    I know it would be huge in Canada.
    The gate there should do extremely well.
    But would this be the largest PPV fight for Hopkins in his career?

    Is this a fuking joke?

    Even 50k is questionable. ROFL.

    The only time Nard was on PPV was when he fought Oscar. And we all know it wasn't Bernard who brought fans in.

    So you saying that Stevenson doesn't have any fans, and a LHW unification bout is meaningless to boxing fans?
    Personally I think it would be a huge bout for Canadians and true fans of boxing in the US.

    So basically even if Hopkins matches with Stevenson and then Kovalev, neither of these matches have enough pull to do even 500,000 PPV buys?

    You dont know your ****. He did PPV´s vs Pavlik, De La Hoya, Tarver, Taylor, Trinidad and Dawson. I might be missing a fight or two.

    A PPV against Stevenson might actually pull in slightly over 300 000 and be profitable. The only downside would be a mediocre undercard.

    No one in Canada cares about boxing. None of my friends even know who stevenson is even casual boxing fans.

    PAC just did 800K buys vs a P4P well known fighter in bradley.

    No one cares about Hopkins... I would be shocked with 500 buys

    Hopkins is a very very hard PPV sell.
