This fight though has real potential of breaking a million PPV buys. I also believe that tickets will be sold out quickly. So far PBC has named Pitbull Cruz battling against Giovanni Cabrera in the undercards probably to get the huge Latino boxing community.
Although Canelo is no longer with DAZN and Eddie Hearn Matchroom and now I've read that not every fight of Canelo has massive numbers in DAZN, maybe he is just telling this because he no longer promotes Canelo Alvarez.
But as far as this one, yeah the keyword here is "potential" it might do 1 million views or just half of it around 500,000k. And I guess it really depends on how they are going to promote this fight and the boxers themselves.
So far they gone to respective boxing outlet, but we haven't heard anything, maybe just minor trash talking.
