I know whats happening

Ok Canelo just shook the boxing world by vacating the belt. Is it a good look for him? no even coming from a big Canelo fan. Call me crazy but its part of selling this fight to make it bigger. If you look at what mayweather did to become such a huge PPV star wasnt just on his boxing skills alone.

Mayweather became the villain of boxing. Controversy sells! Open your eyes Canelo isnt scared to fight GGG thats not true at all. Canelo is taking a page out of Mayweather, Trump type of controversy . If you notice this got so much headlines everywhere and got everyone talking about this fight and making everyone want to see it that much more!

Canelo will become the villain in this fight and this was his first step in doing so... dont worry boxing heads the fight will happen..

I thought that too, but dropping a world title to promote an already HUGE fight? Idk man.

Dont matter its all about the PPV numbers and they havent been what they have been hoping for as of late.

Its a huge fight but khan canelo only hit about 400K in buys meaning this GGG fight would only do about 1 million at most. they are trying to squeeze out maybe another 400k

not 5 years GGG would be too old. maybe by next year

I won't comment on Canelo until it's official, but I thought we were tired of Mayweather's tactics? He's a HOF, but he will always have an * on his name... Didn't fight when the fights mattered...

[Real King Kong]

He's gonna demand a cw...blame it on ggg when it doesn't happen...then he's gonna rematch cotto.

The problem with your point is that Floyd was considered the best fighter in the world, something Canelo isn't. Floyd played the "villian" role to play off of ODH, who was an Olympic hero, to help sell the fight.

Canelo looks like a complete faggot doing this, not a villian. GGG isn't nearly as popular or beloved as ODH and doesn't have anywhere near the resume. Canelo looks afraid to fight GGG and has for some time, while Floyd had been calling ODH for years.

Canelo also already has an established base while Floyd was only known in boxing circles. Floyd doing that brought more fans while Canelo doing this is losing him support with his base.

I think you are not seeing things clearly.
