Canelo vs Khan 2016 Boxing Fight on 7 May in HBO PPV

Canelo vs Khan will be contested at a 155 lb (max) catchweight and held and the brand new seater T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, 7.
Khan is a big underdog Alvarez but those who favor him insist his speed and newfound discipline under trainer Virgil Hunter could be a game-changer.
So how much will Canelo Alvarez and Amir Khan make for fighting each other?
Canelo vs Khan purses
According to TotalSportTek, Canelo Alvarez’s purse will be upwards of $10 million plus a share of PPV revenue, giving him the potential to earn between $12 million to $15 million.
The challenger, Amir Khan, has been granted a $6 million payout but with no extra income via PPV sales.Canelo vs Khan Live
Not bad.
Last fall, Canelo’s PPV showdown with fight legend Miguel Cotto generated 900,000 buys and $58 Million in revenue. Not since Tyson vs Lewis (2002) had a pay-per-view fight generated at least 900,000 buys without featuring Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao or Oscar De La Hoya.
Although Khan may not have the drawing power in the States that Cotto enjoys, look for Canelo vs Khan to generate at least as many PPV buys (900,000) as Cotto vs Canelo because it’s taking place on Cinco de Mayo weekend, the hottest piece of calendar real estate in boxing. Proper timing should make up for the presumed gap in popularity between Cotto and Khan, stateside.
Moreover, boxing won’t have to compete with the mega popular NFL for sports headlines.
And from a standpoint of gross revenue, May’s fight should easily eclipse November’s due to Khan’s massive international following. Viewership in the UK and, perhaps, Pakistan will be far heavier than Puerto Rican viewership was for Cotto vs Canelo.
How popular is Khan internationally?
… He has 3.8 million Facebook followers while Cotto has just over 800,000.Canelo vs Khan Live
Perhaps the ultimate question as it relates to PPV numbers and revenue is: How many of those followers will pay to see Amir Khan partake in the biggest fight of his career?

Pacquiao vs Bradley 3 Live Stream HBO PPV Fight 2016

It’s rubber-match time for Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley Saturday at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
The historic venue hosted the first two entertaining fights, both which went for a full 12 rounds. Folks know the result of the first, where Bradley scored a controversial win on the cards before the rematch, a rather ho-hum affair in favor of Pacquiao.
Though not necessarily the most hyped fight in recent history, especially with Pacquiao coming off the loss to Floyd Mayweather, promoter Bob Arum and Top Rank have gone out of their way to make the card as attractive as possible in what might be Pacquiao’s last fight.
Here’s a look at everything to know about the pay-per-view event.

About the undercard.
Top Rank has gone out of its way to make the entire lineup of fights must-see affairs by putting notable straps on the line.

WBO world super middleweight champion Arthur Abraham is one of the sport’s notable performers right now, but won’t have an easy task against a crafty Gilberto Ramirez. Even better, the undefeated Oscar Valdez puts his strap on the line against former world champion Evgeny Gradovich.
It’s fitting, though, that with a card headlined by someone such as Pacquiao, who might retire, that Arum and Co. have had to go out of their way to showcase the sport’s future. Jose Ramirez, who fights Manuel Perez, is one of the notable prospects ESPN.com’s Dan Rafael mentioned in a writeup back in January:Catching a glimpse of the future as an appetizer before the main event isn’t a bad idea.

Not that Arum seems too confident in the pay-per-view’s outlook, as he told Edward Chaykovsky of BoxingScene.com he expects about 700,000 buys—Pacquiao vs. Mayweather did 4.6 million.
Still, Las Vegas expects a somewhat competitive fight, as Odds Shark has Pacquiao at -308 and Bradley at +252.
What the odds might not take into account, though, is the after effects of Pacquiao’s loss to Mayweather, not to mention just how much Bradley has seemed to improve after a trainer change.
Bradley canned trainer Joel Diaz and brought on Teddy Atlas. The results were notable right away, with Bradley moving to 32-1-1 via a ninth-round knockout of Brandon Rios back in November.
Arum echoed these sentiments when explaining why folks shouldn’t have a negative reaction to a rubber match, according to Rafael:
This is a different Timothy Bradley under the aegis of Teddy Atlas. This is not me just saying that. The Bradley that fought Rios, whatever you thought about Rios, was a different fighter. It’s still Bradley, but a new Bradley with Teddy. And at this point of his career, can Manny handle that? Remember, Manny is also coming off an injury.
Remember, too, that Pacquiao enters the bout after shoulder surgery. Bradley is on quite the roll after a much-needed change, while Pacquiao hasn’t fought in almost 11 months after recovering from a torn rotator cuff.
Though it sounds dire, especially if Bradley truly has turned a corner after making a change, there isn’t much of a reason to think Pacquiao loses.

Pacquiao has too much to lose to drop this bout.
Look at it this way—Pacquiao lost the first encounter with Bradley in such a controversial fashion that investigations were launched and two of the judges don’t perform the duty anymore. He then went on to win in a relatively boring affair the next time out.
Now Pacquiao, 37 years old, has a legacy to fight for. He’s looking at this potentially being his last fight should he get elected in the political realm, and if not, he might want to ensure he wins on the chance he can lure Mayweather out of retirement.
Pacquiao has responded to a loss well in the past, going on a three-fight streak after the knockout at the hands of Juan Manuel Marquez. This time he has even more to fight for, regardless of whether this is goodbye.
Look for Pacquiao to go headhunting and score the knockout now that he’s healthy and motivated by those factors.
