May 9th was a bad choice for the Canelo fight.

The kid should have never backed out of his demand to Oscar to fight on May 2nd. He thinks he's a PPV blockbuster and in line to take over boxing right? If you feel your the man why back down, I'd rather he kept the date and get slapped with reality that if floyd was holding a PPV sparring session Canelo still wouldn't get more numbers then Floyd. Now him and cokehead Oscar are trying to save face by saying if they didn't say they were going to fight on that day Floyd and Pacroid wouldn't be happening. Truth of the matter is they were telling everyone early last year about fighting on May 2nd before negotiations even started. Now look at his dumb redhead zza, they know people aren't going to have much money left after Floyd embarrass Pacroid so they are selling tickets like buy one get 24 free. And these are ringside seats. Hell I've heard the tickets are so cheap on fight night Oscar will have to buy up most of the remaining ones just to break even. Go take a plunge off the nearest tall building, you annoying, one dimensional f*ck.

its not like they fighting on pay per view

If it was a PPV fight it would be garbage...after everybody paying around 100.00 for May/Pac....but if its free it will do good since it would ride the energy from Floyd VS MAyweather

Nobody is even thinking about the Canelo fight right now. Why didn't Oscar just move this to June? At least the buzz would have simmered from the big fight by then. Canelo vs Kirkland deserves a little more attention. I know Kirkland is on a long layoff but depending on what kind of shape he's in, we can expect him to fight till the end, (no Ann Wolfe though) Canelo vs Kirkland is just Canelo vs Angulo 2.

Sorry, I meant to say both these fighters throw lots of bombs with both hands.

For me just as soon as one great fight is over I am excited about the next good fight even if it's only a week later. Canelo-Kirkland just has to be a vicious war for as long as it lasts. These two fighters lots throw bombs with both hands and refuse to take a backward step. It will probably be a more thrilling fight than Pacquiao-Mayweather.

"them tickets too cheap bro, that's pitiful" Fight night.."can someone hook me up with a stream, I don't have hbo" :lol1: For real.

i forgot that fight was even happening to be honest. the hardcores will still be tuning in regardless

The fight is is not being talked about. But you will tune in, I will tune in, and so will all the haters. We will all he watching. So not an issue on May 9th. Could have been on May 1st, or May 3rd. Or May 2nd right before the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, we would ALL still he watching. So what's the issue??? :repost:

I don't see anything wrong with Canelo fighting May 9th. Only helps that the replay of May/Pac will air right before it. Too many CPA's posting in here...

Well no other fight is really being talked about to be fair, Kovalev vs Pascal tonight was a bit overshadowed by the Mayweather vs Pacquiao Press Conference this week That is the biggest fight in Boxing History everything else is a bit of a AFTERTHOUGHT...FOR NOW!

Canelo vs Kirkland deserves a little more attention. I know Kirkland is on a long layoff but depending on what kind of shape he's in, we can expect him to fight till the end, (no Ann Wolfe though) Why do people need to think about the Canelo fight, by default, people will tune in to watch the replay of the May/PAC fight, which in turn will get those people not thinking about the Canelo fight, watching HBO by default, it's a genius move by ODLH, your logic doesn't make any sense.

Canelo was HOPING for this... PRAYING Cotto would be trained by Pedro Diaz again. Nah... The same trainer that trained Cotto vs Floyd. Diaz was a big reason Cotto was successful vs Floyd. I think even Pedro Diaz would train Cotto better for Canelo than Roach.

You do realize that not all casual Mexican fans are also fans of Mayweather/Pac right?

Im sure it will be marketed during the PPV. Is it a PPV? Hopefully not, if not tons will tune in.

I thought I read that the winner of MayPac will get the rights to the replay on their network. Is there any truth to that or do both HBO and SHO get to replay it regardless of who the winner is? I thought this too, what if the replay is not on HBO?

I don't think so. Floyd and pacs tix are always expensive even tho these cost more they will have a good crown still that react to every punch landed IDK this fight is something else. I seriously doubt most of the fans that were able to afford previous Pac/May fights respectively would even have a remote shot at landing some tickets. Their availability will be scarce and we all know the big wigs won't be chanting along like some drunk football fans :lol1: Hope I'm completely wrong and the fans make it into something special. I'd rather eat crow than sit through a fight of this magnitude with the sound of crickets and pins dropping being heard throughout the rounds. So what your saying is he in fact needs Mayweather aftermath to boost his popularity after trying to take the May date? :D Mann Canelo fans and there double standards tsk tsk. Where exactly did you get all that from? All I said that the fact that the replay will be playing before his fight won't hurt him one bit. If that translates to all the BS you formulated in that thick skull of yours then... yes, YES I DID. :)

Could not have been a worse date. The replay should garner more attention. The May 2nd replay, that is.

So what your saying is he in fact needs Mayweather aftermath to boost his popularity after trying to take the May date? :D Mann Canelo fans and there double standards tsk tsk. Canelo fighting with the Pac/May replay helps both Canelo and HBO. HBO because Canelo gives fans with both HBO/SHO a reason to watch the HBO replay. Canelo because it gives him a bigger audience. But it's hilarious that people are harping on the Kirkland fight like it's the only opportunity he's going to have to make money. He's 24. It's the first fight of an HBO deal. He'll probably have a PPV fight in September, when Pac/May is in the rear view mirror (and are probably taking the rest of the year off).

If no one was even thinking about that fight then his 10 buck tickets wouldn't have been selling as well as they did. He's fine, the date is fine and the fact that it's going to fall on the replay of Pac vs May is another bonus for plenty of people. So what your saying is he in fact needs Mayweather aftermath to boost his popularity after trying to take the May date? :D Mann Canelo fans and there double standards tsk tsk.
