Canelo vs Chaves PPV did between 600k/700k

I don't watch UFC, but from what I've seen they sell their card not the main event as is done boxing.

Their cards always seem to be stacked as opposed to boxing where no one really cares about the undercard.

It's really two different forms of advertising, UFC is promoting and selling their brand while Boxing is strictly a fighter as the focal point.

If that was the case then all UFC PPVs would do the same numbers.

All boxing media? Like who?

serious question?

Oscar De La Hoya is the only party who's been talking about the fight doing 1m PPV buys; the talks are still coming in, but the early talk from most of the steady folks has been the event eventually closing in on 900k-950k PPV buys, with the possible chance of crossing that 1 million mark.

Sound more realistic but still good numbers!

How exactly? Do all nfl games get the same numbers?

Of course not, certain matchups are going to draw more interest, but no one is watching specifically for one player.

Exactly. So its not the brand, its the fighters.

canelos fight with smith, who no one knew, still made more then GGGs fights with lemmy and jacobs.

but GGG is a draw doe, according to the ducking boy GGGoons.

What? No, the NFL is #1 show on tv because it's the best advertised. They'll get higher ratings than any other sport regardless of who they throw on tv. The quality of the matchups will obviously have a positive impact on the ratings.

It's illogical to think they'll get exactly the same ratings for all their cards.

You brought up the chicks fight, and they've been the headline of a PPV each single time the belt was on the line regardless of who won. First it was Holm, then the girl that beat her, and now that brazilian chick. And if she takes an L it'll be next girl up for the next PPV.

How would that same scenario work out in boxing? It wouldn't.

golovkin fans dont work like that....lol

it has to be golovkin did an easy 150k while canelo barely did 600k lol

these clowns were telling us how canelos fans had turned their backs on him and how his 250k against liam friggin smith was "bad"...lol

Exactly GGG fans upset because this fight did great numbers. Even if you buy glaser crap remember he was the same guy who said when floyd was selling 1m or slightly under he was really only selling 600k. And that Pacquiao was doing half that. So if we go strictly off the grading curve of glaser then canelo/Chavez sold more ppvs then the last 4-5 Floyd fights outside of him fighting Pacquiao. And more then any recent Pacquiao outside of floyd. It out did canelo/cotto which glaser said did only 600k. These numbers are a homerun if you compare to glaser numbers. If you go by media outlets ESPN reporting the fight will land at 1.2m buys.

Like I said pick your poison use glaser numbers then GGG did 97k canelo did 700k. You want to go by media outlets GGG did 150k and Canelo did over 1m. the most ppvs outside of manny vs floyd in the last 4 years. Last fight that did more was canelo vs floyd. Canelo is without a doubt the new ppv king.
