Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez To Return To HBO, Long-Term Deal In Place

You don't have to like Swift but he has far more star power than Canelo. He is much more marketable to an international audience, which is part of the reason he has the fan base he does now.

What are you talking about?

Fact is that after Floyd left HBO has struggle. Pacquaio definitely hasn't delivered for them and GGG has been stagnant, while his Showtime counterparts do consistently better with a smaller audience.

More star power than Canelo? Danny Garcia??? dude are you feeling ok?
Danny will never be as good as a Mexican red haired who women like a lot and has good boxing skills.

so this puts to rest all this crap that GBP won't work with HBO lol cmon Floyd, that lil Asian fella is waiting.

Come off it. Oscar was never happy about going to Showtime. It's probably what sent him back to rehab. HBO is simply where names are built which is good for the future - Showtime has always tried to cash in on HBO's success and is in it for the short term.

Wonder if this ass clown remembers about Showtime Championship Boxing went away frommulti-fight deals with fighters and were producing some of the best match-ups in boxing on a monthly basis about a decade ago? And that they only jumped back into mukti-fight deals because they built up fighters like Hatton, Calzage, Bradley, Ward, and even Froch. only to have HBO jump in, throw a pile of money at them, and take them away. My guess is no. All she knows is that Floyd left, and GGG fights on HBO. So in her mind, that makes HBO king and anyone not on there ****. WTF is boxing coming to? Now you have network fanb1tches. I remember a day when boxing fans were disgusted because fights Lewis-Tyson, or even Floyd-Tsyzu could be made because of network issues.

You should be banned. I won't even bother discussing anything with someone who can't communicate without being disgusting.

Canelo-Golovkin is inevitable if they both keep winning.

Canelo's popularity is about to explode again like it did pre-Mayweather fight.

Canelo is GBP's best asset and HBO is wise to bring that on board. I am curious though as to their budget which has been constantly going down so how are all these mouths going to get fed on HBO.

How did you figure out? It never crossed my mind...

[whoseyourdaddy]

they can keep the mgm grand. Cotto-Canelo can sell out the dallas cowboys stadium. hell, even the pontiac silverdome

I'll go to either the Cowboy stadium or the alamo dome is about 1:30 hours from my home, that is a fight am really interested in.

I think Canelo is making a move on the main atraction Mayweather, putting pressure to reclaim the 5th of May.

Days ago, Floyd suggested he would skip the next Cinco de Mayo date...
