Comments Thread For: Report: Canelo-Golovkin Fight Produced 1.3 Million PPV Buys

Pretty much what I thought. I think the Mayweather fight definitely had an effect on this fight. No way a $100 ppv does 4.4 mil and does not affect a ppv a few weeks later. Plus GGG does not have mainstream drawing power. And to be honest, neither does Canelo, he just has his Mexican fan base. Hopefully the rematch does more

Very impressive for Canelo. That's 1.2M vs. Chavez Jr. and 1.3M vs. Golovkin in one year.

5.7M PPV buys for boxing in less than one month when combined with MayMac.

How? just slighly over 1 million is 1.1 million tops... everyone could see that the 2M number was not real. Glaser always does the same.

I never believed 97K. Relax

Great news

It would have done twice as much if it weren't for the May-McGregor farce.

Highly doubt it. Two totally different audiences. The boxing fans that bought May-McG also bought this fight. Would've done more if Oscar would've used that fight to promote his fight in a positive way. Oscar pissed off a lot of MMA fans being a hater. Dana White showed he was the bigger man by attending the GGG-Canelo fight.

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.

With Pugmire writing his story, we now have a solid data point to work from.

The HD/SD breakdown will likely come out later, but you're basically talking about $50m into the pot after passing all outside folks on the US PPV.

$10m-$15m headed to K2, plus their $5m off of the live event, and let's call it another $5m to K2 off of the other revenue streams, and it becomes pretty clear that Golovkin would fine a tough path to get his way to the $15m that Alvarez had offered to begin with.

This sounds a bit more reasonable. I was expecting around 800,000 to 1,000,000 buys.

That 2 million+ number sounded ridiculous and surprised me for a while, too.

[DinoCop]

I guess the roumors of Canelo vs Chaves doing 1.5 is a lie then... No way this does less. but 1.3 is good

Nyaa good question kit, now answer that you mofos.

I was expecting around the same number as well but good for them to reach 1.3 million buys. I don't know what the rematch would get given the way that the first match ended up

Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin didn't come anywhere near the "close to 3 million" domestic pay-per-view buys promoter Oscar De La Hoya predicted, but their middleweight title fight easily surpassed 1 million buys. The Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday that Alvarez-Golovkin generated 1.3 million buys in the United States. Mexico's Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs) and Kazakhstan's Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs) fought to a controversial 12-round draw September 16 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
