Canelo isn't near the PPV draw everyone thought. 460k buys?

    460k buys vs Amir Khan? No way he can demand a 90/10 split. 60/40 for GGG would be fair.

    Actually it's 600k with $7.4 million in ticket sales

    Still more than pacs last fight

    Not bad for a fight some people called a mismatch

    That's actually a lot of buys for a fight that was marketed as a mismatch. He's a huge draw. He did better than Mayweather and Pacquiao.

    I've seen 460k and then Golden Boy claiming "close to 600k".

    Doesn't matter if it was a mismatch it had good hype. Speed vs. Power. It was a good fight but Khans glass jaw couldn't take it.



    Pac Bradley III was between 400-500k and it was a fight nobody wanted to see as he already handled Bradley 2x rather easily.

    Live gate for it was considered a flop at 6.4 million.

    It's not a lot of buys for they hype. Cotto vs. Canelo did 1 million.

    If Canelo fought berto or bradley it would have been 200k or less buys.

    I think it's pretty good. Not everyone can rake in Floyd and Pacquaio numbers. He's the biggest draw going today, that's pretty obvious.

    How many of the buys were due to him fighting Khan? Khan is far from a no name.

    You're an idiot. Everybody with a brain thought canelo va khan was a joke of a fight cause khan is a smaller fighter with a terrible chin. Not many was thrilled with pac vs Bradley 3 but I would bet all my money more ppl gave Bradley a better chance then they give khan cause Bradley fought pac twice and he got a better trainer in atlas. You saying this cause you're a biased, bandwagon Pacquiao fan trying to defend Pacquiao last ppv buys which were around 400k which it wasn't good in Pacquiao draw standard.

    You can't put a Name vs a No Name on PPV and expect it to sale. Both parties played a part in its success.

    Ggg last ppv fight which the ppv buys was 150k. 150k vs around 400k or 500k of canelo? 90/10 seems to be about right. Canelo ppv main event fights vs angulo, mayweather, cotto, khan, which were all 4 were over 400k +. Slap yourself.

    Canelo vs Bradley would do over 400k cause style wise that would be an exciting fight for as long as it last cause Bradley doesn't move around like khan does and Bradley chin is better then khan that's clearly for sure. Look if canelo vs khan did over 400k or close to 600k, why can't canelo vs Bradley? Paxman you making yourself look bad log off.

    Was Atlas a better trainer for Bradley? He got put on the canvas twice with Atlas in his corner.


    Bradley was +215 and Khan was +290. I am sure both lines changed but thats what I found with a quick search.


    I am not bringing this up to defend Pacquiao. I just thought this fight would have done as much as the Cotto fight. Cotto is old and shot.

    Bradley doesn't do PPVs as the main draw. Whats he been on 4 PPV cards? 3 were pacquiao and one with JMM that did 375k buys?

    Bradley doesn't draw many fans. Without JMM or Pacquiao he is fighting the free fights on HBO in little venues.

    I'm not hating on bradley I love watching him fight. Dude goes to war.
