Canelo v. Lara under 300K PPVs buys. Is that a flop.

    Exactly. Some real fans of this sport, no wonder fighters fight who would make them the most money instead of who the "hardcore" fans want to see. under 300k for a canelo fight against someone who was the other top fighter in the division is a joke.

    Lara isn't black? Oh, so I guess Anderson Silva and Sammy Sosa aren't either? What the hell does nationality, language and/or culture have to do with race?

    can't blame this on canelo, crappy undercard and headlining opponent according to casuals. if the fight was on showtime it would have 3 times as many viewers.

    I thought Canelo was the reason why Floyd broke the ppv record?

    Unfortunately as respected as Lara is amongst the hardcore boxing community, he has NO following in general.

    Like it or not Canelo can draw at the gate...but we all know that's peanuts compared to the PPV, he is not there yet to support a PPV boxing card on his own name.... And honestly I don't think he will....
