Inwas talking about Herrera vs. Gomez. preferred Herrera vs. Matty instead but his eye is still messed up.

I'm always down to watch a future super star in Diego. Kid is gonna be special.

So now Curtis Stevens and Pepe Lemuix are Pumpkins again??? I was told they were BOTH BAD MF'ers, Future boxing Hall of Famers when GGG chosebto fight them??? But now their back to being BUMS! Well at least for one night they were Mike Tyson 1985. Right???

End of the day this fight is gonna have more then 650k PPV buys. It's Cinco De Mayo Weekend. I'm gonna be watching it with friends and family getting drunk and eating GOOD fkn MEXICAN Food!!! Watching the MOST beautiful sport in the WORLD!

And I'm hoping to see Khan act tough in the ring before he starts getting Bambi-Legged...That sht probably is gonna be worth $60-70 alone!!!! I wonder if there will be a prop bet on if one of their corners throws in the towel???

Herrera and the term "great fight" don't often go together. He's technical, but in the Ward/Floyd/Rigo I'll outclass you sort of way. It doesn't look special at all in the way he wins. Kinda like the guy Mickey Bey beat for the lightweight belt or Richard Abril sort of way.

As far as the bold goes, not one time in the history of life have I ever typed or said anything remotely similar to this. I don't count any of the can crusher's opponents as being anything spectacular.

You're right in that it will be nice to see Khan get what he deserves, but the fight seems like a sideshow. It probably shouldn't considering that Khan is really only going up one weight class, but it does. Hell he hasn't done anything in the one he's in. 650K under the current PPV climate seems a little much. If he couldn't do half of that with Lara, a real fight, and could only do 250K more with Cotto, a star, lineal beltholder, and Puerto Rican I doubt this one does anywhere near as well.

If Khan wins, he may become the man overnight. If Canelo wins, he's still a puss.

Big Man...

If Khan wins, he may become the man overnight. If Canelo wins, he's still a puss.

As if calling Canelo a "*****" makes you a MAN. Smh. Canelo can do what he wants. He's fighting quality opposition and is not draining his opponents. He'll fight GGG when he's ready. GGG is not running anything. Why doesn't he want to take the fight at 155lbs????? Why not? Canelo is the A side.

Nah...That's reserved for the Kovalev-Ward winner should that fight actually pull through.

You forget about one lil detail! Lara/Canelo was in JULY! Cinco De Mayo is the PRIME date to put a boxing match on. Lara also has ZERO fans...Cotto vs. Sergio should of done WAY better but it didn't. Canelo / Khan fight will do 650K and I would bet on that?

Is it prime because of the date or because of the fights that have happened on that date? I mean when you have Oscar, Floyd, Holyfield etc fighting on those dates they're gonna do numbers.

Canelo has one group of fans, and Amir is nowhere near as big as he thinks he is, he's not Lara small, but he definitely isn't Cotto. 650 may be what GB is gonna say came through, but I'm think 350-450. I'm up for a bet if you are.
