Alvarez vs Mayweather is just a publicity stunt to gain interest in Alvarez

[dans]

Everyone knows this fight will never happen. How could it?

Why would GBP throw a 19 year old prospect up against the best fighter in the world? They wouldn't. Even if they could sell 100,000 tickets (that's a big if), Alvarez would have basically no chance and it would harm his earning power in the future, especially if he was dominated (likely).

IMO this is little more than a publicity stunt by Schaeffer to get Alvarez's name out there. Look what's happened already.

Yesterday no one knew this guy, today he's the talk of the town.

That's not a Big If, they would sell even 200, 000 tickets if there were a Stadium like that, Alvarez is that kind of STAR in Mexico, and Mayweather is known in Mexico too, thanks to his fight with Marquez and the 24/7 on Network TV on Televisa.

And if he loses the excuses will be he was only 19 years old, and fought the Best in the World, what a courage this kid has for fighting Mayweather they will say, it will not hurt that much his selling power, because of his age.

And a PPV with Money May will make him a Known Name to the casual american public.

Everyone's going crazy over it, which is what they want and why they did it. It's clearly just to get Alvarez's name around.

if Alvarez was a GBP fighter I could see this as being possible.. but he isn't so it doesn't.
Why would GBP promote a fighter which they hold no stock in?

Canelo's Manager, Rafael "La Cobra" Mendoza had a meeting with GBP this thursday i believe.

To finish the details of Canelo next fight on December 5 or November 27 in the States that will be promoted by GBP, there should be an announcement of his next opponent on this days.

Also Canelo's people rejected an offer of Top Rank to fight on December.
