If BJS vs. Lemieux and Luis Ortiz vs. Alexander Ustinov are on the Canelo vs. Liam Smith card, i'll buy the PPV! That's what a PPV event should look like!!! Props to GBP if they can make this happen!

HELL YEAH!!! And but Diego up against a good fighter and Oscar can have my $$$$ right now!

since when an undercard fight saved a ppv from flopping?, niether of the guys on the undercard are known in the us to the casual fans, if anything why pay so much money for an undercard fighter with no fanbase if you know the ppv will flop? those are nice adittions for the fans that are already buying the event but that will change little to the final ppv sales, like hardcore fans run the business... i think is more about securing BJS for canelo next, they know canelo cant fight on ppv later this year, so BJS wont get a lot from his actual fight with canelo on regular hbo, but he gets two good paydays in return...
if that was the case gbp will be having lepu-stevens and giving his fighters all the money with an even more action packed fight... expect tureano vs saunders...

???BS!!! I know a lot of ppl that are on the fence about buying this fight. I wont buy it as it stands. But out Saunders vs. Lemuix. Have Ortiz and get Diego De La Hoya a good fighter and I'm buing the fight!!!!

hardcore could change their mind about it, but casuals wont do it for unkown fighters like bjs, ortiz or pepe lepu, hardcore fans do very little for the final ppv sales, ask ggg....

For people talking Canelo/BJS, do you really believe that the fight will happen on regular HBO? If we're getting ****ing Liam Smith on PPV, why not BJS?

There was an article a few weeks back saying that Canelo's contract states that he will have one fight per year on regular HBO, which will be his upcoming fight in December. Might turn out to be BS but that was the claim.

My guess would be a weak opponent like Geale at 157ish in December followed by BJS on PPV in May. But that's if they really are doing a regular HBO fight.

If he's going to fight a MW in December on "free" HBO, I think it would be Rosado. I think Geale is too far gone for HBO to accept him as an opponent.

Saunders will fight a cupcake. He won't risk a legitimate fight before cashing in
