Arum says he'd match Chavez Jr. with Canelo 'immediately.

[Evil Abed]

I say why not? Both fighters are riding high a wave of popularity, are undefeated and have titles and this fight would be huge in Mexico. If the fighters, promoters, tv execs, etc. wait too long, one or both of these guys might lose a fight or two and then this proposed fight isn't as big...

Losses aren't a big deal for 95% of Mexican fighters.

Outside Chavez Sr. it would seem that most Mexican fighters improve after a loss.

Margarito, Israel Vazquez, Johnny Gonzalez, JMM etc....

Might as well get that L out of the way and worry about getting good fights.

Is a fight that should happen TBH.

Is it a meaningful fight? No.

Is it a big fight? Yes it can be.

If the fight is held in Mexico. It can easily get 100K people in attendance.

And, if the fight is held in May or September. In a Mexican holiday weekend. It can easily sell at least 500k in PPV's.

And, if the fight is held above 154...Then I'm not so sure that Alvarez could beat JCC Jr...

No it won't. It will have more than 50 million people watching it though, EASY!

I think he beats him at 158.

Feather fisted Zbik gave him hell.

I know different styles, but I think Canelo fights smart pressures in spots.

If you box against Chavez he looks lost in the sauce.

Yea it can sell at least 500k.

True, but then again I think JCC might be the best fighter that Alvarez has faced thus far.

To me this would be a step up for both fighters.

If you're talking about Mexican market in Mexico then yea, in the states, it won't. Unfortunately, it would be shown on Televisa or something for free. Lots of people here in the states can get that channel through the satellite/cable provider.

[MELLY-MEL...]

that's great I didn't expect that from bob. They should make this fight ASAP before one of them (likely chavez) loses. Fight will be freakin HUGE in Mexico and would get great ratings in the US.

I'm also surprised arum admitted they both haven't been impressive.

this........

Neither GBP or TR will make a fight of Alvarez-JCC Jr and put it on Telivisa or Telefutura man *sigh*

That **** would be on PPV and if it's in one Cinco de Mayo weekend or Mexican Independence day weekend it can very easily do at least 500k on PPV here in the U.S.
