    Sorry, but tell me where this information is that the fight did 600k PPV buys?
    Matchroom & Sky don't share their numbers.

    You also assume Canelo-Smith's PPV numbers when they haven't been released yet...

    I don't think Alvarez is any more well-known outside of the US and Mexico than Golovkin is.
    Ask someone in the UK who the biggest star in boxing is and it's probably Joshua !

    Bumlovkin was the "B" side in the Brook fight, Einstein.

    Not too smart these ggg fanboys. These are Brook numbers in the UK against a threat for 1/3rd the price per ppv. 97k ggg ppv and this last Canelo ppv were mismatches.

    Actually GGG is known in Europe pretty well especially Germany, Eastern Europe and Englad. Canelo is known in the Americas in general, even in South America like Argentina.

    As long as he's relevant, Canelo will always be bigger, just because of 240 million Mexicans and another 40 million or so in the US. It's a matter of purchasing power, güey.

    130,000,000 Mexicans crazy for Canelo vs 2% (max) of 64,000,000 Brits....methinks Alvarez wins this one.
    If Joshua played for Man U, he'd have better numbers, but he doesn't so that's the story.

    Right. The Bumlovkin Brook PPV was something like $20, correct? When was the last time a PPV in the US featuring a premier name fighter was sold for $20? LOL...

    What "name" do you suggest ?? All the so called elite get a sudden case of IBS at the mention of GGG's name. Lots of soiled underwear kok
