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

[Sctrojan]

Bigger? Possibly/Probably....Better? No......

[MONGOOSE66]

Matchroom Boxing head Eddie Hearn will promote a Canelo Alvarez fight for the fifth time when the undisputed super middleweight champion takes on Gennadiy Golovkin on Sept. 17 on DAZN pay-per-view at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

I honestly can’t figure out why anyone would want to see a third fight. I’d rather see GGG/Charlo, GGG/Benavides, Canelo/ Benavides.

Spence has actually been trending down in buys. He peaked with Mikey Garcia(which was probably more to do with Mikey). He’s not pulling over 250k these days.

Mikey Garcia hasn’t headlined a PPV before or after that fight. Spence has headlined 3 more with similar buys.

360k vs Mikey
350k vs Porter
300k vs DSG
250k vs Ugas

Doesn’t matter anyway. The point is Hearn is exaggerating. Even if Spence vs Crawford bombs and only sells 350k PPV’s and $18 million at the gate, Canelo vs GGG III isn’t selling 3,500,000 PPV’s and $180 million gate revenue.

A lot of boxing fans I know no longer cares and are way over another canelo/ggg fight, and casuals don't know these guys well. Eddie hearn is delusional.

[Earl-Hickey]

Crawford and Spence are excellent fighters but who cares about them? Nobody

It's a damning indictment of the American boxing establishment

[sicko]

In his Opinion Yeah because he is Promoting Canelo vs GGG 3 and not Spence vs Crawford

Exactly why you have Failed MISERABLY here in the U.S. EDWARD!

Shakur and Haney both have the highest rated fights on ESPN but yet it is OLD Idiots in the Boxing Media who will tell you "Those Guys Are No A Draw!" "Nobody Wants To Watch Them..."

Spence vs Bud should be bigger though, Spence exposure on FOX is great for him but Bud was promoted so poorly by Top Rank and ESPN so while he is a excellent Boxer, I just don't think either him or Spence are all that interesting outside of the ring. Both don't speak much, neither has much Charism, when they do interviews both act as if they just want the interview to be OVER. Spence and Bud don't hate each other, Spence has more of a issue with Bo Mac than he does with Bud

Casuals and Mainstream America are not talking about Spence vs Bud at all and that is concerning, I sometimes tune in to Local Sports Radio Shows, I mean they NEVER talk about boxing anyway unless Mayweather is involved but yeah in order for a fight to be a Mega fight, it must have the attention of Casuals and Mainstream America and they don't right now and no they won't get it by October/November


Nobody is talking about Canelo vs GGG 3 either, that is long past his Expiration Date and it is Casuals who haven't seen GGG since HBO Boxing went out of Business. They didn't watch Derevyencheko, Rolls and Murata so for a Casual they're ask "Where In The Hell Has GGG Been?" Since that last fight

[1hourRun]

That was the Porter fight, right? Hilarious how be bounced as soon as Bud stopped Porter.

Yes sir. Indeed, the gif of salty Spence went viral.

[TMLT87]

Canelo/GGG 3 if it was on traditional PPV: 800-900k buys
Canelo/GGG 3 on DAZN PPV: 600-700k
Spence/Bud on traditional PPV: 600-700k

Thats how I see it.

Crawford and Spence are excellent fighters but who cares about them? Nobody

It's a damning indictment of the American boxing establishment

I am sure plenty of African American's, Mexican Americans and Asian boxing fans care about Crawford vs Spence Junior bout.

It is a bigger fight than Alvarez vs Golovkin and people will realize this as it happens.

The division they fight in has a bigger following than 160 and 168 pounds.

The casual element of Alvarez vs Golovkin is overrated. I think with today's exposure of the sport, people will be aware of Crawford vs Spence Junior.

What live dogs is Garcia and Tank coming off wins over?

Pitbull Cruz is a live dog! Ryan Garcia doesn't need a live dog, he's just a BIG attraction! Tank & Garcia combined will attract casuals, hardcore, etc., especially on SHO! Canelo is still popular, but GGG is dead!
