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

[Oregonian]

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.

The “exposure” Wilder and AJ will get? Man oh man!

You think AJ needs exposure by being on the undercard of a Canelo fight? lol! This is unreal!!!

AJ got a bigger pay than Canelo by fighting Usyk. Twice.
And somehow, YOU think he’ll get exposure? Ha ha ha!!! I’ve read some crazy SHÝTÈ here but this is up there.

S. Ray Leonard said there's always a way to win, so he gives Crawford a chance. If Canelo comes in sharp it will take a superhuman effort from Bud to win.

Don't go into promoting - you'd be broke and you'd be a goat in a sinking boat - especially if charging just £50/ticket.

Maybe you've been asleep awhile. There's a chap from Saudi Arabia with very deep pockets. He's splashing the cash. I'm using his money!!!!!

Read what I wrote rather than what you think I wrote. AJ is done but a win on the biggest fight will resurrect him.

Beautiful response to someone who DKSAB! And I don’t mean that in a disrespectful way.
How someone is unaware that Loma retired almost two weeks ago is crazy.

I knew. He's retired not dead.

The only chance Crawford has is if Alvarez doesn't train his ass off and shows up sluggish and out of shape like he did against Bivol. A lighter, sharper Alavarez is too much for a moving-up-in-weight Crawford in any scenario.

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.

If people want British Boxing fans to boast this fight 'Then they should have campaign for it to be staged in the UK'.

British Boxing has always been booming, and the fans are always very passionate 'The Nation is a sporting country i.e. meaning they will support any sporting events which are held in the country, people don't necessarily have to be hardcore fans of a sport to suddenly go from 0 to 100 miles a hour in supporting it. That is what happens in the UK, Australia and other sporting nations around the world. America for all of its sporting accolades, have never been that type of nation or had that level or culture'.

But America does have a giant market 'A boxing fight and event has a extremely high ceiling and potential if it is staged in the United States. The challenge is promoting the fight, and getting the American boxing fans to support the fight. So far how do you think that is going? Every single week there are Americans heavily critiquing this fight'.

Note: British Boxing biggest fight in recent years was Wladimir Kiltschko vs Anthony Joshua 'They have not come anywhere near to reproducing an event, of the same magnitude or historical significance. In terms of World to Elite level boxing fights'.

British Boxing fans adore mega domestic fights 'I personally when it comes to passion, have mostly been intrigued by domestic level fights more than World to Elite level fights. The reason why those types of fights can appear almost on par with Global level fights in the UK. Is because those match ups, have narratives, themes and story lines'.

I think that is the difference between British and American boxing right now 'It seems like for a very long time, America have been unable to produce rivalries with story lines and narratives that capture the imagination and intrigue of the nation'.

The of the last real all American fights I really enjoyed were Paulie Malignaggi vs Adrien Broner, Zab Judah vs Miguel Cotto and Danny Garcia vs Keith Thurman.

To conclude: Terrence Crawford vs Canelo Alvarez is a mega fight 'But what exactly is the story line? Who is the bad guy, who is the good guy? Is there even that type of dynamic in the fight? What does this fight mean for the fighters? Is it just business? This fight has almost zero plot and narrative. But maybe one will develop over time, as fight night draws closer and the magnitude of the event becomes more intensified'.

It will be interesting to see how this fight is promoted, and whether the fighters play there part in creating theatre during the build up etc.

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.

nah, this fight is gonna sell... fans and stars gonna show out. it's canelo vs crawford.

if it's crawford vs B/C level guys, then it wont do well, but once you bring in a guy like canelo, it's a different ball game.

[IceTrayDaGang]

So 65k people will get to see Canelo lose in person!? Can't hate on that. I'm forecasting a similar fight to Crawford-Spence here...

LOL!!!!!

how did TC's fight at 154 played out??? was it similar to TC vs spence?

[IceTrayDaGang]

How much money are you risking on that outcome?

zero!! he's gonna be on here after the fight "TC was too small, everyone knew this going into the fight"...
