Comments Thread For: Hearn Sees 'Boxing Internationally' as Next Milestone For Canelo

[al-Xander]

Any offer from PBC to Canelo Alvarez for the Jermall fight? I thought that's the fight Charlo has been waiting for. Why is Haymon not sending any offer to the Mexican superstar? Precisely the reason why Hearn has been making all these noises because he's anticipating counter offers from the PBC/Showtime camp. It looks like he has no competition this time around.

That's what I've been wondering about. Where is the $54 million guarantee PBC was intending to offer to Canelo for his another stint on Showtime? Seems he's become a mainstay on DAZN platform. Even ESPN has nothing to offer for him.

Canelo has to worry about his pay-per-view numbers. If he fights lower level opponent in the UK the pay-per-view will really bomb. Will hurt his career and star status

That was a made up figure by a desperate Youtuber. The narrative was Canelo turned down $54 million for a Charlo fight to cherrypick Bivol.

PPV is cheaper in the UK. ₤ 20 a pop.

What the idiots still don't understand is that PPV is over. PPV is an outdated marketing model for today.

Canelo is the last superstar in boxing and will likely remain the last. One of the dozens of proofs of this is that even he started to have difficulties in PPV sales, selling 1 million "globally" in his last fight, while he used to sell 1 million only in US before. Because of that, I don't think there will be any next superstar in boxing anymore.

High level PPV is now only available in UK. The delusional fans out there still buy a good amount of PPV. Joshua's last two bouts sold 1.2 million.

The goal now is not to sell PPV, but to build your PR by fighting on as many "continents" as possible. That's why he'll be successful in both PPV and PR by fighting in UK.

He should fight in one of the Arab countries after Ryder. They have the ability to organize. They showed it at WC 2022 which is the biggest sport organization ever. 4 billion people watched it. Canelo is a well-known athlete in North America and partially known in South America. But, not in Europe and Asia. Thanks to this, he will be better known in Europe and partially in Asia.

The whole "I'm the king of America, I only fight here" thing is over. That was correct in HBO era until 2018. Not now.

Ryder --> UK
Bivol rematch --> Arab region
Plant/Benavidez winner --> Mexico

You'll die if you don't adapt the change.

Picked up some British slang, huh?

I’ve been picking it up since the 60s, born in the U.K. mate

Canelo might as well fight GGG a 4th time. That is MUCH better then Ryder. Ryder has lost to guys that Canelo already beat LOL.
