Comments Thread For: Canelo's Backup Options Include Molina, Two Others

Molina...... freaking Molina on ppv...
Schaeffer... are you high?

[Respect Power]

What about Peter Quillen?

I'm thinking that's one of the names he wants to talk to canelo about, maybe a catch weight . Could be interesting. If not I wouldnt mind seeing him and Lara if he beats trout.

I don't care who you are in boxing,you need an opponent who will help you sell,look at Floyd agains guerrero,under one million,and we know it was under a million,but against canelo he does over 2 million,how is that? canelo/Floyd did more than cotto/Floyd,canelo no doubt helped Floyd put up those ppv numbers,against Molina I doubt canelo would do that good,look at cotto against mayorga,250k...and I consider mayorga way more popular than Molina and not only that he's good at hyping up fights...it takes two popular fighters to make a great ppv

Garcia-Matthysse didn't hurt Mayweather-Canelo's PPV sales either. Canelo isn't the cash cow he's hyped to be. Not even close. Be surprised if he breaks 500K with Molina.

As far as I know i'd say your absolutely right. Fighter make the most when they fight on ppv and that's why they push for ppv events. On regular showtime he would probably be making no more than 3 mill and after that Floyd fight and how well it sold he feels, and rightfully so if we go by the numbers, he deserves big money.

At the end of the day I enjoy watching him fight and would rather watch him for free specially if it's not against an elite fighter.

A fght has to pass my personal smell test before I'll order it. Generally, that only happens when its two bonafide elites, a bonafide elite fighting someone that's not considered elite but I think can beat them, or a fighter I'm a fan of. I've done Floyd-Canelo and Bradley-JMM this year. I'm a fan of Floyd's and I thought Bradley-JMM was a legitimate superfight. And honestly, the only reason I ordered Floyd-Canelo was because I wsnt feeling well and didn't feel like going to the theatre and watching it.

If Canelo even approaches 500k with Molina I think that solidifies him as a cash cow. I'd consider 350k a huge success.

I want Canelo to finally fight Lara so Lara can KO him but it won't happen because we all know that GBP doesn't want that.

Look for Lara to get robbed yet again by the judges against Trout so Lara can be out of the Canelo sweepstakes.

Canelo will do OK on PPV.He needs good under card though!

[Cinci Champ]

i could see mikey bay as an option

500k is more than cotto did vs mayorga, and you may not remember but canelo-mosley didnt hurt cotto-floyds numbers either and still wasnt even close to canelo-floyd... so much hate from ricans to canelo these days....
canelo already has a huge fanbase but haters are also welcome too...

Saul's fight in March won't be on ppv. They will reconsider and place it back on regular Showtime Championship Boxing like they always do. Unless it's Cotto :P
