Yeah. I feel like he probably isn't but with only 12 amateur fights it could be pretty deep waters.
Kov is kind of on the slide though even though he looked good in his last outing.
If DAZN was doing the same thing to the fighter you're paying DAZN to watch, wouldn't you do the same. Canelo, atm the biggest star in boxing, probably isn't even going to fight until next may now. This is ridiculous. Why support them at this point? How does this help them or boxing..? This is a huge monetary lost for DAZN.
I would be really surprised if Canelo sat out till May. If he did that would be a huge loss though.
This is how we distinguish between a boxing fan and a boxer fan. Whiny ass people.
Here we go^^^^
DAZN is literally my fav platform available right now with or without Canelo.
Not to mention he got dropped by linares struggled with Pedraza (TKOD by tank 7th round). How this dude p4p again? just because he was a decorated AMATEUR Fighter??
Shut up dude
Kovalev is definitely old but I think this fight is still intriguing for a number of reasons. Yarde was no pushover and Kovalev managed to take over an win in spectacular fashion. Kovalev still has enough in the tank to give anyone at 175 problems.
I think even with Kov's age there's a really good chance he could spark Canelo out on fight night provided he doesn't get drained to 170 or something crazy.
Don't count on it. Also, if Mayweather does fight TBA on May 2 on PPV and Alvarez fights James Kirkland or anyone else on the same date on HBO, there will be more people who will pay to watch Mayweather fight TBA than there will be who watch Alvarez for free on HBO.
lol do you actually believe that dude? I mean really believe that.
If they both were free, I'd watch Mayweather, no doubt. But Canelo vs. Kirkland (FREE) against Mayweather/Cotto ($75), no question in my mind I'm going with the Canelo fight.
Not to mention I am so pissed at Floyd right now I can't even speak. Even Stephen A. Smith said he's boycotting Floyd's fight till Pac gets made. I am in the same boat and I bet you a lot of other folks are too right about now.
about them agreeing to all of mayweathers demands and that he doesn't want to sign the contract? Mayweather has come out and said they are negotiating and there is no contract yet.
Alex Ariza is a snake. I trust him even less than Arum. If anyone is blocking the fight at this point, it's Haymon/Floyd.
I will pay whatever it costs for a May/Pac fight. Any other opponent for Mayweather....I'll wait for the replay.
Mayweather/Cotto II is honestly intriguing but not to shell out $75 for. I hope Mayweather realizes he is burning the fans hardcore for this crap.
This is even worse than 2009.
Just as an aside, I'm giving SHO until the end of Floyd's contract. If the schedule is still as weak as it currently is, you can bet I'm unsubscribing.
I wouldn't be surprised if Rigo does get beat by this guy. 5'10", 7" reach advantage, and a good KO%.
I think he has 4 losses on his record? So I guess he's not unbeatable so who knows.
With that being said - tell GGG to stop ducking the LINEAL WORLD MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD - stop fighting fringe MW contenders and be prepared to get good boy'd by King Cotto. I hear Canelo is looking to take a scalp too, GGG can get that ass beat by the Ginger too.
To GGG, Cotto is the Babadook
Dude your delusional.
How the hell is Manny not on this list?
The only 8 div world champion. Fought most of the greats of his divisions in their primes, and for the most part walked right through them.
Started his career at 108 pounds! Say what you want but ALL the greats have losses. Manny needs/has to be on any credible list of the ATG of the last 70+ years.
I really don’t see may vs pac 2 happening.
Broner is going to put a stop to all this talk on Jan 19 when he beats pac then he will fight Floyd in August or September and a emotionally charged broner will knock out mayweather in devastating fashion.
I really hope this guy is still around after next week...
Dude.......
So he won't pay 8K for VADA but wants to drop $35K on some random other testing organization. In other words pay extra not to use VADA.
Isn't this guy hooked up with the same guy who roided up JMM?
Whoever perpetrated the rumor of 40 million being offered to cottonis a plain idiot and anyone who actually believed that bs is even more of an idiot. That would be more than mayweather would make for the fight lol when in reality they would offer him something like 75/25 or less
Exactly dude. But I don't doubt for a minute Cotto was offered something*** to take the Floyd fight.
Dan Rafael confirmed in one of his boxing chats that 100% Cotto was given an offer from Al Haymon.
I like Cotto but he can be a super diva sometimes. This is just Cotto dragging his heals. IMO, the fight gets made May 2 (barring Pac/Floyd)
From all accounts, it seems like boxing fans will know for sure by the end of Jan if Canelo/Cotto Pac/Floyd gets made.
Really excited about the prospect of this fight and hope it gets made soon. Boxing fans got it rough sometimes (Pac/May anybody?).
Right now the only 2 fights I would purchase on PPV are Pac/Floyd and Canelo/Cotto. Maybe*** Mayweather/Thurman too.
Tired of getting burned with these $70 showcase fights when they replay the next week for free...
Pacquiao wasn’t meant to win lol.
100% Al brought MP in to give his 147 fighters a older name opponent that would pose a manageable amount of risk. I think the absolute worst case scenario for Al would be if Pac somehow pulls off a win against Spence.
This won't tempt Floyd to come back...
The sport is better off without Floyd. I saw almost all of Floyd's PPV's from Cotto onwards and there was rarely a memorable moment let alone a good fight (except for the Maidana fights).
I give him credit for being one of the greatest of our generation but definitely do not miss that guy.
