Comments Thread For: UFC's White Happy Canelo-GGG is Done, Despite Losing "The Date"

[M Bison]

Dana started out in boxing. He was a manager if I remember correctly when he was tapped for the UFC. Good he went and said this on Colin "Boxing is Dead" Cowherd's show..

The PPV model in the USA is and the fanbase has radically died off, If you don't have a big named Mexican/British star you might as well forget about making big bucks, now boxing is basically a bunch of over privileged Yanks getting overpaid more than their worth.
An example of that would be Ward getting paid more than the unified champion in Kovalev.

In short, I think he is still right, America use to have the biggest fanbase of boxing, but now that big fanbase has divided and went on to focus on all many other sports.

The Yanks do record numbers for the super bowl, but terrible numbers for boxing events the biggest American star is Ward and he couldn't even sell out his hometown stadium, that to me is alarming.

The idea that the PPV model and the fanbase in the US has "radically died off" is hardly supported by the data. Thurman-Garcia was the highest-viewed primetime boxing broadcast since 1998. Thurman-Porter was the highest viewed boxing broadcast period in the US since 1998. May-Pac was the biggest PPV event EVER and that was two years ago. Canelo-Chavez was the first PPV not including Mayweather or Pacquiao to do a million buys since De La Hoya - Trinidad in 1999. If anything boxing has a bigger US audience now than at any time sine the late 90's..

Not gonna lie, Mayweather vs McGregor is a compete mismatch and a circus but it's a mainstream national circus.

If they were to fight on that date Canelo vs GGG would be moved no doubt about it, but I would not worry I honestly don't see Mayweather vs McGregor happening anytime soon, my guess for that fight is next year but who knows.

Well you have to understand that at the end of the day people have to pay for that mainstream national circus. It's not free. It's PPV.
You think that all the casual fans that bought Mayweather's garbage fight against Pacquiao are anxious to get ripped off again just to see a circus fight?? Lol, **** no their not!
Real boxing fans know it's a garbage fight not even worth watching. The only people who'll buy that garbage fight are real Mayweather nuttriders Connor Mcgregor nuttriders and a few idiots still. I really wish Mayweather would try to bump Canelo off that day cause HBO and Canelo would laugh at him and tell him to **** off! But like I said, Mayweather is not ******. He knows he can't compete with Canelo VS g string.

You really are a ****ing idiot for saying that. But your even ******er than I thought If you actually believe that garbage fight between Mayweather VS Connor would outsell Canelo VS g string. Mayweather is not ****** enough like you to think that he could go head to head on PPV vs Canelo on that same day. No way does Canelo give up that day for Mayweather. And Mayweather knows he won't outsell Canelo VS g string on the same day. So keep dreaming about Canelo moving from that date dumbass! 😆

i could be completely wrong here.....

but I estimate that the freak show would outsell Canelo vs Golovkin by around 250%, maybe even more

Canelo/Golovkin will do 800-900k, the freak show would sell 2mil+

no idea if that is true, just a wild guess

never underestimate Mayweather's ability to pull numbers, him and Conor are waaaaay more popular than either of those other guys..... and that fight doesn't need to make sense to purists in order to sell

Well Imma say your an idiot too for thinking that. You saw what Mayweather's last fight against Berto did. It did 400,000 ppv's. People are tired of Mayweather's boring fights and there's no way it sells 2 million ppv's. I think if the fight with Mcgregor happens it does a little over a million. But it won't outsell Canelo VS g string. I'm willing to bet money on that!
That's right, you heard it from me first! It won't outsell Canelo VS g string! And it definitely won't do more than 1.2 million ppvs!

[Chuckguy]

Wouldn't Connor Floyd outsell the ggg canelo fight?

Berto did not sell 1 PPV

Mayweather sold 3x more PPV against a cherry-picked look-good opponent who had NO chance, than Golovkin sold in a unification with Lemieux, AND in his unification with Jacobs

and McGregor brings a LOT of fans to the table

the freak show would sell DOUBLE Golovkin/Canelo EASY
