    Now that it seems the undercard bouts will be amazing on the mayweather canelo card, do you think it has the chance to break the 2.5mil buys that odlh vs floyd had? Before the announcement of the undercard fights, it honestly had a potential of 2mil at the very most, but now there may be a glimmering hope of eclipsing that.

    He didn't get those numbers before fighting Floyd. It was Mayweather outside of the ring trash talk that sold the fight.

    I did not think it could pass the 2 mill mark but the card is getting stacked up and it has a chance maybe?

    Oscar-Floyd was a milestone because of the 24/7 thing. It was groundbreaking and a platform for both of them to advertise themselves.

    24/7 is now stale and old. They need a new platform.....being young, Mexican and ginger is not enough.

    I don't recall a PPV number ever surprising me by being off from how I thought it would be, but if this PPV breaks the record, I will be surprised.

    Im guessing 1.6..... give or take .3

    I don't think this fight can surpass his ODLH fight. If they show the floyd vs canelo in HBO then maybe, but the card will greatly help to boost up the ppv sales.

    He could've used some help in selling his fight against Pacroid though considering it got 1/2 the buys Floyd did.

    And no way does this break 2.4 million. Canelo has never even been on PPV and people are overestimating his draw power quite a bit.

    No, not even close.



    DeLaHoya-Mayweather had every one talking, not just Boxing fans, casuals as well.

    You had two American super stars. Not saying Canelo being Mexican will hinder numbers, but what are the PPV numbers out of Mexico???

    If Canelo were a Mexican kid from Los Angeles, that spoke both English and Spanish.

    The PPV numbers would be atleast 3 million I am not kidding.

    American Stars vs American Stars Make more PPV buys

    Hoya vs Mayweather - 2.4
    Tyson vs Holy 2 - 1.99
    Tyson vs Lewis - 1.97
    Tyson vs Holy 1 - 1.59
    Tyson vs McNeely - 1.55

    pre-fight consensus, the fight was a circus/mismatch.

    mismatches are always a hard sell no matter how appealing the undercard is.
