    Plus technology and the fact that everyone wants everything free which sucks for the copywrite laws of materials and programming. Things cost money to make so it's impossible to make it free lol

    Who knows but I doubt it will. I think it will be close to Oscar-Tito number 1.4M.
    The whole 1M from last weekend buyers will definitely tune in. In comparison Mayweather Canelo did 2.2M, and GGG is definitely not close to Mayweather drawing power.

    No. Maybe if it was a decent price. But it won't be. I'll thinking 79 or more dollars. These guys are not super popular in America to justify that kind of money from the average sports fan. 19.99-29.99 would do it throu.

    No, because the price is going to be too high. Will be 1.3M to 1.5M I think.

    Lol no. It doesn't matter how much they hype and promote the fight, I'll be surprised if it does more than 1 million.

    The Lemmy-GGG fight was the most heavily promoted fight in the last 5 years and sold about 100k. GGG just isn't a draw.

    Until the numbers for Canelo/Chavez came out I didn't even
    think Canelo/Golovkin would do a million. I think Canelo's
    star power and the fact he's fighting a perceived monster in
    Golovkin will push them to the million mark. 2 million? No way,
    only fighter that breaks two million would be if Floyd came back
    and fought Canelo, or Floyd/Pac 2, (because no matter how bad
    the first fight was, people would still pay for it).

    Honestly, originally I thought Canelo-GGG was going to be Cotto-Canelo with 900k buys, but now I have changed my mind.

    I said Canelo vs. Chavez does over 1 mil buys, and it did. But I didn't know they were gonna announce the fight there (actually i did, but only when i say GGG on screen)

    There's gonna be hype around this fight like maypac, I reckon it does 1.8 million buys.
