Comments Thread For: Canelo Will Only Fight Pacquiao at 154, No Catch-Weight

to be fair, if its at 154 then nelo must wear pillow gloves. to be fair!!!

The Rios fight was in Macau, fights that are overseas don't do good on U.S. PPV for whatever reason

A better comparison would be Pacquiao vs Bradley 2 Numbers

Do you think Canelo can do more than 750-800k? I don't

That "Macau" excuse is bull****. That fight was in exact same time slot as any other PPV the takes place in Vegas or NYC.

And Bradley isn't a good comparison. Not only had he gotten a controversial decision over Manny in a previous PPV. He also did 400K with JMM. He's not a draw. But he does have mainstream exposure. The average mainstream media member or casual fight fan couldn't pick Lara out of a lineup.

He's going to whoop Pacquiaos ass. The old man will get savagely beaten.

aint nobody said he was soooo drained LOL.. look ataffected by then full damage control. obviously the weight affected him otherwise he wouldnt have any problems going down to face weak azz pacman.

What about Nelo's performance against Floyd leads you to believe he was affected by the weight, when compared to his past performances? To me he looked like the same guy that fought Trout in his previous bout. One that he weighed in at 153.

BTW, no need for "damage control." Just talking senseable to ****** f.ucks like yourself.

So Lara is a bigger draw than Rios.

Its not a bull**** excuse at all because its a fact. There were people the day before the fight on here asking what time they were gonna show the PPV

You wanted to compare Canelo with the Pacquiao of 2014 so that would be the Bradley 2 PPV. Quit trying to morph your points

[bojangles1987]

Alvarez probably can't even make 154 full strength anymore. There's no chance this happens because they will never agree on weight.

YOu can't have it both ways evol. You had no problem with the rios fight. You thought it would be a good exciting fight, as did many here on NSB. Once it flopped, Bob came in with the Its in china excuses and this was done just to get a foothold there etcetc.

You can't allow yourself excuses for Manny's failure then simply refue to accpet excuses when other ppv's don't achieve the expected success.

In Canelo's case-475k would be a 25?% jump from his lthe last ppv-his 1st as a headliner.
