Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: I Have Orders, Canelo Wants May Date

[Deevel916]

Maybe this is a stretch but I don't see Mayweather vs (Someone not named Manny) outdoing Cotto-Canelo in May.

This ^^^

Maybe this is a good thing. It will put some fire under floyds azz to fight Pacquiao!

Back a changed man.

Anyway khan v floyd in uk and canelo v ? On a split PPV. Uk times would allow that i think. And PPV would sell BIG

That's a great shout, I didn't think of that.
Now that would be a jizz-worthy boxing saturday. Sadly, Floyd won't leave Vegas.... Would he?

[-MEGA-]

yea but where at? Im sure Mayweather has MGM on lock.

He did have a chance to TAKE that date from Mayweather like it should be done and well...HE FAILED!

But it would be good marketing for him and Oscar if they had that date to work with so I understand that but that doesn't guarantee HIGH PPV BUYS, good match ups is what = GOOD PPV Numbers, also the Ability to sell yourself to the AMERICAN CASUALS because...well...YOU'RE FIGHTING IN AMERICA!

Canelo is not a PPV Draw Yet, it takes more that just MEXICAN FANS to be a PPV Draw here in the US, you have to get the attention of the Casual Americans to pull good PPV Numbers. All of the All Time PPV Buys Records had one thing in Common...IT INCLUDED AMERICAN FIGHTERS!

So the real reason why Canelo vs Angulo and Canelo vs Lara did Luke Warm Numbers, because neither Spoke English and neither fighter was American so Casual Americans had ZERO INTEREST IN IT!

Canelo did not impress those Casual Americans against Mayweather, not even in a losing Effort, he just got schooled and looked like he did not belong in the ring with Mayweather. A Better Show In A Losing Effort Would Have Helped Him As Well!

I knew that Canelo fighting on cinco de mayo was going to put Floyd in a predicament. Too bad my thread got deleted. If Floyd doesn't fight manny, he's gonna flop big time.

[Deevel916]

You're right. Canelo isn't a big ppv draw alone. VS Cotto it will do big #s though. Puerto Rico vs Mexico. 2 rabid fan bases.

Broner does better numbers than Both Canelo and Cotto do on non PPV fights.

Lol. Ban this fool. No he does not!

MayBeatHer will need to find another date to stage his next fart fest. PPV on this weekend is rumored to be in the dirt. Fans are done buying his garbage fights and listening to his lame excuses for ducking Pac. Goodbye Duckballs

The only fight that can really overwhelm a Cotto - Canelo match up that weekend is Mayweather - Pacquiao. Shit, put them on the same card. Wanna talk about blowing the roof off? But that's just wishful thinking.
