Word is that GGG-Canelo sold 2 Million PPV's

Jury is still out on the actual numbers but anyone with half a brain, and no hate in their hearts could tell you this fight would crack the 1.5 mill buys.

 

You do realize that those numbers are insane. Kinda like May-Pac doing 4.6.
People expected high numbers but damn.
Cotto-Alvarez couldn't crack 1mil. Just think about it.

 

That's pretty damn good, especially for not having the names Mayweather, Pacquiao, or Cotto in there.

 

Canelo is a bona fide PPV star, let's hope that this fight will rub some of that on GGG.

 

Expectations of less than a mill were valid

This fight just blew expectations out of the window. I don't think anyone really expected these numbers, especially post MayMac

2 mill is a ridiculous number, to put it in perspective people say the UFC is taking over boxing in the USA but the UFC had never come close to 2mill.

Hate it or love it #CaneloGGG has put boxing back on the map post Mayweather

 

I would argue they are now both PPV stars, it takes 2 to tango.


GGG will never sell less than 250k again IMO, he is now a bona-fide star

Canelo has surpassed Pacquiao as the second highest PPV attraction over the last 4 years(since Canelo had his first PPV fight), only Floyd is above him.

I hope GGG's PPV status picks up momentum from here on.

 

I thought it'd do a bout a million, if it did that much, Awesome. I consider
that a win for the sport as a whole.

 

Who's word? I don't doubt that the fight had the potential to do those numbers but there must be an article where people can read for themselves on the speculation of the numbers.

 

If this is true its great for boxing and Im happy for the sport.

 

I read somewhere it was slightly over 1m

 

Rick Glaser today said the fight sold just over 1 million buys

 

Glaser always has a low number, he said Canelo-Khan was only 300-350k, Canelo-JCC Jr was only 700-750k according to him, etc.

Personally I think the mainstream media or the ESPN/HBO official number is more accurate, we saw the tax files proving that they were correct for the Canelo-Khan fight anyway.
