I don't think Canelo - Trout should be a featured event on the main page

    Last I checked this is an American website, the American audience cares more for 154 pound fighters than those under featherweight.

    So in America the bigger fight is Canelo-Trout, which is a Mexican against an American, so it also makes sense that the fight would be bigger for that reason~

      Like Canelo, nobody. But the difference is he's fighting his most dangerous opponent in his fight no 12, not 42. Not to mention he's one of the best amateur of all time.

        i'm sorry but a 22 year old attemping to unify with best at 154 seems
        to be bigger deal to me.

          Canelo-Trout is a much more important fight, to me Rigondeaux looks like a worn out fighter.

              You dont need to do anything to be a superstar in this sport. Boxing has become a popularity contest. Havent you figured that out yet.

              This chinese guy Arum is throwing out there he is claiming this will break records and this and that but its a 4 rounder and this guy hasnt fought anyone. literally anyone and he gets the main billing on HBO.

                How so? Rigo looks good but he has 11 fights.

                Look both are great fights but i personally believe Canelos will be bigger.

                  I think both should appeal equal to hardcore boxing fans, both are quality fights between top guys.

                  So the difference would be casual fans, which would favor the bigger more local guys.

                    Both are excellent matches but canelo/Trout is thee more important fight because this fight contains hype involving Floyd Mayweather.

                      These are both great fights between great fighters. Each fight has the two best men in the weight class going into each other. I think Donaire is pfp. the best fighter in the world and I think he will KO Rigo but Rigo is very good. Canelo is my favorite very young fighter so that is the fight I look forward to the most. Canelo is a big moneymaker and his fight will make the most money. Canelo has almost three times as many KOs as Rigo has total pro fights even if you think most of his KOs were over bums. 11 pro fights is just not enough fights to make you famous.
