Canelo vs Chavez PPV did between 600k/700k

Who's numbers can you really trust? Probably nobody's.

 

Not so great considering it was supposed to be the most important fight between Mexicans in many years.
But PPV viewer numbers, like cable subscribers, are going down down down because obviously you can stream this stuff and not pay for it. Or so I'm told.

 

You can't compare it to previous fights as they generally involved two premier Mexican fighters in pick em fights. Chaves is not elite and this was a fight nobody thought Canelo could lose. It's a good number!!!

Who is going to watch Chavez next fight? His a nobody.

From my living memory I can think of:
Morales v Zaragoza
JMM v Barrera
Barrera v Morales
Vazquez v Marquez

All fights which had genuine debate on who would win. That simply wasn't the case with Canelo v Chavez

 

The 1 million buys thing was Oscar's doing, more than anything.

That said, 600k is still a very good buyrate for what turned out to be a thoroughly one-sided affair.

 

Yesterday he was lying ... but today he's telling the truth!

 

To be honest I'm surprised anyone bought the garbage obvious from the get go it was a fixed fight

 

It was one of the worst PPV's I've ever seen, a total joke.

In fact Canelo's last 3 PPV's have been awful. If this done 600k like Glassar says then that's poor tbh. Canelo isn't the draw that people think, he's big in Mexico but doesn't have worldwide appeal that Mayweather, Pacquiao or now Anthony Joshua has.

A lot of that has to do with him hand-picking fights vs 147lb opponents, and also the fact that he just isn't that good.

 

Rick Glasser GGG Leumiux 97k, Others publication number 150k.
Rick Glasser Canelo Chavez 600-700k, Other publication number 1M+.
It seems that Rick number is always 50% less than the other sources.
Which ever number you quote is fine but be consistent with your argument lol. Canelo has around 3x the drawing power of GGG, I don't think that's in question.
Anyway Im glad all the bickering to who deserving what has stop, the fight was signed. Both parties are happy and so we should as well. Judging by the interest, I think we will discuss this fight till years to come lol.

 

where is the link on twitter? i'm not seeing any tweets on this.

 

If They were Fighting again in my Back Yard I would pull the Blinds.!!!!

 

Not sure who the hell this Glaser guy is but he seems to be getting a lot of mileage out of these mini controversies.

 

What does Kush think of these numbers

 

Oh sheet it only did 10X more than GGG's PPV? That means GGG should get 1/10th the pay!

 

So May-Pac was only 2 .5m buys?
