Richard Schaefer: Canelo Alvarez vs Jermall Charlo Will Be a Big Big PPV Fight

[Chollo Vista]

I do think Charlo acting like an arrogant ass would really help sell the fight though with or without getting Canelo to act out. It would just sell better if Canelo wasn't bland as could be.

Again, Jermall should do no such thing other than be himself and continue to knock guys out.

GGG and Canelo have the biggest fight in boxing on deck with neither one of them having to resort to such tactics that are listed in the bold.

Why didn't you ask Liam Smith and Amir Khan to act a fool in order to sell a few PPV's?

Jermall should have to do no such thing

Always be selling~ unless Charlo doesn't care about making the most possible money

What I'm saying is there are plenty of fighters that didn't have to resort to this in order to sell fights.

Pac, Khan, Golovkin, Canelo, Cotto, etc. The list goes on. None of these guys had to resort to silly out of the ring beef's to sell fights.

Why do you guys always want to black guy to do this foolishness?

1) Khan is a fool, he says outlandish stuff all the time. It is who he is, it is why he has the inate ability to drive people to want to see him knocked out.

2) Smith should have the fight would have sold better,.


Canelo and Golovkin is a big fight, but how well will it really sell, and if there was heat between the men real or otherwise does that not get more people interested.

Boxing is about drama and people eat that bull**** up, it is better if it is real, but Charlo already played the ass and had a whole arena booing his ass after he just wrecked a guy in an exciting fight, and it is not like J-Rock was a hometown fighter. He already generated a decent amount of hate before that ordeal, so it will be real easy for him to play that role to a T which increases his marketability. Increased marketability equal increased pay, this is his job after all so i assume dude wants to maximize his earnings.

What the **** are you talking about, you play the hand you are dealt and not everyone is going to be loved. Love is not the only strong emotion that can be played on though and Charlo is already way down that road, backing up and trying to go the other way or just being a robot does nothing to separate him from the pack.

Khan does resort to silliness, Cotto and Canelo have large ethic followings, same with Manny and his side was involved in a decent amount of silliness when it came to the whole Mayweather ordeal and Golovkin could do a lot more to raise his star power.

No, Charlo was really emotional after a fight. Williams went to shake his hand and Charlo refused. In the buildup to their fight, Williams and Charlo were on their best behavior and you didn't see any outlandish antics during the press conference or weigh in.

Charlo made a mistake and got caught up in the moment in which he apologized thereafter and is completely different than playing heel. In fact, Williams and Charlo embraced/hugged immediately after the fight behind the scenes so there's no lingering bad feelings.

Ray Leonard, Hearns, Holyfield, etc. So many great African American fighters that are ATG's that got paid who didn't have to act like a buffoon to get $$$. Ward is another.

No need for Charlo to do any asinine antics to sell a fight. His KO ratio and enjoyable style will speak for itself.

Charlo knocks guys out in exciting fashion. Is that not what boxing fans want to see?

His fighting style will speak for itself.

Too many people get caught up in Mayweather selling fights by going heel. Mayweather was a snoozer in the ring. Charlo won't have that problem and as long as he keeps winning the way he won last night, going "ignorant heel" shouldn't be in his vocabulary.

*** you schaefer.this idiot thinks oscar is going to help him out after he tried to back stab him.this snake is something else.

That is great, but it is better to bring even more to the table in terms of emotions. All the biggest fighters really did more than just win fights they played on emotions.

If Charlo really cares about making money anyway, if he doesn't then he can do whatever but this being his profession I would assume he cares about making the most money for his effort.

I could not care less what Charlo does because it is his life, but if he cares about making money I know what he should do.
