So Anderson Silva made $4m vs Weidman in their rematch…..and they surpassed 1 million buys.
Cotto vs Canelo did 900k buys, generated $58 million in revenue in the US….with Cotto getting $15m guaranteed, and Canelo getting $5m guaranteed and all of the Mexican TV rights, pushing him up near or past Cotto’s take home in the end.
Cotto-Canelo was the highest selling card in eons that didn’t involve one of the giga stars at the time, Mayweather, Pac, etc…and Anderson outsold them, while making less than 1/3 what they did.
