this is bad. Ive said all along that I disagree with everyone about Floyd-Ghost. I still think that fight will sell big on its own. People act like Canelo has always been on Floyd's card. Ghost is a Mexican, who looks white, speaks well, has great credentials, and people will eat up the story about his wifes battle with cancer. Not to mention the black vs whit thing. That will sell big.
The problem is now that everyone thought Canelo-Trout would be the undercard. Its better to have nothing at all then to have and then have lost. Meaning that if they never talked about it being on the undercard then I think the fight still wouldve sold well but this will make people so upset that they could lose some buys.
As for the Floyd-Canelo thing, I can see Floyd being very interested in a Canelo fight but not wanting to commit to it. Floyd is probably figuring that he's the biggest star in boxing so why would he have to commit to someone. He may fight him but they will decide that after. Not predetermine stuff. That kinda stuff is hard to workout. Right now I see Canelo fighting Trout on a separate card which is bad for business all around. Might make the Floyd-Ghost tix cheaper & easier to get though
