    and which idiot trolls said 500k for the GGG/Lemmy fight?

    MVC also said Mayweather would KO Pac.

    I have questioned the source of the 97K non sense since the get go. Ibdont think it's that reliable. Then someone popped up next with less than 90K.

    I would say it was about 120Kish.

    Wrong

    Only way to make real money for GB is Golovkin, its clear as crystal, the numbers are there, it dont matter 100k or 150k plus or minus
    The days of 900k are over for Canelo
    Cotto was the last "name" he could've fought
    And GGG remains the only one. Thats it
    Every PPV Canelo will put will be around 300k .
    This is not great for the so called new face of boxing.
    People will buy PPV's if TWO stars fight against eachother, but other than that no
    And the suits know this, its right there in my post
    Canelo Cotto 900k
    Canelo Smith 300k

    You do the math

    I'm never disappointed by fights like this because now I know that if you attack Crawford, he is going to bring it. He said Postol didn't want it. I believe him. And he lives to prove it in future fights.

    A bunch of the GGGOONS said that... I can't recall which one specifically because there's so many of them.

    Would you say 250k PPV buys is a good look for Canelo?

    I'd say 300k which is more realistic, is his average..

    Not good, but not bad. I predicted 350k.

    UFC is not surviving because of sports bars...
    It's surviving because of Conor McGregor.

    AJ does upwards of 600,000 PPV buys in the UK & Ireland. UK & Ireland population is 60 mil while USA is 320 million. That's 1/5 of the population, yet does more than Canelo. Why? Because they have a star there, and it won't be long before either canelo or joshua becomes a star in the US

    PPV is alive and well...for the right fights.

    All the Canelo fans on here need to wake up and smell Oscars bull **** even Kellerman someone who has stayed silent over this until now is telling it how it is,Golden boy are milking his fans to see complete mismatches where a 154 guy is up against a 175lb monster,just admit to yourselves and demand better from your star,Canelo can fight who he wants because everyone wants to fight him and yet all you keep getting is mismatches and poor under cards.

    Canelo might not be the ducking type but Oscar is.

    Until GGG can start selling more than 350k on his own against Domestic fighters, that won't even be realistic..

    Losing power? He did about the same vs Kirkland and Lara. I wouldn't count the Mayweather and Cotto fights.
