Every hbo, showtime, Pbc , sky card

You're bragging about being a real fan and claiming you watch every fight, but you only watch the big American and British cards. No shame in it, there is in claiming to be something you're not.

OK. you heard it here first. GGG vs Conelo is not happening in 2017.

This ^^^^^^right here.

Problem is us MEXICANS were the ones that actually bought this dudes PPV's. (Including this one) & Went to the forum to watch him & sold it out. You so called GGGirls fanbois are the ones streaming his ****... lol

This is all I'm hearing too. Just f#cking fight mfers.

Both guys are gonna get paid nice amounts of money & GGG will make his biggest payday for sure so lets quit f#cking playing media games & just get in a room & iron sh^t out post Chavez or post Saunders. And whoever loses won't be a bum or "exposed" except by the dummies so neither guy needs to worry about that either. Everything that gets talked about til then is just making it harder to come to terms when they can talk & don't have a fight scheduled like right now.

GGG vs Jacobs did 170,000 buys. Canelo vs Jacobs would have done about 300,000 buys. There's no doubt Canelo is the bigger star. Nobody is dis*****g that. But if Canelo is the biggest star in boxing and GGG is half the star Canelo is, that still makes GGG a big star in his own right.

65/35 in Canelo's favor seems about right to me.

Sad to say but Conor mcgregor a much bigger draw in boxing than ggg

How much would canelo be selling if it wasnt for Cotto, Mayweather, Khan, who they have their own fanbase, ask de la hoya how many PPV he sold with smith? That fight will sell, is what the mayority of people are asking, the fight against Chavez Jr will sell, but that's because of Chavez name and because they are Mexicans, but after that fight, if it's not a rematch with Cotto, with what other boxer will he sell, theres no one left with a big following.

Here's the problem with your theory. The only PPV Floyd did that grosses higher than Canelo is Manny. The only PPVs Cotto did that grossed more than Canelo is with Floyd and Manny. I honestly don't even remember Khan ever headlining a PPV prior to Canelo. And even Canleo's fights with guys like Lara, Angulo, and Smith are at least doubling what everyone else is doing. And outside of Lara, GGG has had supposedly intriguing matchups on his PPVs. Lemieux in a "unification" that GGG's fans think is the holy grail of boxing. And Jacobs in a #1 vs #2 in the division matchup. And both flopped. You had Crawford-Postol in a #1 vs #2 in the division matchup that did like 50K. And Crawford is P4P one of the best fighters in the world. And the ultimate shocker to me. A legitimate superfight in Ward-Kovalev only managed like 160K. That told me that PPV boxing as I once knew it is gone. So even in his shows that didn't sell, Canelo is killing the current market.

De La Hoya: '...it’s a big risk for me to put up a lot of money up front...'

Then do a percentage and stop offering a flat fee you dope !
