    What adult male says "SAWWWEY"???

    And your pinky toe probably has more weight than him but not knowledge there Tubbs.

    Don't get the 8th Street Latina treatment in front of everyone again Senorita. Knock back a few more Bud Lites and chill the **** out.

    Good. I hope these fighters realize to make money in the US you need to fight on CBS or NBC etc. Get exposure, grow your name. If you want PPV money its available in england.

    Can you imagine how big Joshua and Wilder might be in the US if they fought on NBC? Two big, charismatic, good looking ko artists. I doubt Hearn and Joshua will let it happen on free tv. Its obvious they want to use Wilder to get exposure in the US. Best way would be to fight on NBC or CBS. I'm interested what they do.

    He's pretty much knocking everyone out. People like dangerous, exiting fighters and are interested in canelo vs ggg.

    I think international PPV online streaming might be the way to go. Make it real cheap like $10 but accessible to everyone. I know the networks wont like it but you can really open the market up bigtime. Just my business opinion.

    Just heard from Canelo himself. It did 10k.

    Fights off. Canelo is ATG. Not scared of no mother ****er. We mexicans dont **** around.

    Even if it was 1k ppv you'd probably still say it was amazing?

    Fact is that the expectation was 200k, so the ppv number is a bit disappointing, although not a flop.

    I think noone should overlook the fact that it wasn't GGGs idea to make this a PPV, that was all on Team Jacobs. Team GGG wanted this as a regular HBO fight on december 10th.

    How are you going to blame Jacobs when it's HBO not paying for world championship fights? It's HBO's fault and they'll never release real numbers unless forced to because it flopped.

    HBO certainly wasn't pushing for a PPV;) It was the only way to meet team Jacobs (highly unfounded) demands.
