Let’s be honest most people have not heard of bivol until the canelo sweepstakes and ggg has done nothing since his last fight with canelo but get older.
Canelo and ggg have allready gone 24 rounds allready and the fights didn’t have the drama or excitement that would warrant a trilogy like fury/wilder or pac/Marquez. The only thing going for that fight is it’s looks more and more likely canelo smashes ggg this time around.
I think canelo/charlo will do the most numbers of the 4 and benavidez will have the most exciting fight with canelo due to his fighting style.
im willing to bet charlo/benavidez sells more Ppv’s than bivol/ggg.
Bivol doesnt move the financial needle and nobody but Saul fanboys care about a trilogy with G, which should have happened immediately after their rematch. G is old and past it at this point. Its not even competitive anymore imo.
How will it be a financial mistake? Golovkin's corpse sells more than Charla and Bumavidez. Bivol is not very famous but he has high level skills. Canelo haters will especially watch this fight. Also, DAZN is on its way to becoming the Netflix of the boxing world. Showtime's future is not that bright. It's end will be like HBO.
As far main stream goes ggg has fought himself into obscurity. Let’s not act like ggg popularity didn’t take a hit after the loss. Off course more people will tune in because he is fighting canelo but then they will go we seen this allready. Charlo and benavidez are undefeated so more people will tune in for that alone.
Indeed. even half dead GGG is more famous than Charlo and Benavidez. And Bivol is a great fight for boxing diehards because he is seen as high skilled fighter in boxing community.
Another thing about Bivol as an opponent that will drum some interest amongst the very casuals who would think about watching a Canelo fight is how those very casuals will go and ask their hardcore boxing fan friend "Does this guy actually have a chance to win this fight?" and I think a lot of those questions will get answers of "certainly," and variations on "possibly most likely to beat him since GGG." I think a lot of on the fence type casuals get the fight when they realize it is expected to be competitive
Lol financial mistake? If he goes DAZN how is he going to be able to pay his gas bill?
I agree with this. Let’s be clear- if he takes a $85 mil deal he isn’t hurting himself in any way.
If it’s PPV then there’s most likely an upside. I doubt Canelo is taking a flat fee for a PPV fight.
GGG is a bigger name to the casuals.
He picks up another strap from Bivol, a much tougher fight than Benevidez or Charlo, then retires BBB side in a stay busy fight.
Haymon will still be there with this fights. Maybe have Benevidez not lose his title on the scale.
Another fighter of the year award coming.

Financial mistake? So are you a boxing fan or Canelo`s financial advisor?
Fortunately Canelo doesn`t care much about casuals and "I have never heard of Bivol" people.
I doubt Canelo cares about that shìt. He's already set for life. Smith and Beterbiev fights in June. Winner will get 3/4 light heavyweight belts.
If Canelo beats Bivol, he gets the last belt at LHW, which makes him 1 fight away from being the only 2 division undisputed champ in the 4 belt era history.
That would be a nice feather on his cap but I’m talking from a financial standpoint.
