Canelo saves boxing!!

I enjoyed it

5 to 6 milion people will not watch boxing again.

Stop playing ******, you know exactly what the op meant.

The funny thing is that people said this same dumb **** after Mayweather fought DLH. "Yea the fight broke the all time record but nobody will ever pay to watch Mayweather again". I don't think that you're playing ****** though.

Saves boxing from what? Last weekend we saw a fight that sold between five and six million PPVs. I doubt if Alvarez/Kirland attracted 1.5 million to watch it on HBO. Just how the hell does watching a B+ level fighter knock out a C+ level fighter save boxing?

Most of the fans that ordered the fight were casual fans and they were pissed off at how boring the fight was. Canelo is an up and coming star and fought in an exciting match. I wouldn't say it saved boxing but it was an improvement from last week.

2 hamsters fking each other would have been an improvement over last week.

Canelo Alvarez is the future of boxing. I'm also getting sick and tired of the 'boxing is dead' phrase. How the **** is dead when Mayweather v Pacquiao bout shattered all records ?

The only reason Mayweather sells is because he plays the bad guy and fans want to see him lose. The truth is a majority of people don't want to see pot shots, running, and hugs. If Mayweather was humble he'd be another Rigo and Ward.

You just said it yourself. People's desire to see Mayweather outweighs their qualms with his style. Let's also be completely honest. People's desire to see him lose is why they hate on his style. You call it "running and hugging" because you want to see him lose. If you were a fan instead of a hater you'd just appreciate his skills for what they were. Mayweather has to be the only fighter who can run, hug, all while out-throwing and out-landing his opponent at the same time. He must be TBE huh?

People that hate Mayweather's style get suckered into buying his PPV's not me. This is the first Mayweather I've seen in years. Floyd is skillful at dodging punches I'll admit that, it's relax skills but running and hugging isn't skillful. Typical Flowmoe wants everyone to love the their man, I find his style boring like most people if that makes you upset sorry I'll send you a box of tissues. Floyd is the best in this decade but best ever haha he really lost to Castillo, struggled with Maidana and beat an out of prime De La Hoya by 1 round. Floyd and Manny lose to anyone of the fabulous four.

Canelo just beat a guy who is not even on the same level as Robert Guerrero or Pauli Malignaggi. GGG is fighting a guy next weekend who is the same level of talent that Mayweather and Pacquaio sparred with while they were training to fight each other.

If these guys and these types of fights are the future of boxing, then boxing has no future.

Kirkland is pure garbage. Slow as fck and the chin of a malnourished child.

Wlad vs Jennings got 100k searches on google trends and that wound up pulling 1.7 million. At the moment Canelo vs Kirkland has 150k searches and counting so I wouldn't be surprised to see it cross 2 million or close enough. Also a 35k stadium.
