Golden Boy and ROC Nation have dropped the ball BAD!!

I think they believe this fight might sell itself similar like Mayweather-Pacquiao did. And I think it will sell, but it obviously won't come close to the long awaited megafight. They call it the biggest fight between Mexico-Puerto Rico... Biggest fight my ass. Sanchez-Gomez and Chavez-Camacho will always be the best.

 

They don't do that with white people too much, mostly PR's, you know, that how rivalry thing, some people take it too far.

 

Well, you also have to consider we have gained about a 100 mil population in the U.S. alone since then. I know what you mean but as far as potential audience it is bigger.

 

What ya think 600-700k?

I don't think this comes near a mil

Then again I don't think any ppv will

 

The most important fight right now in boxing is Klitschko vs Fury.

 

so I'm supposed to be excited about two guys who got handled by Floyd and neither is amped to fight GGG?

 

These dont sound like the words of a boxing fan to me. They sounds like the words of a very negative person.

I cant see how you cant be excited about this fight.

 

400k break even on the purses

What about venue costs, promo fees, etc etc etc?

 

I think the fight will sell decent numbers.
Both fighters are well known, tried and true veterans of the sport. It's an intriguing match up where litterally anything can happen. Canelo is a huge favorite, but something is telling me in my gut that Cotto may be able to use his ring experience effectively against Canelo, as Mayweather did. Cotto is defintely no James Kirkland, and I wouldn't be surprised if Cotto catches Alvarez with a good left hook.

Either way, this should be a good fight, but it's promotions were very poorly executed which may very well be show the signs of the financial and management deficiencies in GBP and Roc Nation promotional organizations.
Or perhaps Al Haymon is just making them look like amateurs?

Luckily, the names of Cotto and Alvarez are big enough recogizable names to generate a great deal of interest. I expect the fight to do decent PPV numbers of 500-800K.

 

They're a little odd, they're not like other minorities or even other Hispanics. Oddly enough, they act closer to southern whites than anyone else imo.

 

I think the GGG part plays big!

 

Well if the advertising was better; Maybe. But yeah the GGG stinks this whole card up.

 

I think the fight is badly overshadowed by all the GGG fanboy-hater polemics and the joy of Rousey getting KTFO. There's really no buzz for probably the #1 boxing event of the year.
