It didn't sell out
*T Rex voice* No matter how many numbers you flip breh, it's still not going to equal to a sellout
All that money is good, but Floyd aint dropping none off under my hotel suite door, plus we knew Floyd vs McGregor would make money when they originally started discussing it,

I already said that it wasn't sold out

Nobody getting 9 figures anytime soon

Canelo would be the closest but he ain't there N after GGG there's nobody to help him get there

You only get to rob the bank once. Floyd the last of his kind. Just like the likes of 50 and Em being the last of their kind in the music industry. Nobody in boxing is happy when you make so much money that you don't "need" them anymore. These contracts these prospects are gonna be signing moving forward with these promotion companies will make these 360 record deals look like childs play.

Cotto-Kamegai Peaked at 805K Viewers, Averaged 730K on HBO - Boxing News

Cotto-Kamegai Peaked at 805K Viewers, Averaged 730K on HBO



By Keith Idec

Even in direct competition with a pay-per-view extravaganza, boxing fans tuned in to watch Miguel Cotto’s return to the ring.

According to ratings released Tuesday by Nielsen Media Research, HBO’s broadcast of Cotto’s victory over Yoshihiro Kamegai drew a peak audience of 805,000 viewers on Saturday night. An average audience of 730,000 watched Cotto’s 12-round, unanimous-decision win.

The Cotto-Kamegai match ended before Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s technical knockout of Conor McGregor began because pay-per-view ordering glitches caused the start of Mayweather-McGregor to be delayed by about a half hour.

Cable and satellite customers in certain parts of the United States had difficulty ordering the Showtime Pay-Per-View broadcast that featured Mayweather-McGregor. Mayweather acknowledged after his victory that he and McGregor remained in their dressing rooms until the potentially costly issue was resolved.

Mayweather-McGregor was expected to negatively impact Cotto-Kamegai ratings because at least portions of the fights were expected to air simultaneously.

The Cotto-Kamegai bout ended at approximately 11:45 p.m. ET/8:45 p.m. PT at StubHub Center in Carson, California, about 20 minutes before the delayed start of Mayweather-McGregor at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Puerto Rico’s Cotto, 36, fought for the first time since losing a unanimous decision to Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez in November 2015 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. Cotto (41-5, 33 KOs) won the vacant WBO super welterweight title by out-boxing Japan’s Kamegai (27-4-2, 24 KOs) in their 12-round championship match (120-108, 119-109, 118-110).

HBO’s telecast began Saturday night with Rey Vargas’ victory over Ronny Rios in a 12-round, super bantamweight bout. Vargas-Rios was watched by a peak audience of 687,000 viewers and attracted an average viewership of 524,000.

Mexico’s Vargas (30-0, 22 KOs) out-pointed Rios (28-2, 12 KOs), of Santa Ana, California, by scores of 118-110, 118-110 and 115-113 to retain his WBC 122-pound championship.

The Vargas-Rios telecast also directly competed with part of the Mayweather-McGregor undercard.

Considering the circumstances... that ain't bad at all

They did the same with Pongsaklek Wonjongkam. Once a Thai fighter wins a title their managers/promoters have them fight Filipino taxi drivers to pad out their records. Now that isn't always the class but they do waste some very good, underrated fighters prime years and potential fame doing shyt like that.

Also a number of those 0-0 records are guys who have either made the switch from muay thai to boxing (think McGegor/Mayweather) or they have a fight record but it hasn't been reported.

I noticed this is what hipster do when they hate on Floyd they tried this with the dude from Argentina and Roman Gonzalez smh

I was
but it wasn't at you just in general I had been seeing the "well Canelo-ggg is all sold out" tweets/articles from the boxing world

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

that contain the lack of mandatory fights then I guess
why the ABC orgs doing favor like that to Thai promoters? Do they eve have money like that...?

Well Thai champions fight non title fights in between title fights thats why you'll see them fight 6 and 8 rounders even though they have titles. It's kinda like how it was pre 1960s where champions fought non titles fight to stay busy and get paid.

Canelo/GGG better do at LEAST 1.4 million though if either of them are expected to carry the sport after Floyd



Floyd did 1.25 million vs Victor Ortiz, so Canelo/GGG better do better than that with all this hype surrounding Canelo's draw & GGG's hype period

Terence Crawford’s sensational third-round knockout of Julius Indongo to become the undisputed junior welterweight world champion on Aug. 19 at the Pinnacel Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska, averaged 1.2 million viewers on ESPN, making it the second-largest audience for boxing on cable in 2017 behind only Manny Pacquiao-Jeff Horn, which averaged 3.7 million viewers on ESPN on July 1. With the victory, Crawford became only the third fighter of the four-belt era to hold all four at the same time, the others being former middleweight champions Bernard Hopkins and Jermain Taylor.
