Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Golovkin a Big Star? Why Does He Sell 100-200K on PPV?

[casheddie]

Khan has a fan base in America? Khan's no bigger than Jacobs in America. If Canelo fought Jacobs it would have done 500K+.

Some kind of idiot you are.

Khan has a million followers on instagram

Jacobs had 55k before he fought GGG.

Even if thats not directly correlated to sales. the starpower is not close at all

You're calling him an idiot, but the only idiot is you. Using numbers from Instagram to try to defend your point, lol. Instagram, FB, Twiter, does not give you an idea of how a fighter will sell on PPV. How many of those fans are loyal fans that will support the fighter by buying a PPV?

What's the conversion rate of those numbers to paying customers?

I am disgusted with De La Hoya, and some of the "fans" on this forum..

Does anyone know what the PPV numbers were for Kovalev-Ward? You don't because It wasn't a pay per view fight. It was an HBO fight. It was the biggest & most important fight in several years.

BTW a great fight.

Sorry buddy, but the fight was on "PPV". It did around 160k buys. Now to your point about MMA killing boxing. MMA is becoming just like boxing. Give thanks to Connor McGregor for that and Dana white who's all about the money now more than the putting on the Best fights.

Exactly, Jacobs took the fight with no problem. why can't ODH and team do the same?

Jacobs is a MW

Canelo has never fought a MW in his life

Big difference.

Did Hopkins a piece of the PPV when he fought Oscar?
can someone break that down. I think it should be similar in this case then right?

he said with no problem...as if money had nothing to do with the postponement for GGG vs Jacobs when they were negotiating...

GGG is no superstar, yet GGG vs Canelo is the biggest fight in Boxing. Chavez probably sells better than GGG, even though Chavez sucks, thats why Canelo chose Chavez. Easier opponent that brings more money.

Man y'all need to stop it. Anyone in their right mind knows the Mexican fan base is huge. GGG is a superstar!!! I was at the fight last week and the Garden was sold out. We all know Canelo has a huge fan base here in America. I would like to see Canelo last fight PPV numbers. We all know this fight with Chavez will do good numbers. Mexican vs Mexican on a big Mexican holiday weekend.

Hey asshat white people aren't the criminal race per capita... we know what race really commits the crimes. It's so bad that Hispanics are lumped into the "white" category just to make the real criminal race not look as bad as they are.

White people are the ones actually doing something in the world besides playing sports, rap, cry racism, cry for handouts, and promoting hatred for white people. It takes a pathetic group of people to ask for reparations for something that they weren't even a part of... notice the other enslaved people are not beggers like the Irish.

White people have more culture than blacks lol. What do you have? Swag, lean, saggy pants, ebonics, poor education, fatherless homes, welfare, ******s, distinctive stench, greasy and ashy skin, nappy hair, etc... what makes you so proud? What have you really done for the world?

White people have much more to be proud of like our inventions and teachings. How many brothas drafted and signed the Declaration of Independence? I always had my right to vote, could use any water fountain, could sit anywhere on a bus, etc... but stay proud brotha.

My bad, I forgot white people invented everything but crime, .
