Him and Ortiz did 1.25 and him and Shane did 1.4 , this fight is much more touted

Your average person has never seen Canelo fight, aside from maybe the Mosley undercard, he's not as big a name as Mosley was. Cotto was a bigger name too. Betters are giving Canelo a good chance but it's still Floyd vs "credible opponent" to most people.

Not trying to knock Floyd here, it's just that 2 mil buys is unrealistic.

About boxing being dead, that was said back when Oscar was fighting Floyd too, "the last big fight". Floyd was a great fighter, arguably the best for years but wasn't a big PPV draw before that fight, but with that fight and HBO and himself promoting he became a big star and PPV draw. Pacquaio was recognized as great but didn't become a mainstream star and "event" fight guy until 08/09 either.

The point is, boxing can still make stars. If Canelo or any young fighter beats Floyd, he becomes a big star. If Floyd steps down, HBO can make a star out of a top P4P fighter with an exciting style. Boxing's not dying when Floyd/Pacquaio leave and MMA is not as hot as it was 3 or 4 years ago.

Mexican people buy ppvs and Canelo is a superstar in Central America

This fight will not do 2 mil, I will leave the coli forever if it does. Probably 1.3 mil.


Breh, if this fight does under 1.7 I will be stunned. Canelo sold out a 40k venue to fight Austin Trout, he has an incredible following. This is the last real hope the Mayweather haters have of him losing. Then of course the Mayweathers fans will tune in. This will be his biggest fight outside of DLH.

I can't think of a recent fight that got this much press and nonboxing fans attention . The only one I think that's close is PAC - PBF lol and that one never happened

2.2 buys and

Showtime, which showed the bout on pay per view, announced Thursday afternoon that the fight, in which Mayweather prevailed by a majority decision, now ranks as the highest-grossing pay-per-view fight of all-time with $150 million in revenue reported to date.
