Kamaru Usman & Colby Covington Almost OUTSELL Canelo Alvarez

That was a huge ufc fight when compared to canelo-plant and it still sold less.

 

Not only but that is his base and I don't see how anyone can question that?

Ireland is a relatively small country so Conor has always had to broaden his appeal to all groups.

I'll add Canelo is finally starting to speak in English so that will help but if he started speaking English years earlier like how Manny did, he'd probably have more non mexican fans.

 

i believe canelo fights are broadcast free in mexico. so if you want a clearer view of reality, then add how many mexicans would have bought the ppv were it not free. 300k feels like a conservative estimate, so that puts him well above 1 million for this fight with an unknown.

 

Canelo is a crossover star just like, DLH, FLoyd, Pac, Tyson, Conor, etc. His "Mexican base" can only carry him so far.

 

Canelo is not a household name in us. Only Hispanic people know him

 

The OP vid is full of ****. Usman is the P4P best fighter on earth, that fight was huge, and to outsell it is an accomplishment for Canelo. Not sure wtf he’s talking about.

 

Casuals don't understand or appreciate the purity of boxing. It's something anybody can pick up but to reach the highest levels is so difficult. UFC used to be closer to a proper street fight but with the rules now it's drawing power is based on smoke and mirrors vs the sweet science.

 

I bet if Conor was English instead of Irish that would be a different story. The UFC has been looking for a breakthrough English star. Michael Bisping became champ very late in his career, too late to be massive. Darren Till hasn't panned out to well but there's this up and coming scouser who is supposed to be the next big thing:
