$80 PPV price for Canelo-Golovkin. What happened to $50 PPVs?

I think i'll watch it at the casino on the big screen. Free event, free drinks.

Same thing I did for Mayweather-McGregor.

Makes sense it would be at a casino as these fights are very expensive for regular bars to buy. And if they get caught showing it without the proper licenses they are in for huge fines. At least in the U.S anyways.

It's illegal to show this fight in my country. Nobody is allowed to watch this fight! Of course with the exception of myself and a few top brass Generals that kiss my fat ass every day.

[CatchAndShoot]

This fight is completely worth it. Gonna be watching it on my buddies 50" Samsung, can't freaking wait for tonight! Will 9 o'clock get here already!!!!

They're pushing people to streams.

It'll reflect in the final numbers.

I think Canelo Is a little more credible.

"I'll tell you the truth of what happened," Alvarez said in Spanish through translator Eric Gomez. "Why would I give up the weight? I'm at 154. I'm the 154-pound champion.


"I wouldn't do that. But when the (fight) negotiations started, they wanted me to go to 147. I said that's physically impossible. I couldn't do it. Then they inched up to 150. I said I can't do it, that's impossible. Those days are over. I can't make that weight anymore, I've grown.

"Then they went up to 151. And then finally, so we could make the fight, I said, 'If anything, I'll give up two pounds. I'll go up to 152. I agreed to that. Then they tried to force me to be quiet and not to mention anything that they came up with the weight of 152. And that's why ... I haven't said anything until now.

"They said we were idiots, we were ******, that we were the ones that wanted the catchweight."

Those were quotes from Canelo. Fact is he offered the weight concession so he could have an excuse after an over the hill 20lb smaller old man beat on him all night. B1tch move. Just take the loss and shut up.

Yep you are exactly correct

"It's what I want, the Mayweather fight. That's what we put on the table. I feel more mature and for that I am willing to go down to 150 pounds," said Canelo

The fine will stand against Canelo Álvarez, who weighed in at 151.8 pounds and will forfeit $70,000 of his $350,000 purse. The Hatton camp asked Alvarez to try to lose the weight, which he agreed to do after a spirited discussion. When he came back to the scale about an hour later, he failed to make the limit of 150, when he in at 151.4 on the scale.


I think I'll go with history. Canelo has already broke the record for Catchweight fights.

Play Station 4 ????

If you paid 100 bucks for the fight a few weeks back, don't b1tch about 80 for a way better fight especially if you are so called a boxing fan.

[rickJen]

Lol he's so pretentious. He's acting like real fans won't stream this fight too.

I'm buying it and I didn't purchase May-McG but this guy is a jackass who's just talking out of his a$$.

Pretentious?
Bro, I could smell bias miles away.
Were you talking about inflation when May/Maidana 1 and 2 was being sold at $80 PPV?
Exactly.

[MrRolltide91]

Don't buy it....
