Comments Thread For: Teddy Atlas: London could be 'the money move' for Canelo Alvarez against Chris Eubank Jr.

The U.K fight fans are awesome. They always pack the venue and have a great time. The atmosphere for fights over there is the best. The ring entrances are usually top notch , with laser shows , fireworks and music . The chanting and singing from the fans is fun too. Canelo will sell there no matter who he's fighting , with a guy like Eubank who is popular over there , they would probably sell out Wembley .
It's a pretty cheeky move on the part of Dana "Smack My ***** Up" White to put a big show in Vegas on Mexican Independence Day. Shots Fired.

Is Chris Eubank Jr. popular in the UK? For what? I see that he's beaten a few Liams. He has the carcasses of DeGale and Abraham on his ledger. Canelo might as well just call these fights "exhibitions."

Apart from Joshua Eubank is the UKs biggest draw.

Whether it sells out Wembley not sure

Good point forgot about him. Probably pretty close.

Put them in poor fights and see who sells the most.

Jr is a joke , Canelo never lost a round to Liam Smith's much bigger and better brother Callum and everyone saw how little Liam hammered Jr. .This would be a 'bum of the month' type contest , a real embarrassing 'event' ....Chris Eubank Jr lives off his dad's name ...nothing more!

Even the atmosphere in venues like Bethnal Green are special. If you can put up with the pyss head “event fans” at the larger arenas then it’s an atmosphere like no other. Only Vegas and Brooklyn on the American side can compete. And yes, the “show” surrounding the ring walks, light shows, digital graphics, fireworks etc etc really magnify the show. And again, I admit my home country for supporting our country’s sons and daughters. We support our countrymen

i find it amusing thinking that eubank could be top 10 popularity let alone top 2 or 3, that would be shocking it if were true

Americans will find out that Brits don’t EVER root against their own against a foreigner. These little divisions that are so popular in the usa with certain groups….that’s not something that would happen in Britain. Even if Eubank hasn’t been overly popular m, if he were to take on Canelo in Blighty, he will have the support of British fans and casuals alike. America is an odd country wherein people root against the Americans when they are facing foreigners. A truly odd and disturbing occurrence….

I honestly think it's because the US is such a big place. I grew up in Detroit, and I'm still territorial when it comes to Michigan fighters, even though I haven't lived there in 40 years lol. The Kronk fighters were my team. TBH, a lot of states hate each other. Don't get me started on Ohio or Indiana!

forget about the mexican americans the mexican londoners will come out in support of canelo in their droves, they are even more loyal to him the their US counterparts

do u expect mexican americans to root against canelo for example when he fights an american? there are large immigrant populations spread across the states who support guys from their 'homelands'

also i wouldnt be surprised if for example even AJ would support a nigerian boxer who was up and coming in the UK etc
