    Of course it will be bigger. Those were two welterweights, these are two middleweights. They are by definition bigger.

        Turn the closed caption on since you can't hear. Canelo is the "right fight" at 155

              UH...No It Won't!

              Look at the views for their Presser on youtube from 5 Days again then go look at UFC Views from Jon Jones vs Cormier Presser from less than 24 Hours ago

              UFC has its entire foot up boxing ass right now. I'm more excited about UFC Cards than I am about the up and coming boxing Cards including this Glorified Mismatch being sold to fans as a good match up

              Still love boxing more but boxing need to step it up, the pressers are ***ing BORING! Fighters with No Personality

              Oscar said Canelo vs Cotto was going to be bigger than Mayweather vs Pacquiao he just use their names to get headlines

                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.
                Rios is more known than Angulo and Lara. So basically when Floyd/Canelo/Pac when fight nobodies get about the same number of PPV buys.

                I don't think Cotto/Canelo was a flop??? Floyd/Pac put a BAD taste in buyers mouth with their fight. And Roc Nation did JACK SHT to help build this fight! Jay-Z wasn't seen ANYWHERE! Didn't even lift a finger. And you know this...I'll bet you points that Canelo vs. Khan does over 650K buys?

                  Youtube usually puts any UFC announcements on it's front page even before you sign in, so it's there by default. It gets more advertising, but no UFC event is more exciting than boxing. How can you go from watching two supreme, skilled pugilists to watching two naked men humping each other? UFC is lame beyond belief!!!

                    Fans of both, been a fan of both and that won't change. Right now UFC is doing a much better job promoting their product than boxing is. That is not personal feelings or me being bias towards either. UFC do a better job at marketing while Boxing have a old outdated way of Marketing their Product

                    You don't like UFC and that is fine but it is many that do and it will be many who will tune into McGregor vs Diaz>Ortiz vs Thompson tonight on HBO. Most Casuals probably don't have a ***ing clue that it is a boxing event on HBO tonight
