Is gg more marketable than Canelo?

[Motorcity Cobra]

i am sure we know more here than those who already conducted a marketing study. This place makes me laugh sometimes...

The article is a clickbait article leaching of an article posted by another site. Check out my post from the first page. I got that info from a site that tracks advertising. This article has 3 basketball players and none of them name Lebron James. How serious can you take them without Lebron James on the list?

All you have to do is look at the numbers. Canelo's fights make much more money and because of that Canelo is paid much more money. He might be the biggest money maker in boxing today. GGG is the better fighter but then GGG is about the best fighter in the world. Canelo generates much more money than GGG and probably anyone else as well.

GGG has hard eyes. You can tell he's not some random pretty boy punk.

Canelo on the other hand comes off as more stoic but he's actually a well spoken charismatic dude. GGG is a killer and with some wins WILL be martketable but Canelo has that air around him like he's a king in a country of fighters. He's light skinned, "good looking" (no **** but thats all I hear from chicks "Oh canelo my husband " this and that) and he has an extremely flashy way of fighting while still seeming "mexican". He's an agressive counter puncher who doesn't back up. Canelo was just born to be a star. Maybe not an atg (hey you never know) but dude oozes that quiet dignity/charisma that you only see in boxers.

agree on canelo's charisma. my spanish isn't great, but i can tell that he's an articulate guy. and you really don't need to know the spanish to know that he's got "it."

some of the bsceners have been taking away from canelo's charisma becase of their resentment of his matchmaking. my brother, a casual fan who might watch a couple of fights a year, says canelo, "looks like a comic book character." that sounds about right to me . casuals understand that, and are drawn to it. that's charisma.

Marketability isn't just purse split or bigger star, even though that is what it sounds like, otherwise Floyd would have been the most marketable guy in boxing... but to be honest it was impossible to market floyd from a corporate perspective because he has bad history.

Canelo is more famous, is more known and has a decent image though it has taken a hit recently, if you also consider his skill level then there is a chance he would lose soon enough to a decent fighter where his marketability could go down. Also he has had legal issues which makes him less marketible (he beat up a midget fighter and now going through contractual litigation)

As a fighter GGG will be more dominant but has a shorter time horizon in the spot light due to age, also has a very good image among majority of boxing fans. No Scandals, squicky clean. As a corporation i would want someone like GGG to use for my marketing vs. Canelo, will i get more exposure? likely not but that doesn't necessarily mean i'll get worse results in the long term.

Lets put it this way, in terms of investment.

Canelo is large cap somewhat speculative/growth stock, while GGG is a mid cap blue chip stock.

I thought it was George Groves (GG). Just Kidding

Back to the question,for now, my answer is No.

[boliodogs]

It's possible that GGG might someday surpass Canelo as a money maker if Canelo lost a fight or two and GGG got some top fighters in the ring with him so he could KO them. Right now Canelo generates much more money so he makes much more money. It's not even close.

who is Lebron James? Another marihuana 7 foot tall dude?

No Canelo is a 25 year old red headed Mexican, while GGG is a 34 year old fighter,both are marketable but Canelo is by far the bigger star and has a much bigger upside as he is so young

I agree...especially if they keep putting him in with guys he can ko spectacularly. His KOs of kirkland and khan are better highlight reel material than anything ggg has done since he dropped stevens...and that's mainly due to stevens reaction.

also lets not forget that gg is a superstar in Morocco and Monaco

I did not know, but the problem about GGG is that age is catching up with him. It's such a shame that he first popped up, when he was already over 30 years of age. He's simply too old, he has a small window I believe to really do anything, we're talking 2-3 years. Unless he's a genetic freak. And once again, we gotta remember that GGG's resume really isn't all that great. Canelo has a far better resume and is wise to stay away from GGG for a couple of years, businesswise, sucks for us though.

Yeah man he fought in front of the prince of Monaco and it was sold out and everything. Also he has been in Korean media
