Comments Thread For: Canelo Back on March 8, July 26 and November 22

Am I the only that would rather Canelo-GGG over Canelo-Cotto?!! That fight doesn't seem that impossible to make either but no one seems to mention it.

[LADIV]

lol floyd and canela can shove their ppv up their ass. I'd rather pay 55 for the ufc ppvs cause i know ill get at least 4 or 5 good fights.

you will pay the money and watch the fights cause your boy danny garcia will be on the undercard...so no need to talk nonsence

The B-Side is just as important as the A-side..you can fill your mouths with criticisms over people stating the obvious but there is a reason that the Mayweather vs Guerrero buy numbers are still obfuscated this long. The way some people here make it seem it's almost like Floyd could show up and shadowbox nobody for 12 rounds and sell a million ppv's which is clearly not true. The opponent is just as important at this star at this level of money and promotional budgets. I dig Floyd but as he himself has stated "People aren't watching to see me win, they tune in to see if I lose"..I.E. meaning people's interest is on what kind of performance his opponent can put up against him...everyone is aware of what Floyd has done and can do.

This is 2013 bro not 2008. Nobody cares if he loses or not.

no way showtime does 5 ppv's in a year.

Do you mean Showtime or GB or both?

Well I prefer it this way. I'd rather them keep their budget open then blow it all on 3 mismatches and/or rigged Texas fights.

Yea but isn't Showtime still responsible for paying the fighters on the card?

Great news to hear that Canelo is fighting three times next year, the more he fights the better for the fans as long as it is also against true competition.

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

He will probably do may/guerrero numbers. He could do better if he gets a legit opponent.

Only fights I want to see are: cotto & martinez.

Both w/ HBO. I'm sure Dibella is willing to burn some bridges for that PPV $$$

If Bradley vs Marquez (A Mexican fkin legend) didn't even get Mayweather-Guerrero numbers what makes you think Canelo will?

No way in hell Canelo is doing 700k+

Chavez Jr(who's popularity at the time was equal or greater) did 475k against the universally recognized MW champ who had fought numerous times on HBO and had been in good scraps had been in good scraps vs names like Williams and Pavlik. He'll be lucky to do 400k, especially after he got thoroughly outclassed vs Mayweather.

^ Exactly

[brick wall]

canelo's fights would go back to being non-ppv unless his opponent is either cotto or martinez. none of the available gbp fighters is worthy of a ppv fight for canelo.

Good news, hopefully we get 3 good fights.
