Comments Thread For: Mosley, Rodriguez, Rosado Considered for Canelo 5/5 Bill

[Ged21]

Sometimes i think you guys are very unrealistic with the fights you want done...I understand people want to see Canelo-Kirkland or Canelo-Williams or some other huge money fight in the undercard of a huge money fight...guys this is the undercard..it would be awesome for us fans to see a fully loaded card but the fact of the matter is this sport is a business and will conduct itself as one. So your going to get Canelo fighting a smaller name. If your Golden Boy and you can get Mosley cheap and sell him on "if you beat Canelo you can earn more money in your next fight" then you have a hell of a card. The casual fan (who make up the bulk of the ppv numbers) will recognize all four opponents...Floyd, Cotto, Canelo, and Mosley. Thats your best best to maximize profits. If Mosley asks for too much money then you move on to rodriguez and you still have Canelo as a big undercard attraction fighting a budget friendly opponent. As much as this sucks you guys need to understand this is reality. Stop crying because your dream fights are not going to be part of an undercard...those fights you want will end up as headline fights in the future.

Just cause boxing is a business doesn't mean you have to buy a crap product. At times you have fighters that know in taking a risky fight and winning it impressively is a worthy investment to get your name out there big time or to be in a position to gain even bigger fights.

It works both ways

As far as buying a crap product that's on the consumer. If you believe a Mayweather-Cotto with a Canelo-Mosley undercard is crap then simply don't buy the ppv end of story. My comments were more to the people that wanted to see Canelo fight Paul Williams or Canelo fight Kirkland...fights that are obviously not Undercard material...these fights are main events in themselves and as a business it would be ****** for Golden Boy to just "give" that fight away, when they can definitley market that fight as a ppv and everyone makes more money (promoters and fighters).

Of course everyone would love to have their dream fights all on one card, however we must understand and realize that this will not be the case. Especially when there is so much money to make in this sport. I totally see how it sucks for us fans but similarly you must see how this is the best thing to do as a business man. Canelo is very very young still, just be patient and im sure we will see him in big fights sooner rather than later.

As you might know the problem with having a big name star in a division that only fights second tier opponents makes the division stagnant cause anybody can get an opportunity instead of fighting each other.

In the other hand what we have, a worthy champ or a circus act that his fans just want to see win.

I believe Canelo can do a lot of good things but he is not challenged enough and he might get used to it.

How about the guys like Rodriguez with little promotion company pushing them fighting tough fights, he deserves an opportunity cause he earned it

Surprise surprise, read up before posting.

I don't give a fuck what Canelo does anymore. Just put Rodriguez vs Rosado in the undercard as well.

That's what i want to see. D-Rod beats Rosado in a good one.

Just do the Mosley fight or whatever.

People will watch.
