as if GGG vs Canelo is not a much bigger fight, which would have a bigger pot

Lol c'mon breh. Triple G/Canelo isn't a bigger fight than Canelo/Cotto :heh:

It's been proven that Triple G's gate #'s don't extend into PPV buys :yeshrug:

I don't care about the rest of the crap, they both need to stop posturing and just get in the ring and fight

GGG vs Canelo isn't a bigger fight than Cotto vs Canelo???:dwillhuh:



What was Floyd's PPV buys prior to facing ODLH??? 374k was his career high. He fought ODLH and did 2.4 million ppv buys....which means that PPV buys are based upon matchups rather than the A side fighter themselves. GGG vs Canelo is a huge fight demanded by hardcores and every casual who knows GGG/Canelo. It's easily bigger than any fight that can be made in Boxing today.

What you are saying would be the equal of someone saying back then that because Floyd wasn't a big draw on his own, his fight vs DLH wouldn't be a bigger fight than ODLH/Trinidad was:dwillhuh:







Who hacked Smoke's screen name?:mindblown::wow:

Nah it's me here breh. I don't disagree that it will be a 'big fight' or an 'event', but I don't see it outselling Cotto/Canelo :yeshrug:

Floyd still sold 375k before facing ODLH bred. Oscar was just coming off doing 935k with Mayorga. Canelo is coming off doing 350k ish with Smith and triple g is coming off doing about 100k with Lemieux.

Don't see it outselling or being a bigger fight than Canelo/Cotto, but that's just me. I really don't care if it's a 'bigger' fight I just want the guys to fight (and be properly compensated).

I don't know how Andre Ward isn't more liked. I don't even know how I don't like him when I used to love the guy. Model professional, perfect skills, good guy. Yet "everything else" was a disaster. Especially his fans :skip:

Like anything, you get a bit too deep into it and your mind starts changing and taking sides. :yeshrug:

I dont think anyone in the sport dislikes Ward except maybe Abel lol. But what do you mean, you don't like him cause of his fans? Only on forums do I see the behavior you speak of people letting Stan feelings dictate their rationale.

Weirdo shyt imo lol

Life aint fair... ggg is a ppv flop.. dont deserve shyt and isnt owed shyt.. He aint paid the cost to be a boss... dont even see why Canelo/Cotto is being brought up... ggg aint none of them and has only fought 1 champion his entire career(Lemieux).. He should be grateful to be offered $10 million
Ehhhhhhhh

Not the way that stuff like this should be looked at breh. Yeah his resume is weak, and yeah he hasn't dared to be great, but triple g is damn good.

If you go to eastsideboxing there's cats on there who were swearing Ward wouldn't fight; Barrera or Brand, and they're just waiting for him to 'pull out' of the fight with kkkov because he's 'scared' :heh:


It's some insane twilight zone shyt out there breh.

I know he's good.. Im referring to his draw and why people feel he's entitled to a penny more than $10 million

I know u right on this but u don't agree that if a fighter was bigger than may back then, he would have did better ppv numbers with odh?

They cant properly compensate him without ppv upside though breh...you know that's not a fair deal, because without GGG, Canelo will remain in the 300-350 range forever, because his "50,000 tickets sold" don't translate to his PPV buys as the A-side either.

IMO (and where my thoughts on the $$$ comes from) Canelo/GGG will have a larger HBO budget for that fight than the $20 million they had for Cotto/Canelo. It's only right to split the money at a % across the board. 60/40 - 65/35 Canelo.

Disagree. Canelo and Cotto were known by everyone even the casuals.

I doubt anyone other than Boxing fans know who GGG is.

I don't know any casuals who know Cotto:manny:
