    My estimations 1.2-1.3 million.

    Coulda done 1.35-1.5 with Canelo but what the hell.

    And please don't say Cano/Morales dragged up the PPV buys. :rofl

    Mayweather is a MAJOR attraction in the African American community, the Mexican community, Britain, Canadians, etc etc

    For those who say he won't break at tleast 1m PPV buys can gtfo.

    question for mvc

    Do you actually want floyd to fight the best fighters available and be in competetive fights.

    Or are PPV Number, money earned, considering risk/reward ratio, remaining undefeated more important to you as a fan

    Ofc the best fighters, but Floyd was just in life and death in jail. He's a natural 147 and Guerrero is the best 147 ATM. Im fair to all fighters. But when you have guys going "he's dodging Martinez," that's when you know those guys dksab

    Yes sir! Ask the average Joe down the street who canelo is and you get a crazy look
    Look. Of course it would get better ppvs with canelo. But remember mayweather is the draw over canelo. Canelo is no Oscar. He may be huge in Mexico, but in the states on hardcores really care.

    Everyone wants to see Void fight Sergio Martinez, but Void is afraid and for good reason. Martinez has offered to fight Void at 154 or even 150, so where is Void. Void is even afraid of Alvarez, instead he will fight a featherweight!

    Remember when Canelo boosted the PPV sales of Mosley-Mora? Those nunbers shot thru the roof...oh wait.

    If Canelo was such a boost he'd be headlining his own PPV's already. I bet the Trout fight is on regular network TV because he ain't as big a star as some of you think.

    When you read "Guerrero is the best 147" you know this is a troll thread

    May weather and PAC are the two main draws. JJM may better than Manny, but Manny is the draw. Unless they are fighting a big name, Canelo, JMM don't do crap at the ppv boxoffice

    HBO ratings is not ppv ratings.:roll:

    He's afraid of Canelo and simply will not fight him - especially if Canelo beats Trout which is a big IF - Floyd will stay away from these guys and stick to the Guerreros and Alexanders of the world and offer his fans the type of entertainment they love - Floyd without his shirt on laughing while they spend their money on his crap fights

    it is about legacy. Not about PPV buys. Floyd fighting Guerrero will not help his legacy.

    That's the point his fans don't get - in Floyd's mind his legacy is his 0 and his marketability is his 0. He doesn't care about giving fans great fights, he cares about maintaining that 0 and draining more PPV cash out of his fans...

    He won't do just fine without Canelo, and the OP knows it. It's the difference between Ikea horse meatballs and grade A microwaveable processed foodstuffs. You don't wanna know what that difference is like, and I don't know.
