    You can't say that not remember when Floyd was active they said he was only drawing that much because of The Mexicans he was fighting lol.

    Probably 1.2. The only fans you would be adding would be the fans that are intentionally boycotting Canelo for not fighting GGG.

    Yeah 250,000 Mexican fans is his actual fan base without a big draw opponent.
    Floyd has about 300,000 actual fans without a dance partner as was evident in his last fight.
    GGG actual fan base is 150,000 from Kazakhstan.
    When you think about it P4P GGG draws the most considering where he is from.

    I don't, especially after that Canelo vs Chavez dud. People have long memories. That Canelo vs Chavez catchweight, hurts the sales of this Golovkin vs Canelo PPV in my opinion. Same way that Pac vs Floyd's wack PPV hurt all the following PPVs sales afterward.

    2,000,000 is possible, I suspect this fight will be hyped all the way.........................will the fight be a dud? Possible, because El Pollo does not have to fight at all, all he has to do is be standing at the end of the fight, the judges are owned by Oscar, the referee and boxing commission, the most corrupt commission in America, Lawrence Cole the worst referee is boxing history, his father the commissioner.......................the only reason Cole is a referee...............he is booed like hell.................if the fight goes the distance, El Pollo will be given a decision with his fans booing! I expect it, I sure hope I am wrong, but I have been watching boxing for a very long time and have seen way too many bad decisions, bought off, the promoters truly believe the fans are stupid, the know they can get away with it............

    I think we're going to approach Lewis-Tyson-esque numbers! This fight is big news everywhere.

    I know counting is hard, but please try again. 1,000,000 + 150,000 = ..........
    You can do it if you really put your mind to it, or know how to use a calculator at least.

    Back to reality.
    I would be very surprised when it does 2 million. We all know that if you put two big names in together, certainly in a highly anticipated fight, the number of PPV buys might very well exceed both maximum PPV sales combined. That's because you're selling a big fight, not just the two boxers featuring in it.
    I don't expect it to pass 1.5m though, because of the pricing and the current market.
