Comments Thread For: Canelo-Crawford venue confirmed to be Allegiant Stadium

[Grandma Lover]

It makes me wonder if they can fill it, and that’s just based on Crawford’s relatively obscure profile when it comes to main stream media and non-boxing fans.

Didn't carnela have a huge stadium fight against a virtually unknown Billy Joe?

This is THE fight in boxing. Please give us a truly great undercard to match. I'll help how about:

Benevidez v Smith
Eubank Jr v Adames
Boots v Benn
Tank v Lomochenko
Wilder v Joshua

Really tap into the UK market. Plenty of yanks on the card. Charge me Ģ50 if you like!!!!!!

The US has the best boxers both born there or not. Itīs a fight catered mostly for the US fans, nobody knows much about Brits, even though DAZN has been shoving them through our throats.

Man im seeing alot mixed predictions now, I'm sure they easily selling out venue and it'll be an overall success, hope fight itself live up to the expectations for the sake of boxing.

This is going to look beautiful on TV. Can't wait! I think Crawford is more talented than Canelo. He's a lot more fluid and skilled imo. BUT, Canelo is settled into 168. The size will be the difference. Crawford's frame might be similar to Canelo's or even larger, but he's not used to 168. I'm intrigued either way because Crawford's highly competitive nature coupled with his natural talent and abilities is what can set him apart from others that have dared to be great.

Crawford is not more talented than Canelo. Being more fluid doesnīt mean anything, the reason why he is more fluid is because he is of his race, which tends to be more athletic and muscle-coordinated. On the other hand, and you being Hispanic should know it, Canelo has more grit, chin, power and will something Crawford doesnt have and will start running and even worse, holding the moment he gets touched. Thatīs how all the slick ( hahaha ) Afro fighters do. And about the size difference, ther is none. Canelo started at 140 and is fighting giants, he should be at 154. Crawford is a weight bully and should be fightinf at 154 or more. Off season they both weigh the same.

You seem not to know much about the nuances of the sport or the business of boxing >
First and foremost - Lomachenko is retired now. Big news 10 days ago - where were you?
Benn will never ever go near Boots while the rematch with Eubank Jr is still possible
And the converse is true of Eubank Jr. regards belts at 160.
Wilder vs Joshua will never be on an undercard unless they are both irrevocably washed.
Only Benavidez - Smith is a likely fight and that will be it's own headliner - Benavidez will eat 2 mugs of sawdust before he allows himself the indignity of being put on a Canelo undercard.

My brother lives in Henderson and Vegas is only a 3-4 drive for me. I will be there.

The fact that the biggest fight of the year is taking place during the day, is sad. There goes the night time boxing parties. The only thing that can save this fight, is if the fight is a classic...

The nuances of boxing? The only nuance you need to know about in boxing is that a big fat wad gets you what you want baby.
Yes Lomachenko is retired now. Make him an offer he simply can't refuse
Again, with Benn just offer more than he'd get fighting Eubank. The rematch with Eubank will always be there. Not sure there's really the interest for it to be their next fight. It worked amazingly as a one off event.
Wilder and Joshua are washed. Again offer them something ridiculous. Yes they're headliners but this is Canelo-Crawford. The biggest fight in boxing. The exposure the winner will get means they'll be next up for a shot at a HW title.
It makes perfect sense for Benevidez to be on this card. The story is already there. Maximise its worth.

Thank you, thank you.

Are you sure it's happening during the day?

It's the Brits that have taken boxing to the heights it is right now. To truly maximise exposure it needs to grab the UK fight fans. The biggest PPVs audiences are UK fights. With the card I've proposed it would tap into it and even through the night a lot would stay up to watch and pay for it.
