[Richie_R]

Canelo is the biggest name in a bad era for boxing.

Is that the excuse now?. How bout when DLH was the face of boxing ? Es dragged bad era too? Lol

Subscription streaming services are a new thing so buy rates for that can't be compared to the numbers from the old PPV model. It's apples and oranges.

There's never been more tickets sold to an indoor boxing match in the US, in the state of Texas or in any other state. Why are you going out of your way to try to find a way to downplay such a big accomplishment? Just salute Canelo for being the man.

The 70,000+ that will be in attendance won't be just people of Mexican descent. I guarantee that. All the Mexican support makes it safe to say that Canelo has massive popularity in two countries, though. I bet he sells out in England too if he ever goes across the pond. The guy absolutely has worldwide appeal.

then why did an exhibition fight between two has beens from the 80’s and 90’s (Tyson vs Jones) outshine his fight with smith late last year? Why did the clown show with Floyd and Paul completely take over social media and other outlets way more than anything related to canelo vs Saunders? Why did dazn bail on his guaranteed contract as multiple reports stated subscriptions for his fights have disappointed every time? Why was he forced by dazn to sit gloved up in the locker room for 90 min for his fight with Kovalev waiting for a ufc main event between two guys with 25 losses between them to finish, in hopes that subscription buys would go up once the more popular event finished? As the A side canelo has actually only done good Ppv numbers with ggg and Chavez jr. He’s not the worldwide star you think he is.

Yes indeed clenelo is the face of boxing but all this cherry picking is a complete joke. Khan, Chavez jr, Kirkland, Angulo, L. Smith, no heart Jacobs, weak Fielding, weak and shot kovalev, weak C Smith, pathetic Yildrim and now the walking punching bag Saunders. Next is Plant, Lemieux and old and slow ass lil G trilogy. Good GOD this is pathetic.

I could do that BS with all Floyd opponents too.

Wake me when this guy fights Charlo, Benavidez, Beterbiev or Bivol. Until then he's a boring, decision fighter, who is using his A side power to create very favorable matchups.

So does Crawford need to fight GGG and Charlo to be relevant also?

Could have sworn I saw Canelo cherry pick a 175 title against a shop worn Kovalev who had almost no time to prepare. If you nab low hanging fruit in a division, then expect to be asked about real challenges in said division.

BJS knows he already lost. It's written all over his face.
