Terrible let down for Golden Boy and boxing as a whole. #PissPoorNumbers #BoycottPPV

It's a good number but crazy how it only did 300K more than the Canelo-Chavez fight.

[Motorcity Cobra]

Some of them, yes, but all of them??? No way.

Canelo-GGG would've done way more if it weren't for the May-Mac Circus.

I said boxing fans. No way in hell a real boxing fan bought May-McG and didn't buy GGG-Canelo.

I blame Donald Trump.

Makes sense.

Canelo vs. Chavez jr did 1.2m buys + 97k = 1.3m



Great numbers, the UFC is supposed to have killed boxing and I think only 5-6 of their PPV have done that or more. The WWE has never done more then 1.2m.

Good numbers but seem kind of like a let down after the $2million+ figure was thrown out last week.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Puts it behind
Mayweather vs.Mosley and Mayweather vs Cotto

Can't believe it only did 1.3 million. I guess people were really turned off with all the Boycott Mayweather stance. He promoted Mayweather McGregor more than he did his own fight. Crackhead missed a golden opportunity to gain new fans from MMA.

e Canelo Alvarez-Gennady Golovkin middleweight title fight produced 1.3 million pay-per-view buys, the best showing between two world champion boxers since Floyd Mayweather’s record-setting 2015 triumph over Manny Pacquiao.

The figure was given to the Los Angeles Times by an individual intimately familiar with sales, but unauthorized to speak publicly on the matter. HBO televised the bout.

The sales are the best yet for Golovkin. While Golovkin, 35, didn’t exceed 200,000 buys in either of his two prior pay-per-views, Alvarez’s loss to Mayweather in 2013 surpassed 2 million buys. Alvarez generated 1 million buys in May while defeating Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. by unanimous decision, and had 900,000 buys in his November 2015 triumph over four-division champion Miguel Cotto.

A Golden Boy Promotions executive declined to comment on the sales figure, and Golovkin promoter Tom Loeffler was not immediately available for comment.
