I've heard Hearn say they may target September 11 so in that case it shouldn't be a problem but if they put the fight on September 18? Well..........

I actually think Oscar will still draw huge numbers. At his peak Oscar was one of the most popular fighters the sport has ever seen.

Oscar better put testing in this.

Will be interesting what happens if both are on the same date. If Canelo vs Plant take place on FOX PPV, then you will have two PPVs running at the same time. If that fight is put on DAZN, then I think they will be just fine. This will be one of Hearn's arguments he uses to put the fight on DAZN for sure.

Is this how we're going to balance out these crossover fights by the boxer being at a gigantic size disadvantage?
I preferred the Eddie Alvarez fight or someone in between. Vitor is twice Oscars size and then some

Victor isn't all that much bigger. He's 6", Oscar is 5'10". I'd say Oscar has been walking around at about 170+ these days. I like Oscar's skills to beat Victor's size any day. Oscar has been looking pretty good in training for a guy who is 47 and hasn't been in the ring for 13 years.

Risky for Oscar tbh. Especially if Vitor is on the TRT again.

You thoughts on De La Hoya vs ex-UFC fighter Vitor Belfort bout announced.
Do you care? Will you watch? Do you think it will pull big numbers and ticket sells?
