Comments Thread For: Armed With HBO, Canelo Aims To Reclaim May, September

[New England]

By "they" do you mean Golden Boy Promotions?

guessing that he means HBO / lampley.

i haven't seen the new fight game, but i'm led to believe that they brought in michele beetle just to rip floyd.

but I thought alot of ya were saying that ppv numbers have been in decline all over the board??? So which one is it?

Everything he said is correct, and he never said that PPV is not in decline all across the board. His point is that PPV buyers are limited. In my opinion, there's really on room for two PPV stars -- Pacquaio and Mayweather. Everyone else can't fit, they end up doing way less numbers than those two.

You kids are letting your hate blind you from the big picture.

There won't be two PPV's on May 2nd because everybody will lose money. To think Canelo vs Cotto will make Floyd move his date is hate talking more than reality. To do a million buys you have to be a true superstar to where ESPN is talking about the fight you are going on talking shows that casual fan watch Cotto and canelo are great B-side fighters neither are true superstars it's boxing fans fight not a mainstream fight. You think the MGM Grand is picking Canelo over Floyd; Arum and manny already know the answer to that. With a ego as big Cotto's you think he wants to give in canelo demand to fight on his date.

Even though I like Canelo attitude in this matter I really doubt the power behind him would go through with this, they better pray Mayweather gets injured or pull out of those dates because if not its a lose lose situation for both.

There's only one way to reclaim those dates. Join HBO. Espinoza will never allow it to happen on Showtime.
