They waited for manny to be in battles worn down smart but sad for us sugar ray fought hearns in their primes that's what real men do make the $ but best vs best how did Floyd fool you all he didn't even close the show vs bums Berto Guerrero etc hearns eats them up

Funny how Manny is in a BATTLES against JMM. But when Floyd fought JMM it looked EASY??? Also Floyd is OLDER than Manny!

Berto/Guerreo are WAY BETTER than Jeff FKN Horn! AND Chris Algieri AND Brandon Rios!

If you were already headed to the hall of fame,would you do what the fans wanted or make more money??Boxing's one of the last great rackets and no one's willing to admit how much they love that

depends on the fighter. oscar did what the fans wanted. floyd didn't. also i don't agree with the more money part. i think floyd would have made more money if he took the higher profile tougher fights even if he lost along the way.

No matter what the haters say, this is a boxing event! It's being talked about everywhere, and it's only going to snowball as time gets closer. Can't wait for the press conferences! #VivaMexico #canelo #chavezjr !!!! Doesn't get any bigger for Mexico and its boxing fans!

"Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is The Fight of My Dreams for GGG!!!"

So the fights a DREAMFIGHT for GGG but is a SHT fight for Canelo???

I see how you GGGTards work??? Biggest hypocrites on the planet!

Why would anybody want to see GGG fight Chavez?

The guy was brutalized by Fonfara FFS

If GGG goes to 168 it should only be for DeGale, Groves or Ramirez

BTW, why isnt Canelo fighting Ramirez?

Oh, that's right, he's too good

Of course I want to see the big fight but I'm thinking that the JR fight makes more on PPV and if it's close they'll have a rematch.It just seems like a typical boxing move.I think some people are less motivated by glory but to be honest my opinion of Canelo is based on the fact that everytime I watch the Canelo/Mayweather fight it looks rigged.Not an accusation.Just a feeling

It's not a bad fight but the truth is we all wanted Canelo to fight G. when Oscar said he wasn't a fully fledged middle we all gave him the benefit of the doubt but he's actually fighting at 165 complete unacceptable swerve .

Who are they trying to fool with this bs?

At 168 or 175 then maybe but 164.5? No thanks.

No doubt this figt will sell well, it will at least crack over 700k buys. As far as it being a fight Boxing needs probably not. When it was being said just months ago Canelo was not ready for MW and then jumps 4.5 over the MW limit makes it almost 100% true they are avoiding GGG pissing us hardcore fans off while catering to the more casual fans with this fight. This fight at one time held real interest, it is very late now. Chavez has been exposed as a lazy entitled prick who has lost twice (once by KO) meanwhile Canelo dropped his belt and is actively avoiding his biggest fight.

People saying 700k buys.I bet it's closer to a million.It's not being marketed to die hard boxing fans so much as cashing in on the Cinco De Mayo boxing tradition.I bet none of you bought a Nat King Cole record this last Christmas but dude still got paid.
