If he is fighting on 7/26, GGG vs Chavez jr. is a week before that. Isn't GGG vs chavez going to be ppv? So will they make Nelo's fight on regular showtime or ppv?
Probably depends on what weight the fight will be at.
I know Canelo was supposed to have 3 PPV fights this year, but his failing to make the jr. MW limit against Angulo may alter GBP's plans. If he can still make 154, I can see him fighting Lara or Kirkland on PPV in the summer, but if he moves up to 160, I don't think he will fight a PPV worthy opponent right away.
Of course there is also the possibility that Lara or Kirkland is desperate enough to move up with him...
It should be I can't think of a marketable ppv opponent for July. His last fight of the year will definitely be ppv so showtime should cut us some slack and put it on regular showtime.
