The all-time boxing PPV record is held by Floyd Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya at 2.4 Million PPV buys. There have been whispers that Mayweather and Canelo might break it and if this trending information is correct they will have a shot.
Hearing from independent industry sources that #MayweatherCanelo PPV is tracking extremely well. Should shoot well past 1.5 million buys

I think it will fall short, but I think it cracks 2 million PPV buys. A combination of a strong co-main event, the belief Canelo has a shot to win and more people at home because of college football is the perfect storm for a massive PPV number.
