PPV is dead


When the current biggest PPV star can't even do 500k as a Messican on Cinco De Mayo


Crawford Postol goin do 50K



Ward Kovalev 150K



This is exactly why didn't believe that bullshyt ass dream Duva was selling talking bout well do over 300k N well all eat

Which is why I hope the numbers are weak De La Homo got some nerve trying to get people to pay 70 bucks to watch Canelo fight a cherry pick who was just looking to cash out once Floyd and Manny wouldn't take the bait.

Whatever helps to get Canelo/GGG type fights made quicker instead of throwing us another bullshyt September PPV of Canelo vs Lemieux so we can "let the fight build" nonsense the better. A damn shame the past 18 months cats like Berto,Algeiri,Lemieux and Khan were able to get PPV checks just to be jobbers.

This news actually complicates Canelo Ggg, why take that risk when the ppv might sell between 300-500k some of their fans correspond and are one in the same, therefore I dont see the fight getting made right now...

Canelo has to beat either Floyd or Manny to ever get his ppv juice back and for him that should be priority, you can't be the future of the sport, when the past of the sport arguably shut you out, he'll never be believable in that regard, he needs a lions head to place on the mantal, team ggg aint helping they should have bended over backwards for cotto after canelo beat him, Canelo can get 300-400 thousand ppv buys fighting himself, exactly why I dont see it getting made with the news

I can do Canelo vs Pac it can be his Manny/DLH moment as far as passing the torch

I think prime Floyd and Manny spoiled us as far as the crazy numbers they were doing.

Yeah think we in a PPV rut right now and the general backlash from May/Pac ain't really doing a lot of these "unknown" guys any favors when it comes to wanting to sell out 60/70 dollars. That May/Pac fight might be the "Fingerpoke Of Doom" to the general public it's gonna take some time and something genuinely exciting that will get people to do the "1.5" million type numbers De La Hoya was gassing up.

Canelo has khan problems breh

A straight up and down no side to side movement flat footed fighter, that throws 15 punches a round and has to plant his feet to throw, will get blitzed by Manny 7/7 days a week, he wont be so confident walking forward, khan and his lite power buckled Canelo once or twice, what would Canelo do once he really ran into a punch he ain't see of that elite level pop...Manny has to much power and speed, he has too much foot speed, head movement, and gets too low to counter effectively which is Canelos game, well Manny was able to play chess and earn the respect of the master counterpuncher in Floyd, lets see how slow Canelo does waiting on a counter vs manny...Manny leans in with a straight left every time canelo steps forward then spins him as he's elite enough to breakdown nelo only punches with his feet set...

Would love to see this fight happen so people could see Canelo is not quite elite level, and for Manny to regain his luster post Floyd....

A "washed" Manny beating up Bradley and Canelo on his way out would be epic and sad at the same time.

yeah look at bradley now...pretty much whatever momentum he had from that "win" over pac is done after that 3rd fight..his draw got killed...we are firemen to getting whooped in an even more decisive fashion by a pac shaking off ring rust...head over heels on the gotdamn canvas man

 

[Suspicious Dingo]

thats a shame @JohnnyTruant..that means Chagaev is reverted back to being a champion and its a NC

Well, shyt.

Yeah hate to use the wrestling comparisons but it's like Hogan/Flair being WCW champ in 1999 it gives you that is it 2009 still feeling with May/Pac carrying the load when it comes to drawing and P4P status. It adds to they legacy as GOAT's but pretty much buries everyone else drawing power. At least Cotto and Mosley were willing to put the kid over on the way out those damn creative control freaks Floyd and Manny always gotta go over.

He still got provo and a possible Broner fight.

however if he fails, whatever his draw is will take a significant hit

Yes it will

Yeah think we in a PPV rut right now and the general backlash from May/Pac ain't really doing a lot of these "unknown" guys any favors when it comes to wanting to sell out 60/70 dollars.

yup, he promoted as the anti floyd/Pacq fight. When in reality it was a huge mismatch vs Floyd Pacq.

A "washed" Manny beating up Bradley and Canelo on his way out would be epic and sad at the same time.

Yes it will..... Then we will see max Kellerman definitely call pacq the greatest of this Era...

Streams exist these days, dont like the fight we have options, Floyd and Manny were a glitch in the matrix as they earned their fan base beating champs and hof ers

The shawn micheals hulk hogan esque selling of both knockdowns still rubs my spirit funny, Bradley may have to disappear for the rest of the year, otherwise I don't even want to see his name

 

[krackdagawd]

Canelo stops this version of Pacman if Bradley had dude levitating Canelo would would give him that WWE work.
