    Wrong. HBO PPV produced and distributed the fight. They have the numbers and did not release it. Only time they don't release the numbers is if it fell way below expectation.

    It's been 4 days. They have the numbers and will probably not release it. The total isn't being tallied by some accountant in the backroom on pen and paper. The PPV transaction are made through high power servers. Each Cable and Satellite provider knew the Number Sunday morning.

    Rick Glaser comes out after every PPV and claims the real numbers are lower than released. He also said Canelo - Cotto did 650k.

    Not bad

    That means it brought in $21 million on ppv in the US alone

    300K is sh.it. for the supposedly face of boxing! 200K more than GGG who according to many is a nobody. Mmmm makes you wonder....

    Is that confirmed? 300k wouldn't be good but he was fighting a guy nobody has heard of before.

    GGG v Lemieux was hyped as a 50/50 fight and a dangerous one for GGG and it flopped hard on PPV.

    Anything over 200,000 is great, since Canelo Vs a Nobody, wasn't a real PPV event anyway.
    The event was more a tune-up for feeding Canelo's Texas fan base and getting Jerry Jones's org in-line for future mega-fights.
    Whatever PPV revenues came in are in addition to the 50,000 gate.
    If Canelo can bring in 50,000 fighting a nobody like Smith, than Canelo Vs "A Named opponent", should be astronomical Texas gate numbers. Perhaps as high as 90,000.

    They wont go to Texas. Has to be Vegas as the casino's put up the money and Vegas is where the high rollers are.

    I predicted 200-250k and I'm sticking to that.

    That's a wide spread - you gotta narrow it down to within 10,000 to get props.

    Bad sign figures not released.

    Jerry Jones said he's going to put a high bid in for the fight


    It could be a sellout
