Comments Thread For: Canelo-GGG Rematch Earned Less $$$ From Tickets Than 1st Fight

[Butch.McRae]

that wasn't the price of the first PPV. lol it was 69.99. This one started at $85 and as high as $100 depending where you bought it. The first fight reported revenue was 110M.

This fight has already surpassed that because they hiked up the PPV cost. 1.1M sold means the live + PPV revenue of the rematch is higher then the first fight.

That revenue figure you're referring to is only regarding PPV revenue. It doesn't include the live gate and other sources.

Just look at the tables on the page. The math works itself out. You can also see it on Floyd's page. Just an FYI.

Btw, if you look at the source article for the citation it says the price was $80.

I bought both fights I paid 69.99 for it for the first fight. Go google if you don't believe it. This fight costs $85 at minimum and some had to pay $100 to watch it in HD.

per fat boy dan

The rematch between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin on Sept. 15 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas sold approximately 1.1 million pay-per-view buys, multiple industry sources have told ESPN.

That means the fight, a razor-close majority decision victory for Alvarez (50-1-2, 34 KOs) to lift the unified middleweight world title from Golovkin (38-1-1, 34 KOs), generated at least $94 million in domestic linear television sales for the HBO PPV telecast, which had a suggested retail price of $84.95 but had a higher price in most markets for those who ordered in high definition.

The pay-per-view figure was less than the first fight, a massively controversial draw last September, which generated about 1.3 million buys. However, the rematch generated more pay-per-view money because of the higher price of the telecast.

The first fight didn't do 110M off PPV sales when Dan is saying that 94M already is higher then what the first fight did on PPV sales. And revenue includes the Live Gate. 110M divide 1.3M PPV is too high you would have to sell every PPV at $85 which obviously didn't happen for the first fight because they were sold at 69.99. Then 110M is the PPVS + the Live Gate (27M from first fight). Either way this live gate made 4M less but made far more then 4M off the higher PPV prices.

Thats cool but if UFC beats this fight on October 6th what does it show? This was supposed to be the fight that helps boxing. I bet UFC does 2mil buys.

????
It just shows that the UFC has more paying fans than boxing.

Lol, yes. But you asked what will that show. It really doesn't mean anything except theres more UFC fans than boxing.

Rednecks and young kids love the UFC.

Holy **** thats a lot of rednecks!
UFC is worldwide.

The bad scorecard is the reason for that. People don't want to watch fights that are going to just end in bad decisions.

Plus Canelo ran and they expected him to run again.

[j.razor]

Why would anybody want to see a 3rd fight? GGG is only getting older.

GGG should get Murata in Japan, then gun for Saunders (if Saunders wins) in the UK.

It would be kind of sad and desperate to fight Canelo IN VEGAS again.

That just doesn't seem all that interesting imo and would mean all he's trying to do is raise retirement money.

Canelo probably won't care. He'd do it for the check and chance to stop an old man.

I don't call for fights I don't want even if its what I think would happen or even if the fighters/team don't want it so as a fan I want Jermall vs golovkin NEXT so there is less of the "he's old" talk even though he fights the same way he has for the last 5 years. So again Jermall vs golovkin! LOL
