    Same guy who had 97k had Canelo-Khan at 350k too ...

    Pretty sure the correct numbers are 150k and 600k, the reputable media journalists all reported those two numbers.

    150k is pretty poor of course, but there aren't many people left who can beat it. Canelo, Pac, maybe AJ, and that's about it.

    You're kidding yourself.

    He's just done 500k with Brook, who's never been a big draw.

    The U.K. fans can't wait for his return.

    He has casual appeal.

    His popularity is gaining with each fight.

    If the Jacobs fight is on PPV, it will dwarf the Lemieux numbers.

    It was his debut you clown.

    He's not Mexican with a huge promoter.

    He comes from Khazakstan.

    The word you're looking for is: Circumstances.

    Well I suggest you go and reread the post.

    Tell me the realistic options that Canelo has if the GG fight doesn't happen.

    Give me a list.


    A Floyd rematch is highly unlikely.

    A fight with Manny isn't going to happen.

    Brook is fighting Spence.

    There's talk of BJS fighting GG in June.

    If he fights Chavez at 165, it's unlikely he'll ever fight at JMW again.

    He won't go beyond MW.


    Realistically:

    You're looking at a Cotto rematch, and possibly a rematch against Chavez, obviously depending on the outcome of their first fight.


    If GG doesn't fight Canelo, he can move up to SMW and realistically target the following fighters:

    DeGale
    Groves
    Eubank
    Ramirez
    Dirrell Bros
    Smith


    Now tell me that Canelo has more realistic options.

    You can't.

    Yeah, any fair unbias person would say do it off numbers based off ppv numbers. I'm kinda waiting for Lance to tell me if that's deemed fair or not. The only people who don't think that are people are GGG dick riders.

    They don't want the percentages based off ppv buys cause like kiwi said GGG gets 25% at best

    His next fight televised on HBO after his debut did a pathetic 800K views.

    It's not based solely on PPV percentages.

    It's based on what each guy brings to the table that makes the event what it is.

    By September, GG may have every belt in the division.

    The fight will realistically generate more PPV's than Canelo's fight with Chavez.

    GG will make a huge contribution towards the total revenue.

    Both fighters need each other.

    Yeah, you too. But I'll sit here and wait for both of you to try and prove me wrong.


    Compile a REALISTIC list of Canelo's options if he doesn't fight GG.


    His options aren't better than GG's.

    I don't expect this fight to sell. I always hope that all fights sell doe. I really don't care whether they sell or not. I just know that GG can't sell a ppv fight. That's sounds like a knock but it's his comp. Nobody knows who GG is fighting.

    You don't really think that GG has more options than Canelo lol... Canelo sells ppvs. He sells ppvs. GG doesn't.

    Yes.

    Again: It was his DEBUT.

    That's now firmly in the past.

    Times change.

    He's no longer in the same position that he was in 18 months ago.
