yes Oscar is delusional and a coke head but cotto vs Canelo did 900k and since Canelo did 290k vs nobody beefy Smith, I'm sure Canelo vs Chavez does better than that. My guess is 500k gullible fools will buy it.

Yeah, I saw that quote. I'd assume the same, that he probably doesn't get the respect from some in Mexico he feels he deserves. I've heard that many in Mexico aren't too fond of him. Mexicans are hard core fans so I'm sure many aren't too happy with his business first approach to being. There's an article in Spanish from a yr ago called "Mexico no cree en Canelo Alvarez" that explains how he hasn't won over the hard-core Mexican yet.

He did a SHT ton of damage to his reputation with that BS calling GGG out and saying real mexicans don't f around... I couldn't stand him for months when he did that and then dropped the belt. And he's doing no favors with fighting Liam Smith who NO one wanted to see him fight. I still haven't watched that Mismatch. The only small hope some of his fans still have is that Sept. 2017

First big PPV of the year, Cinco de Mayo weekend, two Mexicans, I'd say it clears 800k easily.

agree

It'll do around 500-600K at best.

let me have what you're smoking.


This is will be 800-1.1M
