Showtime Boxing on Saturday night featuring the battle of Brooklyn boxers Daniel Jacobs and Peter Quillin drew a televised event high of 386,000 viewers according to Sports TV Ratings.
Jacobs defeated Quillin via a stunning first-round stoppage. Jacobs landed multiple shots which staggered Quillin causing the ref to stop the fight 85 seconds in. It was probably the right decision as it was likely Quillin would not be able to survive the round.
The brief main event, which aired from 10:30-10:37pm ET drew 386,000 viewers. The post-fight on Showtime drew 267,000 viewers.
The co-main event featuring Jesus Cuellar defeated Jose Oquendo via unanimous decision. The fight drew 221,000 viewers from 9:17-10:07pm ET. The pre-fight leadup on the network drew 217,000 viewers from 9:00-9:17pm ET.
Payout Perspective:
It was a brief, yet exciting main event. Of course, the ratings reflect an event geared to the dedicated boxing fan. Also, college football conference championship games ruled Saturday evening when the event took place.
Quilled WAS a bonafied real contender. Jacobs performance catapulted him into the conversation of “attraction” type fighter. Boxing Purists will now begin to clear there Saturday nights in order to make time for Danny Jacobs. And his TV numbers should start to see an uptick. Hopefully Al Haymon can double down on another legit Name boxer and turn this guy into a box office attraction.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s still better than WSOF. But then again the UFC and Bellator draw about 750k. But then again, Klitchko vs Fury drew over 1 million.
UFC fanboys seem to think that about 150,000 extra viewers means something.
Anyone who doesn’t like Daniel Jacobs is dead inside. The guy has a great backstory. I like Quillin too, though I think he’s been protected. This was a big fight for both and it’s unfortunate that it didn’t do better.
Canelo-Cotto did a live gate of $12,470,200, which i believe is higher than any UFC live gate ever.
Hahahahaha. Comps were through the roof for that fight. That didn’t do what St Pierre vs Shields did, not even close. They didn’t fight in a casino genius. They were having trouble selling tickets throughout. Also UFC 193 generated more revenue as will 194. 2 of the top 3 ppv stars fighting against each other<Rousey's name alone. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Actually Canelo-Cotto had zero comp tickets. Look it up.
And (UFC129) GSP-Shields did $12.07M gate. Canelo-Cotto did $12.47M gate
UFC 193 only did a $6.8M gate.
So how could UFC 193 generate more revenue?
UFC 193 does a $6.8M gate and sells 900K ppvs. (There is no numbers out yet and it did between 900K-1.1M). So it sells 900K ppvs. A UFC ppv is $49.99-$59.99.
So 900K ppvs at $60 is $54M. Add in the gate and you got $60.8M.
Canelo-Cotto did 900K at $75 equaling $67.5M.
Add in the gate and you got $79.97M
Numbers dont lie
There were tons of comps the gate was struggling to sell tickets and the fight was at the MGM where many of the tickets were comped by the casino to high rollers. Doing 12m in Toronto is much higher than than doing 12m in Vegas typically, you can’t see the difference because you are brain dead.
UFC 193 smashed Cotto-Canelo in terms of ppv revenue. UFC 193 did 1.2-1.3m and we actually have a valid source verifying it. You lie about everything, literally everything and are nuts.
Cotto-Canelo’s ppv was not $75. It was $59.99 for sd and $69.99 for hd $10 more per ppv.
So let’s do some math genius:
900k @ $65 average price = 58.5m + 12.47m = 70.97
1.2m(accepting the low end) @ $55 average price = 66m + 6m = 72m
This is also considering the following – we aren’t factoring in streaming ppv buys which the UFC gets far more than boxing. I’m assuming that gate is accurate you posted which is always suspect. The amount of comps the Canelo fight did.
Numbers don’t lie, but you do, relentlessly.
*Mandalay Bay*
1.2M-1.3M obviously didn’t happen.
UFC 193 did under 1M. When it takes this long, like it did last time, it didnt hit 1M.
Until a number is posted on here you really cant argue the numbers.
But for argument sake well say it did 1M.
UFC doing 1M ppv buys at $60 and with the gate is $66.8M
Canelo-Cotto 900K ppv buys at $70 and the gate is $75.47M
I believe Some cable outlets sold Canelo-Cotto for $74.99. Ill check my receipt.
But regardless im right anyway.
Go ahead and scream how this isn’t fair

Go ahead and read it.
Zero comped tickets.
By the way 12M in Toronto is way worse than 12M in Vegas.
UFC 129 tickets were cheap. Canleo Cotto were not.

