    I would say 40 Lucas vs Garcia is 30% and Floyd is 30%

    Canelo has never headlined his own PPV his last fight was on regular showtime

    he is the guy everyone wants floyd to fight, this is the biggest megafight to be made in boxing right now.. he honestly earns 50 percent of the success because he is the only one expected to possibly beat floyd

    so saying that and taking into consideration floyds ppv numbers vs your average opponent if it does 2million buys + you would attribute canelo to 50 percent

    i would say 75% every mexican i know is getting the fight or watching it somewhere. guerrero mayweather didn't do as well because mexicans and everyone else for that matter don't know much about guerrero.

    Without canelo this would be another mayweather first fight. People want to see mayweather lose so bad, and they believe this kid can do it. People would still buy one it just because its mayweather, add canelo to the mix and you get the extra push to the event.

    Floyd went from having his worst PPV(vs Guerrero), to now, supposedly, the biggest fight ever now that Canelo is involved :think

    Not hard to figure out!

    Canelo is half responsible for the event since you need two opponents at this magnitude to make this type of event. You also have to give the GoldenBoy and the media for hyping Canelo up also since I believe they turn this kid into the next coming of Julio Cesar Sr.

    Close to 50 %.

    Floyd (Money) is the bigger name and the marquee fighter, but showtime lost $$$ on his near no-name last fight.

    Canelo is the difference here. That and an undercard that could anchor an event all by itself.

    Floyd's the main money-spinner here, but only just.

    OMG hyped up in the blood beyond belief now, having seen five press quality conferences, both media workouts of the two boxers and at least a dozen promos and all the all accesses.

    don't think I can sleep now ...

    I think that based on the huge following the ginger has, it has to 60+%...

    I never quite understood when ginger became an in thing, but I noticed this red rash of sickeningly ugly gingers (often dyed) at music concerts this summer. (yep unfortunately sometimes they were playing too, so you couldn't avoid seeing them).

    anyway good luck to this ginge with the film star looks.

    Garcia vs Lucas is the ONE, Floyd vs Canelito will probably pale in comparison.
