Canelo "face of boxing" "Super A-Side" sold 45k tickets against Smith. And 250-300k PPVs.
WOW, impressive right? not really. The tickets were so cheap that the total gate was just 5 millions. Source.
Golovkin numbers 2 years ago against Lemieux:
20k seats, 2 or 2.5 millions in gate.
150k in PPVs.
For comparison, Ward-Kovalev sold 3.3 millions in gate. So Canelo did more than that fight, but not a great difference.
As we see, by himself Canelo doesn't sell as good as he says. He doubles Golovkin's numbers, but that's it.
And I expect Golovkin-Jacobs to sell better than Golovkin-Lemieux with a gate between 3 and 4 millions and 200k PPVs. So maybe the gap is even less.
