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

[Bronx2245]

Ok, how about this, we add up the #'s for Rios and Bradley and compare them to the #'s for Angulo vs Lara. Whoever has more will be the A-side

Rios 500k
Bradley 2 800k
Total 1.3 million

Angulo 350k
Lara ???

So canelo would have to do 950k just to tie Pacquiao. Do you think Canelo vs Lara can do that? I think it struggles going over 500k

I think Canelo's last 2 fights were Mayweather and Angulo, just so that you're comparing apples to apples. Do that math, and see what comes out.

Pac can fight giants, but when I say Ward should fight some one larger, I'm wrong. I can't figure some people out.

B-sides don't count. This thread isn't about Pacquiao negotiating against floyd

u're right, i was expecting atleast 600-700k in ppv. but that wasnt the point as to why i favor this fight when it was announced so how can i be switching up now when ppv#'s wasnt even in my radar when i said this will be a good match up for manny to see where he's at?

if u go back and look at my old post from this match up, my main argument for this fight was that rios is a come foward guy who is gonna test manny and thats why i want to see this fight because i wanna know where manny is at coming off that KO from marquez.

we debated this fight a ton, so I know exactly where you were on it. You made valid points. At the end of the day after Manny got KO'd his next fight didn't sell well. Maybe it is because casual fans like to roll with winners when it comes to boxing. Maybe it was backlash to the fight being in china.

Just no excuses though. You sell what you sell. Canelo will likely get the big numbers should cotto beat sergio and they fight next. I agree with you he won't outsell Manny now.

But if he does-just give him credit for it.

You can twist the numbers anyway you like. Fact is, Bradley isn't in the conversation because he's a known commodity. Angulo is a fair comparison to Rios.And Lara is a fair comparison to Rios. Ginger did respectable numbers with Angulo. Did better than I thought it would. But it showed he was still a lil behind Manny with an equal level opponent. He gets another shot here with Lara. Let's see what happens.

Pac aint fighting Canelo..... why fight the champ at 154... if he is going to fight golden boy fighters... theres a ton of good fights with the guys @ 47 over there.

None of these guys bring Canelo type money.

If I dig through your post history. Will I find anything suggesting Nelo was the A-side against Floyd?

[WilkinsOlajuwon]

Who ****ing cares who is the A-side? fanboy trash thread

TIL that posting official numbers is called twisting

So first you wanna compare Canelos 2014 numbers to Pacquiao 2014 numbers but then you don't wanna count the Bradley 2 numbers?

Whos really twisting them? I personally don't care how many buys Canelo vs Lara does because its a good fight. But unless he does 1 million he has no case when it comes to the A-Side, that's the only point I'm trying to make

No, but be my guest

The A-Side is the one with his name announced first and Canelo had never headlined a PPV before. It's pretty obvious that Floyd was the A-side
