Mayweather vs Canelo: Golden Boy CEO says fight will be highest grossing PPV ever
Floyd Mayweather and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez are set to meet in what is the biggest fight in recent memory. While many are comparing the fight to Mayweather's bout with Oscar De La Hoya, Canelo is coming into this fight as a much bigger star than Floyd was at that point. Mayweather vs. De La Hoya set records that surprised most experts in the boxing world on the strength of HBO's then innovative 24/7 series.
Mayweather and Alvarez set the Las Vegas gate record back in July, announcing this week that that record had climbed even higher, well over the $20,000,000 mark.
There's been a debate over the ability of the fight to break the Mayweather/De La Hoya pay-per-view records. As far as Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, is concerned, this will be the highest grossing PPV ever.
