Comments Thread For: Golovkin Promoter Won't Predict PPV Numbers for Golovkin-Jacobs

[boxingitis]

you say 97K or 150K blatantly leaving out the fact the most creditable report said Smith fight did 300k. So the real comparison is either we take the lowest numbers from BOTH or we compare the highest from both. So it's either 97k vs 220k or 150k vs 300k. You choose either way Canelo's worst PPV did DOUBLE GGG's. And Canelo/Smith was not billed as the biggest fight of his career like GGG's was and his opponent Lemiuex has actually fought in the US and headlined cards on HBO. Smith a pure unknown who NOBODY in the US or Mexico ever seen fight. Never been on US TV or fought on US soil. And still did it double what GGG did in PPVs and drew over 50,000 in attendance.

This is the problem with GGG groupies nobody would say Smith and Lemieux are comparable draws. Smith is closer to Wade who GGG fought on regular HBO and even with dirt cheap tickets ended up giving away tons of tickets for free. But this the game you guys play let me try and grab the low water mark to compare to GGG's biggest fight of his career against a bigger name...just so the numbers look kinda close. You don't want to talk about the Chavez numbers coming up or the Khan fight or the Cotto fight. Or the fact that if Canelo were fighting Jacobs there wouldn't be any tickets left for sale and nobody would be afraid to give a prediction on how many PPVs it would sell. You know why? Because Canelo is a bigger and proven draw. GGG has only 1 flop under his belt and his promoter is talking like he's ready to weather the storm for another.

So more PPV means ur a better fighter, what an idiot. Yes Canelo is better than Crawford, Pacman, Lomachenko, Roman Gonzalez, Ward, Kovalev, Rigondaux in ur dreams. All it means that some ****** ppl buy that Canelo great. Ward vs Kovalev was an interesting fight, competitive wise and it lack ppv buys. Have Canelo go to Kazakstan or the UK to see how many PPV he can sale, there are not many Mexicans in Kazakstan or the UK. What a ****** comparison. There are 30 Million Mexican and Mexican Americans in the US, ill bet there is less than a Million Kazak Ppl, yet Canelo only did 100K or 150 K more.

Wonder if that big storm they just got is going to hurt this fight???

[Shadoww702]

I hope this fight does good numbers and makes some good money. It will only help ALL of boxing out...This undercard is REALLY good!!

Why would he go to Kazak phuk stan when he makes more money fighting here? Floyd made more money then anyone EVER in history and NEVER left Vegas. Everyone came to him. Same with Canelo. Not Canelo's fault GGG can't get fights in Vegas so has to fly to the UK to be Brooks B side just to get a check off cheap 15 dollar UK PPVs. Canelo will stay fighting in vegas where the cash is. He selling 70 dollar big boy PPVs for more money. And of course fictional money is so good in khazakstan that's why he's fighting this sat for just 2.5m? Stop with the fairy tales. LMAO

Do you know Mayweather is American, ofcourse he made more money in the US. Do you see Brook, Klitchko, Joshua coming to American and doing PPV? Ur comparing Apples and Oranges . Just because Canelo sell more PPV in America with large Mexican Population doesnt make him a better fighter than GGG. It just means more Mexicans buy his PPV than Mexicans who buy GGG PPV. Nothing else. Go to google and search Top Pound for pound boxers, you will see GGG above Canelo in all or most of the list from diferent sources.

We don't need you to. We simply will do it ourselves.

I'm gonna say 250k tops.

Does predicting such a low number label me as a hater?

That's actually a really high number.

100-150k sounds more real.
