      Canelo/Lara could do the same numbers as Canelo/Angulo, especially if they sell it right. Showtime could air both of their fights with Angulo for a month before the fight and it would gain a lot of interest in seeing the winners fight each other, not to mention that it would be a unification fight.


      Canelo/Lara could definitely do 350,000 buys like Canelo/Angulo did.

        I respect UTEP and way2strong a lot now because they're Mexican fans (I think) and don't sugar-coat stuff just to defend fighters from their own nationality and call ish how they see it, kinda like how I do regarding our British fighters

          to be honest....i don't see how so many of you are seeing this as a "walk in the park" for lara. in my opinion canelo has the power timing & combinations that could give lara a run for his money.........the key thing that canelo would try to put on lara is hard body shots.

          50 50 fight in my opinion...........

            I always call a duck for what it is bro, doesn't matter if the ducking fighter is Mexican like me or not. I'm still gonna call a duck a duck. It's straight bullshyt.

              Stop with the Lara ****e,please.He has had 5 big prize fights.

              He lost to Molina.B.S Gift Draw
              He was losing to Vanes.He looked sluggish and did not impress at all.
              He beat Paul Williams.He took a loss but the Molins fight evened things out.
              He KO'd Angulo after taking a beating.This fight impressed me the most. He looked good getting up off the canvas and showing heart.
              He looked great against Trout. I expected a better fight but he did well.

              Canelo would easily beat him,IMO.

                I don't think so man. Two toe-to-toe Mexicans were fighting each other in Angulo-Canelo, is a little different to Alvarez chasing Lara around the ring.

                Plus, Canelo will likely want to do more than 350,000 buys with his next fight.

                    If Rios can make 140 then I'm the f'n Easter Bunny. Rios could barely make WW for Pac fight. He walks around at 170 lbs and isn't the most motivated fighter. He is talented and has a fun style to watch.I'm a fan but his days at under 147 are long gone.

                      I bet it would do better than 350,000 buys, Canelo and Angulo were both coming off losses which hurt the PPV sales big time, this fight here would be 2 fighters coming off wins fighting for Lara's WBA belt. Canelo would get his chance to become champion again, that alone would be a big selling point.
