Comments Thread For: Canelo vs. Chavez Jr at T-Mobile Arena - Tickets Are SOLD OUT

[Verus]

My original guess was clearly more PPV sales then Khan fight (600K) but less then Cotto fight (900K). Now I'm thinking based on ticket sales and buzz it does more then Cotto fight. One it's on a Mexican Holiday which Cotto fight wasn't and 2 there is real bad blood here between canelo and chavez which will drive the PPV. It has a real shot at being the first fight to crack 1m since the Floyd vs Manny fight.

I think you are right, and they still have 2 full months to promote the fight. It is going to be interesting to hear what some of the Mexican boxing legends say about this fight as we get closer to May. I know some of them have given Canelo grief over the last couple of years. They have been silent about Chavez Jr. I don't know if it is because Jr. was considered irrelevant or out of respect for his father.

He is a bigger draw but come on. What were his numbers with Liam smith??? He only draws big then he has another big name like Floyd cotto or Jr

of course the better your opponent the more you sell,and thats cuz more of your own fans are willing to pay for a better product, not cuz your opponent is adding a similar fanbase...
floyd didnt sell the same vs chino, berto, ghost etc than he did vs mosley, cotto, marquez let alone canelo, still he didnt pay 15 million to any of those i mentioned... and i have to tell you canelo brought a huge fanbase for his fight with floyd, the fight broke records for a reason...

Stfu

Didn't take long for some idiot ^^^ to insert his "Golovkin Derangement Syndrome" into the conversation. Cong**** bro.

U mad

Facts are facts, CANELO outsold ggg, ggg better accept what CANELO offering

Yup hilarious hearing these haters talk and seeing how disconnected they are from reality. This fight is huge, already setting records for T-Mobile and will generate a massive PPV amount. Trolls are upset and praying this fight flops, newsflash it won't.

even Thurman/Garcia which is an even fight,good young guys in their prime unifying the division isn't even sold out yet,and the fight is tomorrow,thats what I just read on another site,when canelo fought smith,a totally unknown guy he still did decent numbers,think about this,he did a little less than what cotto did against Martinez,even chavez sold more against Martinez than cotto/Martinez did..canelo/chavez will do good and that gets the haters mad

chavez will be lucky to have 20% of the attendance cheering for him...
canelos last attendance was 52k fans while chavez jr was like 2k or 3k, sure budy, chavez selling all those tickets...

I'm not talking about attendance as much as I'm talking about PPV. Yeah Canelo has a big turn out, but still his PPV numbers have dwindled when not having the right dance partner. And it helps knowing how to price the tickets, especially when you have that many seats to sell being that a lot of seats won't be close to the action so kudos on them for that. We all know Canelo is a name, no one is denying that. But it is obvious why they went after Chavez.

These brain dead morons actually believe that if GGG accepted Oscar's offer now, he would still get $15 million for fighting Canelo in Sept .. whatever happens in their interim fights!

What if GGG gets KO'd by Jacobs and gets KTFO by Chavez?

"Better accept that offer now, Li'l g, Oscar might withdraw it if you or Canelo get beat."

LMAO!

I would presume that any agreement between the two parties would be enforceable only in the case that both won interim fights.

Floyd would not give any of those guys 10-15 million,he gave chino 1.5 in first fight,canelo has a lot of fans and what did he get against Floyd??..and what is golovkin asking for?.golovkin should be happy with what he's getting offered,just the other day on a Spanish interview he said he wanted half and half,,no way

ggg vs chavez or canelo sells out the same day. dont give me none of that crap that canelo is selling out the arena alone. you need a good dance partner to sellout the arena. look at canela vs khan,not sold out.

It came damn close to a sold-out. I think they only missed it by 1500??? But again the ticket prices were insanely high.

[Shadoww702]

I don't know ANYONE with tickets and I've been trying to buy the cheaper tickets from day 1... I don't think they released many at all to the public???

nowhere in your post i saw anything about ppvs and the topic in this thread is about attendance, anyways we all know the better(bigger name) your opponent the more you sell, your own fans are more willing to buy a better product...
