$3.5mil is good number as compared to $8mil for a guy who earned $15mil more in his previous fight at the same venue. That number is way low for a Canelo fight and I don't see how you and the Golden Boy/DAZN guys can even help spin that fact.

Idk how a -600ish (or w/e that line was) betting favorite fight doing $8.6M & being the 34th biggest gate revenue generating fight in NV history is a bad thing in anyway.
Hell man this might be among the top ten biggest revenue generating fights for such a wide favorite fight in the last 20 years. If its not in the top ten for wide favorite fights I'd bet its close to being inside that range.

While Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder don't.

Originally posted by Eff Pandas View PostManny did these types of numbers when he was right up there with Floyd & when Floyd was AWOL with boxing. These numbers are the 34th best revenue numbers in NV boxing history. Its surely among the best numbers worldwide & it was a fight where Canelo was a big favorite & most thought the fight was uncompetitive largely.
Its not worthy of a victory lap or anything, but its definitely not "disastrous". This ain't the Hurrican Katrina of boxing events ffs.

But I'll play along with your Reverse Frankie2Jabs DAZN Weirdo Agenda bs you on these days.
I say it'd have done 500ish. Give or take 100k. Jacobs wasn't seen as a threat & doesn't have the biggest fanbase. Fight lives & dies on Canelo's fanboys not unlike the Khan fight (which iirc was announced as 600k, but in court docs was only 450k but anyone feel free to correct me on this if I'm incorrect on the specifics).
