    It's less than I would have expected with Canelo supposed to be the next big PPV star. 300,000 is not a strong showing but it's not a total disaster either.

    How the heck is Canelo going to take Cinco De Mayo back from Mayweather with those poor numbers?

    As a comparison, Judah vs. Mayweather did 350,000 buys BEFORE Mayweather fought the cash cow of boxing at the time, Delahoya. Canelo fought the cash cow of this era, Mayweahter, two fights ago and still is not breaking 500,000 PPV buys.

    What gives?

    Perhaps, but the numbers seem to validate the idiotic.

    If,in fact the event generated $15 million,I am certain all parties involved are very pleased and all went home with a very nice payday.:deal

    Great that PPVs are flopping in both UFC and boxing. Good riddance for the whole concept.
