What was the point of Canelo vs. Khan fight?

[Jdasilva2012]

I'm reviewing some of Canelo fights and this one is very intriguing to me because crystal jaw Khan had a 0.5% chance of winning that fight. He really was going to bag as many rounds as Canelo decided to give him just to make it looks competitive.

I'm afraid Canelo has been an underdog twice in his career. 1. Versus Mayweather and 2. Versus GGG* and most of us agree that he lost both fights. That let us will the sensation that most of his opponents were over matched and he could navigate to most of his victories imposing his superior physic not his boxing skills.

Finally... maybe the Bivol fight revealed something that most of Canelo's fan would never admit.

What was the point of GGG -Brook? Spence -Mikey Garcia? We have seen many mismatches for various reasons.

Khan won the poll to fight TBE TUE 51-0, and l'l floydy fought the loser, Maidana who whooped U boy a new one twice. It was the same tactic Canelo used to earn the first l'l floydy fight by beating up his sparring partner Ndou, former challenger Baldy, and stealing Magic Hatton.

Khan was also a high paying, high profile fight with international interests.

It's like U Viagra abusers think U real men when U can't even carry U own jocks.

Just a fight for the fighters to fill their pockets with money. Another meaningless circus fight of two named opponents.

There will always be mismatches in every sport.

Yeah it was a money fight. Still remember the shock when that fight was announced, everyone was like ‘wtf?!’.

Khan was a promoter's dream to boost their up and coming star. Khan was a big name that posed little danger, but most importantly his glass chin guaranteed a highlight reel KO for their upcoming star. GBP got all their moneys worth in overpaying Khan. Kirkland and Khan's highlight reel KOs made Ginger looked like a killer and boosted his fan base considerably. When Crawford failed to get a highlight reel KO against overpayed Khan was probably the moment Bob Arum just gave up on Crawford and considered him a money losing investment.

Big business, and a big challenge for Khan.

Amir Khan was probably a bigger fighter than Alvarez globally at that time.

Khan checked out before Crawford could flatiron him. GGG only gets away with Brook b/c he was leeching off of Canelo's name. Remove Canelo. GGG has nowhere to go after Brook but more "Goodboy" and "Mexican Style" BS and 120k ppv numbers. Crawford needed the Manny as Spence got a bump from fighting Mikey in which his numbers haven't been the same since then. There is always some kind of lifeline if you go back in time where you can see how a fighter got to the next stage. Without Manny, Spence is Crawford's but as with Manny PBC is not willing to put him in for the slaughter.
