Canelo is fighting three times next year

[Sadiqkingofko]

I think he may well slip Lemieux in there too, either before or after Saunders and push Golovkin back to 2018. Why hurry?

I won't be shocked maybe they fight Lemieux 9/16/17 and Golovkin 5/5/18

I think it's going to be like

Canelo/Cotto2 2/11/17 - I think it sells less than the first 700K
Canelo/Saunders 5/6/17 - Same as Smith 300K
Canelo/Golovkin 9/16/17 - Maybe 1.5M

Alvarez is unlikely to have three PPV fights in 2017, imo.

2/11/17 - Alvarez vs Curtis Stevens (at less than 160lbs) [HBO]
5/6/17 - Saunders(c) vs Alvarez, WBO 160lb belt [HBOPPV]
9/16/17 - Alvarez(c) vs Cotto 2, WBO 160lb belt [HBOPPV]

Alvarez debuts in NYC (against a fighter with some profile in NYC) on HBO to a sizable viewership (Saunders takes a tick-over fight on the undercard), you use the February date to goose the interest in the May PPV, and then pay off the September date with a PPV event that can actually happen.

Three times a year is good for fans.

well the third one isnt going to happen. And i dread to think of the garbage that will be spewed when the cotto rematch gets made, i know people like 1hourrun are going to defend it to the death

OMG, what a ****ing joke Canelo vs Cotto 2 would be.

people will defend it, ive already seen a few comments saying it was a closer fight than the cards had it etc. people will say it makes financial sense for canelo (which it does but fans shouldnt be defending it)

Oh yeah, people will defend that ****.

Who else plans to fight 3 times a year in 2017?

I'm still tracking current fighters' inactivity. Many of them are supposed to be announcing their comeback fights. Since many of them are still not rushing to fight, their period of inactivity is getting longer and longer. Seems 2 years without fights is becoming a possibility. Let's see if they would last without fighting for 2 years.

No way in hell does Canelo/Cotto 2 sells less than Canelo/Golovkin. Some of you guys are seriously overrating the numbers for that fight.

I used to always say it sells between 600K-800K but everyone gets mad at me lol
