More people are interested in GGG-Brook and no one gives a **** about Canelo-Smith. This is really bad signs for Canelo, his stock took a HUGE hit... For the so-called new face of boxing, when a guy who can only pull 100k PPV buys gets more attention than a PPV superstar who has done like 4+ million PPV buys you know theres something wrong
Of course it has more interest, why not include the aspect of who they are fighting? Who is Liam Smith? I know who Kell Brook is...
Canelo-Khan is not Canelo-Smith. There was a good bit of interest in Canelo-Khan, but bare none in Canelo-Smith.
Canelo PPV: sources from 300k - 600k GGG PPV: sources from 97k - 150k So by my reckoning, between 3 and 4 times what GGG did. Of course Khan is a bigger name than Lemieux, so the actual drawing power is probably a little less. Will be interesting to see how Canelo-Smith and GGG-Brook do.
I feel sorry for Brook imagine if he got the cotto or canelo fights i would favor him strongly he only had to go after Golovkinatsch
