Comments Thread For: Canelo vs. Chavez is a Fight Boxing Needed, Says De La Hoya

[Heru]

Boxing doesn't need it, but there are few fights that can approach or exceed 1M PPV in the US and this is one of them.

Even though I expect Canelo to do a demolition job on Jr. (Jr. putting on a gutsy performance and having his moments in the process), it is going to be a high profile fight that will not disappoint, action wise, even if it's one sided.

All About the $ stack

That's great that Canelo and Chavez jr. Signed, but really we all know that Camelot is going to drop him with a body shot or a punch like he dropped Kahn. This fight is all about the Benjamin ($). GGG has belts, Canelo has belts, let's see these two goo toe to toe and see which pound for pound champion is the better boxer. I personally think it may be a draw! Any thoughts out there?

No it's not.

The fight that you keep stalking is what is needed.

he ko'd Andy Lee 5 yrs ago. ***** was in his first term as president back then. That's how long ago that was. I haven't been excited about a single ggg fight other than lemeiux.

I hope your excited about the Jacobs fight??? I know I AM!!! I kind of liked the Brook fight in a sic way...Just like Kahn/Canelo lol. IDK but some reason those to just talk way to much sht for my likes.

I was excited and was going to buy the Lemuix/GGG fight until I saw the odds and then watched some of his fights and decided to pass on it. I never watched the Wade/GGG fight or Smith/Canelo I knew neither one had a chance.

I was only interested in Canelo vs khan because I knew it was only a matter of time before khan would get stretched and shutting khan up is one of the most enoyable things in boxng to see. With lemeiux vs ggg, I didn't think he'd win, but with his punchers style I thought he would've made it more interesting... He didn't.

This fight EASILY does sales out whatever stadium they are in on top of having probably 1,000,000 PPV buys! So how does fans NOT want to see the fight??? Ppl lie, you lie, but NUMBERS DON'T lie!

You want to bet this fight doesn't do 1 mil PPV buys?

oscar is such a tool.. schaefer will make boxing great again

[THC]

I don't mind this fight for the entertainment value it might offer. But as far as what Oscar is claiming, no, it's simply a cash grab. LOL, part of the intrigue is whether Jr. makes weight, and if he does, will he be too drained. Too bad the sport has degraded to this level of novelty.

But the Latino market will make it a profitable event; and the two fighters could sell out a big stadium. GGG should park himself at ring side to remind Oscar about the September fight, not a potential rematch with Jr.

I said maybe 1 mill...But I'll take 800K you game???

Jacobs IS GGG's best opponent by FAR!!!! I consider Brook "A" quality at 147. But 160 NOPE!

When I went back and watched the 154lber Alcine vs. 160 lb Lemuix fight the same Alcine who was STARCHED by Angulo I knew better than waste my money??? Plus he was WAY out smarted by Rubio??? That's why I passed. I came close to buying it though. The media made me believe Lemuix actually had a chance until again I saw the odds and then Youtubed his fights. Lemuix is a SUKER for the body punch and is VERY 1 dimensional for someone ranked soo high. But that's because the MW division is one of the worst.
