Kevin Iole: Canelo-Khan PPV did 460k buys only!!!

It will probably break DLH-MAYWEATHER numbers.

 

Im actually surprised it did that much. Anyone that thought this was a 1m ppv fight is seriously delusional. Sure Canelo has a huge mexican following but other than that nobody gives a sh@t about canelo. He has very few casual fans. Khan has no fans here in the states outside of a very very small group of muslims and a handful of brits.

 

So because Canelo headlines two PPV's prior he's not allowed to do 460k against someone like Khan? You guys got it all ****ed up. 460k or 600k, no question who's going to be the A-side.

 

It's about right. Khan isn't that big of a draw despite what he says.

 

A lot of casuals don't even think about that. He's had 1 voluntary defense that Golovkin agreed to, I'd hardly call that holding the title hostage.

 

Neither is Alvarez.

 

That's a good number, and a moneymaker.

Guaranteed purses were $6.23 million for everyone (not including PPV upside on the back end).

460k buys X $70 average selling price = ~$32 million

50% take rate (what they pay to providers)= ~$16 mil

Gross profit before other expenses and revenue streams = approximately $16 mil, less the extra paid to Canelo and Khan.

That's good business.

 

Not sustainable without a better matchup

 

This:deal

But some people can't help but be Big Drama Queens. Must be where the expression "big drama show" came from.

 

Guess Floyd was right all along when he fought Berto for 400k PPV instead of Khan. Oh wait!!!

 

Don't forget Live gate, international tv rights, merchandising, sponsors etc.

Gbp made a killing

 

Not sustainable, but it served its purpose, which is to maximize the marketing hype of Canelo-GGG. :good

The build-up has been perfectly executed from both sides. Now they just need to not mess it up and get the fight made for the fall.

 

Big drama queens :rofl

 

You're such a lttle drama-queen
