Here it is at last. Canelo stepping up to the plate and fighting a live fighter in lara. The general school of thought by several is that action fighters will draw bigger buyrates then actual top notch opposition. I believe Canelo fighting a real huge threat will actually create much more PPV buys than the Angulo fight. Many thought Angulo was on the way out after quiting with his horrible eye injury suffered in the Lara fight. So what will it say if a guy like Lara who isn't a draw & isn't an all actin fighter say? It will make a statement that when a big name fighter truly challenges himself, the fans take notice! Sure there will be some casuals that won't make a huge distinction between Anglo & Lara. There will also be a huge number of fans buying this PPV because it is a toss up fight that could end up playing out several different ways. This is one fight I really can't call. Gun to my head I'll go with Canelo but I won't be suprised if Lara pulls it out with his skill set. This is absolutely must see for me and I will be coming out of pocket for the first time this year for this PPV. What do you think over or under compared to the Angulo PPV? I say it outperforms it comfortably.
Will Canelo-Lara buyrate exceed Canelo-Angulo?
