    Ah, by that logic Canelo-Smith should have crushed Canelo-Golovkin. AT&T stadium seats 100,000. What happened there?

    So if Canelo is the sole draw why couldn't he fill more empty seats and charge more for the tickets???

    How about this, PPV requires no venue, then why did CaneloGGG sell more ppv buys than CaneloCotto?

    You are too easy.

    100k tickets against a guy nobody ever heard of?? lol , you're stupid. Selling 55 thousand seats against a Britbum is an achievement in its self. GGG couldn't sell those numbers against the #1 rated MW in the world.

    Easy answer - it was a better match-up..

    Anything else?

    Good, you just agreed that Canelo wasn't the only one responsible for the draw but GGG was as well. Good job at contradicting your original statement.

    Again, too easy. As usual.

    Wow Superstar Canelo Alvarez is more popular than I thought.

    Imagine if he fought someone who was actually known

    3rd and 4th biggest gates off all times

    I never disputed that. I disputed a claim that it was solely GGG who pulled in those numbers. It was Canelo brought in the majority those numbers , not GGG.

    You have an argument , but you don't fully understand what it is. Maybe read posts a few times over to get a better understanding of the situation in future.

    Wow no wonder Canelo got a gift draw.

    The whole place full of trigger-happy gingers.

    Then we have an understanding.

    Of course Canelo draws more in this fight. I didnt see anyone claim he doesn’t. It’s common sense. Your statement was understood as Canelo being the sole draw.

    Of course he is the B side to Canelo that's obvious. I'm just throwing a jab at those that insisted GGG take the 10 million.

    There were thousands of tickets still available the day before the fight. Didn't sell out.

    I posted the Ticketmaster link here myself. I witnessed the empty seats with my own eyes.
