    why are people complaining about this match up Canelo lost to Mayweather and Angulo dropped Lara and lost in FOTY candidate.

    smh its not like he lost to Mike Alvarado people complain about people ducking fights but when a guy losses in a good fight he is unworthy all of a sudden.

      I'll say this, it's a very intriguing fight, and not necessarily an easy one to pick. But I agree with those who say the undercard has to be great for this fight to be worth the cost of PPV.

      The boring match up of Cruz vs. Majaris isn't going to cut it. They need a truly compelling undercard fight to justify PPV, or else they are going to get hit hard with the numbers on this one.

People are saying two fighters who lost shouldn't be on PPV when they supported Manny vs Rios when both was coming from L's. Boxing fans only cry about supporting the sport Football and Basketball or Baseball fans don't whine about.

          carlos molina has an awful style. awful. he should never be on PPV. you'll never hear me defending him... other than right now.

          he's a much more meaningful fight than angulo. he's a better fighter, with better wins. he "deserves" a shot more than angulo.



          manny pacquiao is not an appropriate comparison for alvarez, man. manny's done all the work that alvarez hasn't. he's one of the best boxers of all time, and has a better resume than any active fighter.
          in addition, that fight bombed in comparison to old manny ppv.


          complaints about this fight can't all simply be cast off as mayweather - pacquiao war rhetoric.


          alfredo angulo in 2014 is a ppv tune up fight for a guy who hasn't done anything with his career. people are defending this fight because he's got a style that will be entertaining in defeat.

                With Molina being added to the bill I'm backtracking and now saying NO.

                  i usually plan on buying fights. i'll probably end up buying this one for a lack of anything better to do on a saturday night, and the fact that i don't really care for streams.

                  that doesn't make it a good ppv. this will set one hell of a precedent if it does well. you guys will have to get used to crap like this.

                    I like angulo. But Canelo vs Alfredo is not a ppv worthy fight and the under card is decent nothing special