HAHAHAHAHA!!! So when the numbers are reported that you don’t like, you just say they didn’t happen. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Delusional!!!
Dave Meltzer > Delusional boxing fanboy
You lie worse than anyone alive.
“I believe Some cable outlets sold Canelo-Cotto for $74.99. Ill check my receipt.

The only one that does is Verizon and they also sell the UFC’s for $74.99 and are the minority sales.
No, you are dead wrong anyway. You just literally ignore the actual numbers reported, and then post your own. HAHAHAHA!! You are nuts!
“Go ahead and read it.

HAHAHA!! First off, those are the lies the promotion claimed. You are ignoring the fact that the CASINOS comp tickets that are included in the paid attendance that have nothing to do with the promoters(not that the promoters didn’t comp tickets- they just lied). The fight in Toronto WAS NOT a casino and is much more impressive due to the lack of comps.
This fight was struggling to sell tickets throughout which is why they only wound up selling 10k tickets. Now, they are attempting to claim this was the 2nd biggest gate in Mandalay Bay history just slightly behind De La Hoya and Trinidad at 12.9m where they sold 1k more tickets??? Delusions of grandeur.
The Weakest ladies and gents!!!
“Canelo-Cotto 900K ppv buys at $70 and the gate is $75.47M”
So by stating this you are claiming that the event brought in 63m in ppv revenue, right?
Well my number was 58.5(, let’s check with everyone else who reported on it:
Bloody Elbow
The Score
ESPN
Bleacher Report
Ring TV
Boxing Scene
Etc.
And the Promotion are all reporting that it generated 58m
Here’s Rafael’s column:
http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/14282398/canelo-alvarez-miguel-cotto-pay-per-view-gets-900k-buys-58m-revenue
The same column you allegedly read when you initially posted the ppv numbers. Shows you read about as well as Stevie Wonder sees.
So it would still be more than UFC 193s revenue, and every other UFCs revenue ever.
$58M + $12.47M= $70.47M
Bigger than any UFC gate ever and more revenue than any UFC event ever.
Canelo is the biggest draw in combat sports right now with the exception of Pacquiao.
Ppv numbers, gate numbers, revenue numbers, Canelo is #1
You can’t count. It would be less and there are a number of UFC’s that are considerably higher than that.
The biggest draw in combat sports right now without question is Ronda Rousey, followed by McGregor, and then arguably Jones. Canelo needed Cotto to hit 900k.
Even Jason agreed when posed with the question.
You are delusional.
The biggest draws in combat sports is clearly Pacquiao, Canelo, and Klitschko.
How could it not be?
Look at their pay days.
Look at there international tv ratings.
Mayweather-Pacquiaos looking to finish with 4.8M ppv buys when its said and done.
Pacquiao has the most ppv sales out of any active fighter. He does exceptional tv ratings overseas.
Canelo just did 900K ppv buys, 2.3M viewers on HBO against Kirkland, and 2.2M ppvs against Mayweather.
Canelo routinely does over 20M viewers in Mexico.
Klitschko does great numbers in Europe and had a solid viewership against Fury on HBO.
All make monster paydays that no UFC fighter can touch.
I really don’t see any argument for Rousey or Conor being the biggest draw, especially since Rousey just lost.
All these great numbers for the UFC yet their fighters get roughly 10% of the pot. That’s the pathetic part of the sport.
“The biggest draws in combat sports is clearly Pacquiao, Canelo, and Klitschko.
How could it not be?

Na, the ratings show the two biggest stars are McGregor, Rousey and arguably Jones.
“Mayweather-Pacquiaos looking to finish with 4.8M ppv buys when its said and done.
Pacquiao has the most ppv sales out of any active fighter. He does exceptional tv ratings overseas.”
More false statements and Pac hasn’t been an A on a ppv that has gone over 800k in years. Not to mention he has one fight left. As a matter of fact, Pac has never done the numbers that McGregor is about to do with 194 as an A.
“Canelo just did 900K ppv buys, 2.3M viewers on HBO against Kirkland, and 2.2M ppvs against Mayweather.”
Which is inferior to a number of different UFC stars. Thanks for proving my point.
“I really don’t see any argument for Rousey or Conor being the biggest draw, especially since Rousey just lost.”
Yet everyone else in the world does.
No rebuttal or evidence to prove me wrong.
Mcgregor did 800k ppvs.
Pacquiao has 9-10 ppvs that sold more than that.
I win again
McGregor no.1 ppv star in the world!!
Pacquaio is retiring after his next fight and hasn’t hit over 1m in years like McGregor easily did last night.
