Comments Thread For: Team Canelo To Floyd: Saul Swept The Tour in Popularity

[Mr. Philadel]

cool....now we can look forward to hearing a bunch of cheers everytime the kid touches the air with his shots and roars if he actually land something big only for the scores to be wide at the end of the day and then the robbery claims and discredit of Floyd's win will be in FULL swing....dudes are already crying about the 32 ounces of body weight that Nelo isn't allowed to have on him when he steps on the scales as if Floyd will be the bigger dude on fight night...as if Floyd will not be at least 15 pounds smaller than Nelo when punches get exchanged

What's the difference when both boxers say they're gonna beat each other? They're both talking ****. Why does one get labeled different than the other? They talk **** then show respect postfight. Somehow Floyd gets the bad label.

I think the difference is their fighting styles! Don't promise a "war" and FOTY candidates when you're defensive and boring to casual fans! Who will hate you for that! Calling you a runner and then your choice of opponents makes the same people call you a ducker.. Ali fought the best, Tyson did too, Chavez sr, Leonard, hagler, Duran, bhop, ODLH, Moseley, Trinidad! All fought elite competition, and mayweather has old Moseley, small marquez, small hatton, baldomir, ancient gatti, Judah and war torn cotto.. Who of all them hatton is the only he ko'd! I know it's boxing not brawling before you say that.. But don't talk hype and deliver a glorified sparring session.. It's funny how the other day some mayweather fan had the nerve to call rigindeaux boring and yet riggy was willing to face Donaire and vice versa and mares.. Yet they call chosing baldo and Judah over a young pressure big fighter like margarito a smart business decisions.. I mean he got paid the same.. SMH!

Highest paid > Popularity

Exactly lol and Canelo to date is still yet to headline his own PPV... Last time U checked he has zero PPV sales as the headliner haha

[Starz20]

Unfortunately for Saul, the fight isn't won on popularity.

Very precise quote

[Starz20]

fraud 'the catchweight king' gayweather knows that canelo is the a-side and he is just tryin' to hitch a ride on canelo's popularity.

How many PPV has Canelo headlined?? enlighten me.... OH AIGHT

Sounds like you're already making an excuse in case Nelo actually comes in smart and uses footwork and head movement to make the fight close and claim robbery! Or just a little help from pappy haymon and mommy showtime for that decision! I think the only way canelo loses is if he doesn't stalk.. Ala Chavez vs mayweather (roger) because I really don't think money has the power to keep him off.. But if it goes the distance and its close.. Gotta go with mayweather!

It's like saying at 22 mayweather had as many fans as canelo and fighting the #1 guy in the sport? Oh right he's never faces elite competition.. SMH!

of course not,but the point is Floyd thinks he has fans,he thinks because of him canelo is well known,in that case other fighters who have fought on his cards before should have the same fans as canelo or atleast some fans,i can't think of anyone who has fought on his undercards that has had a giant leap in fanbase,not one,floyd is just in denial and jealous that he doesn't have fans following him around like they do canelo,and canelo is just getting started,if and if canelo wins,i can just imagine how it will be whenever he fights

Question? If Canelo has more fans and people watching him, and Floyd doesn't have many fans how come he is the highest paid athlete two years in a row?? I mean he must have some support if people don't like him and are willingly putting money in his pocket by watching him fight!

So your logic is inaccurate! Bradley, Rigo, GGG, you can say their great fighters without a strong fan base! But the #1 paid athlete in the world two years in a row to say he doesn't have fans is crazy! Wether their paying to see him win or lose, at the end of the day they're a paying customer aka (fans) or else they would not (Pay) nor (Watch) any of his fights! Because he is the only one who headlines PPV every time out since '05-06!

That's like a new dude coming in Golf with a strong ass fan base... claiming he is more popular than Tiger Woods but hasn't achieved nor earned anything that would suggest otherwise! You seem like a fair dude that is why I am showing you respect! But I disagree with your reasoning.

I'm pretty sure you were disgusted when the news first came up that the fight would be at a catch weight. Now you've changed your mind?

At least be consistent bro.

did grustler care about the catch weight?
