Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn: Canelo-GGG III Is 10 Times Bigger Fight Than Spence-Crawford

[1hourRun]

Some people are out of the loop. Look at this crowd at ATT stadium.

May appeal more to the casuals, but if on the same day, same time I am absolutely watching Spence/Crawford over Canelo/GGG.

To be fair, Hearn is correct. Maybe not to the tune of 10x but commercially and interns of revenue generating it isn't close.

Agreed!


If it happened in 2017

If this comment doesn’t make people realize Eddie Hearn is a pathological liar, then nothing will.

Hearn is right when you factor in international appeal.Ggg and Canelo are bigger worldwide. Facts. USA fans outnumbered.

[TonyRespectful]

Both are unbeaten it does not get better than that. Two white fighters he means

Just had to pull the race card, didn't you ? Shameful

It really depends how you define "bigger". Hearn is only saying this because he's involved in the GGG-Canelo III promotion. If he promoted Bud or Spence he'd be singing another tune. As far as the more important fight and a bigger matchup that is more relevant and highly anticipated, it's Bud-Spence by a long shot. As far as tickets sold and revenue generated, it's probably GGG-Canelo III but in that case, it only shows the ignorance of boxing fans and the appeal of the trilogy fight to casual fans. As far as pro boxing is concerned in relation to a fight that needs to happen and is more consequential, Bud-Spence is much bigger, more important and more interesting.

Spence Crawford in a legacy division has the potential of Hearns/Leonard if Spence's defense is up to par when Crawford starts to run downhill on him while Canelo GGGimmick is regurgitation. We have already seen the last 2-3 fights GGGimmick body is on the level of Keef Thurman and DAZN execs had to make a call from the sidelines and bail him out of his last fight.

I would say so, I believe Spence and Crawford will do good as well, I can see them pulling about half a million to 600k depending on the price. Canelo has averaged 850k in his last 2, I can see GGG fight pulling in around the same or close to a million here in the states. World wide though, Canelo, GGG brings in more money.
