    PPV buying people are not as ****** as you think.
    I hope you're right, I really do!

If I guess you can keep telling yourself otherwise if it makes you feel better but it won't make it true


      like I said, Latino fans determine who wins the PPV battle. it is just a fact of history. latino fans are the only reason big boxing PPV overcame UFC PPV's.



      Latino fans this time will buy Canelo/GGG on the mexican holiday.


      Floyd is not as big of a draw as he thinks. Mcgregor fans will not support him taking the L in a mismatch. mismatches do not sell.

        Maybe so, i can remember Eddie Hearn stating that sometimes its a marketing ploy to announce fights late! (Because the sheeple have memories like Gold Fish! You have to hit them hard and fast!)...

          It'll do plenty. Enough to shatter records. This is silly.

            I'd imagine it wouldn't break 1.5 even considering the demographic change in audience. UFC fans will support McGregor, but they typically do not support boring fights (why Silva never got huge even though he was phenominal fighter)...and they know this will be boring.

              fans do not support mismatches.


              would Floyd fans buy his PPV fighting Cain Velasquez in MMA?

              Would Pac fans buy his PPV fighting Jon Jones in MMA?


              Conor fans love him. fanatically. they will not buy this PPV to watch him take an L

              there just has been no precedent that a 10-1 mismatch will sell.

              there's no suspense.

                People are silly for thinking this fight won't break 2 mil buys with ease.

                  mayweather pooped the bed on his big night. huge disappointment.


                  his next fight got 400K PPV on a latino holiday.

                  now he's coming back with the biggest mismatch in his career without the support of latino fans on a mexican holiday.



                  logically this fight is not going to do well. the reaction you see in the media is smoke and mirrors. the hype will die. GGG/Canelo will be the fight that the latinos will buy.


                  it actually has competition and suspense.

                    It will be interesting to see what fights are on the under-card!

                      LMFAO Love Latin Fans, Mexican Fans are the BEST Boxing Fans in the world right up their with UK Fans but that is a SMALL % very small it is not as big as you think and I thought for so long.

                      What drives up PPV buys are CASUAL CAUCASIAN AMERICAN SPORTS FANS! This is what drives up PPV Buys, THIS is why Oscar De La Hoya was a big Superstar, THIS is why Mayweather is a Big Superstar.

                      UFC putting up big numbers without Latin Fans so explain that? Biggest Draw in UFC History is BROCK LESNAR? WHY because he brought out a HUGE WHITE 16-35 year old Demographic from the WWE and most of them are Caucasian. I don't think they do 5 Million but it will do GREAT Numbers

                      So no Sorry that typical boxing fanbase won't effect anything if we buy the event or save our money for GGG vs Canelo because the Casual Sports Fan is GLUED IN ALREADY the Buzz is already going STRONG the amount of Bets being Placed in Vegas is Staggering already.

                      Lets the Experts speak on this they know far more than you and I do:

                      but of course you will just continue to reply with your BS trying to convince yourself and others that "THIS WON'T SELL MUCH"
