HBO PPV officially announced Miguel Cotto and Canelo Alvarez set for Saturday, November 21st at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Oscar De La Hoya posted the fight poster between the Puerto Rican and Mexican star on Thursday.
The PPV is set for $65 HD and $55 SD with most distributors.
According to an ESPN Deportes article, Roc Nation Sports, Miguel Cotto Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions (on behalf of Alvarez) are involved in putting the fight together. Two notable items for the fight: the canvas will be black, a staple of Roc Nation boxing events and the fighters have agreed that there will be no rematch clause.
Payout Perspective:
Confirmation of Cotto-Alvarez should cap off three big boxing PPVs this fall. Mayweather-Berto on September 12th, GGG-Lemieux on October 17th and Canelo-Cotto on November 21st. The question is whether fans will purchase all three. Certainly, November’s fight between Canelo and Cotto has the makings of a big money fight with a sufficient amount of time for HBO to build this fight. It will also ignite two big ethnic fight bases. The report of the “no rematch clause” is an interesting twist if true. Of the three fights, which one will do better on PPV?
Haha. Mandalay Bay.
http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2015/8/13/9151105/cotto-vs-canelo-miguel-cotto-reportedly-will-make-up-30-million-boxing-news. Mega fight mega money hahahahahahaha…..
at least boxing isn’t completely relying on a gimmick twat and a made up irish kid with a mouth. hahaha Quite a bit more depth in boxing compared to ufc/mma which is now becoming a joke, hahahah
Saldaretard.
Hahaha. Exaggerated boxing purses. Doesn’t point out that part of that guaranteed money is from Cotto’s Roc Nation deal that he has to do a bunch of promotional work. Really good fact checking by boxing morons.
This fight couldn’t bump an extreme sports event being held at MGM. Hahahaha.
Only one of those PPV is actually big and thats Cotto/Canelo.
Floyd/Berto is a joke and GGG is awesome and the card is good and I guess putting it on PPV and seeing what it does is fine but its not gonna be a huge seller.
Canelo/Cotto is great though, thats not only a great fight, its a big fight and it will sell big time. Million buy PPV.
Boxing haters posting with there typical old, tired and proven wrong and wrong again for a decade bullshit! bahahah Whats the story today for the UFC? what lies and hype is being sent out by the leader of bullshit Dana??? Another great year for boxing, and another hyped bullshit year of nothing but a twat in a pair of tiny shorts for the ufc. Great job ufc! bahahahhahahaha
Sal needs his drug cocktail, he’s in full blown rambling mode.
Now this fight I am looking forward to, it will definitely surpass the Mayweather-Berto fight in terms of buys, I would be surprised if it does less than 1.5M. Plus the WBC is saying that the winner of this fight has to face GGG as a mandatory match (if there is no rematch), so regardless of who wins there is another amazing fight to look forward to. When the year ends I would love to see a comparison on how boxing did in 2015 and in previous years.
Hahaha. Logical is dreaming again. Anything under 1.5m would be a surprise?? Delusions. There is no Mayweather involved in this. Also, since when did boxers give a shit what the WBC had to say? I wouldn’t be surprised at all if that fight never goes down between the winner and GGG.
I dont think it does 1.5 mill but it should do atleast a mill.
neither are huge PPV sellers on their own but its a big PR vs Mexico fight, Canelo taking his step to be the king of boxing after Floyd is gone.
But 1.5 is way too much, Floyd has only passed that number a few times on his biggest fights, even though this is a big fight its not on that level. 1 mill buys they woudl take that and be happy as hell with it.
I dont get it Sal, you say a great year for boxing but a shit year for mma? WHen they are gonna do basically the same amount of PPV buys, UFC might even do more this year how is that a bad year for mma?
Call Ronda or McGregor all the names you want the truth is they are the next two biggest stars after FLoyd and I guess Manny is still on that list.
Ronda just did a mill buys from Brazil vs a nobody and McGregor just did over 850k in a last minute replacement fight for an interim title in a div thats never done over 330k PPV buys.
Enough of the hating bullshit, fact is both sports have had good years, Floyd/Manny happening really put boxing over this year, they needed that.
2016 is gonna be interesting for both sports, UFC has its ducks in a row for a huge year, boxing needs a 50th Floyd fight, Manny to come back, GGG/Canelo nad even then it wont be as big a year as this year.
How much did UFC spend for marketing 189? Biggest spending only got 850 from meltzer estimate? Hahahahahaha
Is the rousey brand stronger than the ufc brand?hahahaha…
Tops smells like urine.
Rousey did a million ppv? says who? Oh that’s right Dana said that. Hey also said 189 would do 2 million. Please with your bullshit! Boxing needs to forget about Floyd and Manny and move on. The UFC is a joke and needs to get back to the basics of mma. The ufc is floundering and you are too stupid to realize it. And I remember D and other mental morons said the same thing the last 2 years about boxing verses ufc ppv. Maybe the tag team mma will catch on bahahahahahahaha next midget mma hahahah and we now have a twat in panties as the new face of mma! Great progression!!!
