    250k. Optimistic numbers based on the fact that GGG's name has been in the news whenever Canelo is mentioned and Chocolatito is also on the card

    150k TOPS. There is absolutely NO buzz for this fight. It's as if the fight isn't happening. Lol..

    Don't care about PPV figures. That's for *****s and *******s to fawn over. This is good fight, a title unification. Will probably do **** but who cares? Canelo/Chavez will probably do MUCH better while being a far worse fight. Amazes me how so many self-proclaimed boxing hardcores jerk off to PPV numbers and use them to prop up their fighter or bash others. Completely pathetic.

    It should be worthy of a lot more than it will get. Most casual fans don't know the names.

    that's just to show you that everyone supports their own people and as you can see Mexicans go all out to support their fighters

    Jesus man chill lol I'm not attempting to bash anyone. Just gauging what people expect this fight to do then see who was right or close come press release. Good way to see where these fighters are vs where we think they are.
    Yea I haven't seen much promotion either. Maybe they don't want to sink too much money into it knowing Jacobs hasn't had a PPV and Golovkin's last PPV was meh.

    I think this fight is really good btw. I felt like Golovkin's best options at middleweight, in this order, are 1. Saunders, 2. Jacobs and 3. Canelo.

    50K.

    1. Because its not a PPV fight

    2.There's no hype around the fight and its been way too long in the making. Jacobs win over PQ is now a distant memory and the casuals don't even remember it at all.

    3. The undercard is weak. If they wanted big numbers they should have put Lemieux vs Stevens on as chief support.

    100k or less, it would be so terrible. :(

    Tickets are not selling very well, they even drop the price. This woukd be the worst live gate
    ever.

    Seems my prediction of 50K was closest to the mark. @Richards :asskisser

    yea it was. I'm thinking the final numbers are 170 plus, right around what Ward Kov sold.
