      Definitely be ringside when Canelo has to feast on his leftovers.
      I'll say this. better than being a PPV in a year already riddled with them.

        1st off, I was trolling. 2nd, Cotto won that fight on about 75% of ringside writers and boxing media on the night of. The right man won. CLEARLY.

            Agree, not enough Garcia/Salkas

              I agree. I had a feeling this might happen when I heard he was going to have to go on PPV to pay him when he deserves. There isn't a decent B-side that draws enough interest that isn't a risk of derailing the Canelo fight.

              When Timmy Bradley at MW is far and away your best realistic option to sell PPV's, probably best to just sit it out. No offense Bradley Tribe

                Apparently all the boxing media and people who actually know this sport are Rican too I guess

                Your red Karma bar suits you very well.

                    Yea, PPV would be a real hard sell and I think regular HBO would be a better build up.
                    I'm interested in seeing who they pick.

                    Canelo side, Clottey the easiest out of the 3 proposed opponents, but he's no Salka and it's on regular HBO.

                    As long as he doesn't become the great wall of Ghana again

                    All good, i'd like to see them fight, but the thought of two guys who aren't MW's fighting for the lineal title irks me. Would be better at 154
