Looks like well over 5 million buys

[Dia bando]

For all the BS that BOXING is on the slide, 5 million PPV say's a lot all other fighting sports take
note, boxing is still top of the pile and will be for some time.

Not sure I agree and based on the fight overall that fight may have done more harm then good. I'd bet half the buyers were not even boxing fans and after watching it will use it as evidence as to why they are not. In addition Floyd is an anomaly. Others that fight in a safety first style cant draw flies.


The fight was also an anomaly. Like an academy award movie that nobody had a chance to see or at least that was what it was supposed to be. Many again, bought the fight out of curiosity on what all the fuss was about. They left it wondering the same thing. I think the spinoff from this fight is the quickened end to PPV which imo is a good thing. It never helped the sport in any way that I can see.

I think guys like Haymon and Jay z saw it coming and so have the networks which will do more to keep the sport alive then the glory few of the sport.

Floyd v Pac may not have set the World alight, but Canelo v Kirkland did a good fight for the casual
fight fan, all in all a action fight that's boxing from boring to magnificent, that why you have to
love boxing it keeps you guessing.

Guessing? I agree in general boxing is always ready with a surprise. But these two fights were so predictable it was like from a script.
