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

****** De La Hoya telling us this would sell 3mil... I knew it wouldn't even hit 1.5 mil. McGregor UFC PPVs sell more than this fight did.

Considering how Floyd cut in front of GGG/Canelo's fight, this fight still generated solid numbers and the real fans responded. Proof that boxing is far from dead. Only imbeciles continue spewing that nonsense.

Boxing is dead. This fight because of the poor judging pushed it further down the grave.

The rematch sells less....

I expected this fight to sell around 1.2 million, which is good numbers by any standard. Anything that breaks one million in the age of pirated streams, firesticks, and those who wait an hour to see it on Youtube, is big numbers.

Golden Boy just said that 1.3 isn't an accurate number and they're waiting for all the numbers to come in.

If Boxing is dead than so is the UFC. Jones-Cormier II only did about 850K, that was suppose to be the biggest fight in UFC history.

so you are assuming that not a single person bought the fight in HD? Wait, of course you are. Anything to minimize the success of the event.

You can talk all the smack you want, but I would pretty much guarantee that between the PPV, $27 mil at the gate, closed circuit, movie theaters, sponsors, and overseas rights, this event did over $100 million in NET revenue. So I find it hard to envision a scenario where Loeffler would have accepted a split that nets GGG less than $20 million based on this revenue.

Bottom line is I dont know the split, and neither do you. Im just glad that he made a bunch of money, and his family is now set for life. And if it makes you feel better about yourself to think that he somehow left money on the table, I guess thats your business.......lol

1.3m homes at $80 per PPV (the broadcaster is said to keep the HD fee anyway, but will ignore that here) gets you to $105m in total PPV revenue.

Cable/satellite/broadcaster takes half and the promoters (Canelo/Oscar/K2) are left with just over $50m. lol. Not sure where the confusion was.

And folks are overselling the take on the gate too; MGM Resorts ended up with 40% of the tickets for the fight off top, with Oscar/Loeffler spitting up the remaining 60%. That immediately takes the face value of the tickets that went to the promoters from the stated $27m for the fight, down to under $17m. (secondary market tickets could've ended up wherever).

Where you find that other $35m in NET revenue is beyond me.

Glaser getting his credibility back

He doesn't know what the fk he's talking about. And you're sucking that Jew ****.

[PoserExposer]

Well for Canelo to have fought a "no name" after the biggest circus in town, this fight sure AF did better than any active boxer could've. I don't know what planet you're watching fights at but to say boxing is dead is only your opinion and certainly not a popular one.

This has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. You actually think that Golden Boy / K2 comped 40% of the gate to MGM just for the hell of it????


Just when you think you've heard it all.



(and as for any tickets MGM received to give out to their high rollers, google the term "site fee")

For someone who allegedly was a fight promoter, you sure do miss a lot.

For Mayweather-Pacquiao, are you honestly arguing that MGM Resorts didn't get 40% of the tickets (when only 1000 tickets made it to the general public)?

You played yourself

do you actually think MGM didnt PAY for those tickets? Are you ******ed or something?

It would probably cost less than $150k to rent the TMobile arena for a night, but you are claiming that Golden Boy gave them about $12 million in tickets for FREE???????

Dude, we all know you hate GGG, and pretty much all light skinned people, but this raises things to a whole new level of ******ation. Casinos BUY the tickets. Thats what a "Site fee" basically is. Its the casino telling the promoter "hey, bring your event here and we will buy half the gate" or whatever.

I cant believe you are dumb enough to thing the casino gets the tickets for free. Wait, actually, yes, I can believe you are that dumb.......
