Is Canelo vs GGG going to flop?

[Eff Pandas]

I think Oscar should've piggy backed on this event instead of hating. The biggest fight of the year & you don't take advantage? If Oscar showed up he'd be interviewed by everyone. He should've been on sportscenter giving his opinion on the fight & using the opportunity to promote Canelo-GGG. You won't be successful in business by holding grudges.

Great point.

Oscar is so salty he's not maximizing his own opportunities to make his fight bigger of all the eyes on boxing Saturday. Canelo & GGG shoulda been ringside too.

I know that Candelita is going to be flopping like a fish out of water once lil G breaks her up.

Cant see it flopping its a great fight I think it will be a barn burner.

Well possibly, too many illegal streaming going on. If these promoters and broadcasters would wise up and lower the damn price, numbers would be up big time. Why are they still charging $65-$70 for HD ???/ SMDH. They should take a page from Eddie Hearns and keep it at or around $40 (Eddie keeps it 29.95 I think.) Or better yet, what about an app that u can pay say $15 per bout and u can watch it on ur android or apple device, no contract with a cable subscriber needed?

Absolutely. I've been saying that for years, charge like $29.99 for SD and $39.99 for HD and you'd get a hell of a lot more buys than trying to charge $79.99. That greed is a hard thing to overcome though.

no way this is going to flop. the world has been wanting this fight for awhile you have a mexican superstar in one corner a big punching undefeated monster in the other. this does at least 1 million.

Yup, I agree. I also agree that people will always stream illegally if they can but thats also because of years of trauma by those high a$$ prices, put it down and people will come back to buying PPV like in England. Imagine, 30 bucks is like 3 meals at Mcdonalds or 6 "Tall" coffees at Starbucks.

No, it won't flop. It attracts a totally different fan base. The fans who would purchase May/Mac are not the same fans that will purchase Canelo/GGG. A large majority were likely MMA fans. I think Canelo/GGG comes close to about 1.5M buys, a very respectable number.

basics. Canelo/GGG is a fight I'm buying...and I probably won't have a party

[WesternChamp]

i was thinking it'll do 1 mil, now not so sure.

[just the facts]

and that has what to do with this thread?

[CatchAndShoot]

I think they will be helped by this event (espn kept attaching this fight to floyd/conor) and it will do well- probably about 1.5 mil PPV sales at least.

This. I also noticed this too. Guys like Cowherd, and first take steady mentioned the GGG/Below fight.
