Ok so as a "Hardcore" (whatever you take that to be) Boxing Fan there is no doubt that the intrigue over a Chavez vs Martinez fight is the true Marquee Matchup. I for one will for sure be buying it maybe even flying out for it Yet the more i think about it the Goldenboy Card there is no doubt that they will win the PPV battle. You have 2 stars that have already had massive amounts of exposure on both HBO and on PPV. Ortiz alone with the scandal of the infamous 2 piece with a biscuit made him a household name. Canelo with his Mexican fanbase has all the recipe for a big PPV number amongst casuals.
I just dont see the same with the Martinez vs Chavez. Yes Chavez has been on undercards in the past and has name recognition yet i to do numbers (which means you having good dancing partner not just in ability but in drawing ) he doesnt have support. We know Sergio is feared and this is exactly why. He brings nothing to the table for casual fans and i truly believe that barring a real injury for Ortiz on saturday it will be Top Rank that backs off the date. Us "hardcore fans" will be treated to a treat of a fight but will be a major setback in the growth of both Chavez and especially Martinez.
