Comments Thread For: Golden Boy Will Be Aggressive With Piracy of Canelo-Chavez PPV

[Boxing lives]

Dude, GGG is talked about on ESpn regularly. He's sponsored by Air Jordan brand and Apple.

More people in America care about him than Chavez Jr.

People just don't want to see him fight anybody other than Canelo. When he actually fights Canelo. People will care

Chavez Jr sold 475k ppv vs Martinez. He is a proven ppv commodity whether it is deserved or not. Canelo-Chavez will likely outperform even the Canelo-Cotto ppv. Canelo-Golovkin will do less than Canelo-Chavez. I'd bet anything on that.

You're making the mistake of using their past histories to make a prediction.

Americans don't care about boxing UNLESS it's sold as the best of the best.

Latino Americans will continue to buy Canelo & Chavez, but Americans, who generally don't care about PPVs, even if it's Ward/Kovalev, or whatever will because this is the only event fight that people are anticipating in America.

It's why the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight was the biggest event in American sports history, financially.

It was the biggest fight that could be made in the sport, so Americans, who usually don't care enough to watch, watched because they knew it was a special fight.

Same here, this has been called the biggest fight possible in the post Floyd/Manny era, so this is the only fight that many people will care about.

I expect it to do extremely well, because people have refrained buying other pay-per-views in anticipation for this one.

Oscar is like the fledgling music industry CEOs still hoping they're going to wake up tomorrow and it will be 1997.

Views = interest. I can't believe they're still measuring fighter success in PPV buys. Shouldn't KO clip views and full fight views on YouTube count? Why the hell not?!
Counting how many people sit still in front of the tv for an hour on a Saturday night past midnight is ******ed.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

you can not be aggressive with soemthing you dont understand, your guys are reactive and not proactive.

Oscar the butt-pirate hates pirates

PPV model needs to **** off and die

The moment they started making **** like Mayorga-Mosley, Crawford-Postol or GGG-Lemieux PPVs, you know these greedy ass promoters need to be taught a lesson. PPVs used to be for MEGA FIGHTS only

I never pay for PPVs, I stream them

unless there's a fight i'm highly interested in, in that case I watch them at pubs and sport bars

I'll be watching this match for the price of a few beers and chips

Offer a crappy card, and attempt to reenforce the buys with threats LOL.

Give people what they want, quality, and they will buy. Offer something subpar, and you will not get them.

The PPV buyrate here in America will exceed a million buys for Canelo-Chavez. The fight being on Cinco de Mayo weekend will help because Mexican Americans will be buying this one. Brand matters and Chavez Jr has a bigger name than GGG. Floyd-Pacman was talked about by mainstream media for several years and built up. While shows like first take do name drop GGG, he just hasn't crossed to the general market. I do think Canelo does big business with GGG, but I think the Chavez Jr fight will bring in the biggest numbers since Mayweather. We will see though. I fully expect Canelo to win this Chavez fight and fight GGG in September.
