Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Canelo-Golovkin Will Be Bigger Than May-Pac!

He said that last fight it was trash. The Cotto fight barely cracked 1million ppv buys against one of the biggest draws in boxing history

Oscar has been talking reckless for a minute now. The only person worse than him lately is Freddie Roach.

Oscar is just trying to delay the fight as much as he possibly can. The longer this fight waits the more it benefits Nelo. GGG should purposefully look vulnerable against Monroe just to draw Nelo out of hiding.

Your crazy. This definitely will finish Top 10. Canelo is very popular and GGG is gaining popularity to the casual fan by fight. Depending on and when this gets done it will make a lot of noise pay per view wise.

I agree. It definitely makes the top 10. Probably even top 5.

He did 2.2 with Floyd, 900k with Cotto and 300k with a weak B-side. He has a following but nowhere near a Pac or Floyd. 300k would be considered a disaster for those two

??? Canelo is only 25 so those are damn good numbers. I wouldn't be putting others down so quick didn't these fight make close to that??? And I won't go back to when they first started PPV numbers...

Floyd/Berto
Pac/Rios
Pac/Algieri

Just sayn

His age has nothing to do with it. It's competition/timing/star quality. There are very few superstars in boxing. Ali, Fraizer, Tyson, Pacquiao ODL, Mayweather are top tier. Look at these PPV numbers. One would be quick to say Roy Jones is a superstar but look at his numbers. His highest PPV was 500k. Tyson was doing that on his worst nights. Pac was matching Canelo numbers as a super featherweight. Pac had 6 PPV fights below 140. There's only been one other PPV fight below 140 and that was Hamed-MAB. Once Pac and Floyd had their breakout PPV's they never fought off PPV again. Canelo had two PPV's and went back to HBO. He can't fight PPV without a name opponent. Superstars carry PPV's on their name alone. Pac/Rios would be on par with Canelo/Lara. Pac/Algieri would be on par with Canelo/Kirkland. Mayweather/Berto would be on par with Canelo/Angulo. Cotto-Canelo was a flop. Puerto vs. Mexico. Middleweight championship of the world. And they didn't even crack a million after ODL said they were projecting a million and a half and roc nation said two million.

If Lemieux can make GGG fight off his back foot and become a boxer what do you think Canelo will do? GGG promised a street fight against Lemieux and it was a boxing clinic. I'm not complaining but if Lemieux can make u box imagine what Canelo would do.

Lemieux made him do that? Looked to me that using the jab was the plan all along to avoid the power shots of Lemieux... Lemieux didn't do anything.. GGG imposed his game plan from the opening bell.

I was told it would be a street fight. I was told Mexican Style.



If Lemieux made him switch his style and box just imagine what Canelo gonna do

You believe everything you're told?
Canelo won't do anything but get KTFO trying to exchange with Golovkin..he don't want the fight anyway so it's a non issue

Yea you're correct. Can't believe everything I'm told from GGG and Co. I was told 154-168.....

[WarMaidana]

it will be more exciting, but not bigger. But it will be a big fight and I hope it happens soon
