If Canelo is the biggest draw in the sport...

[icha]

And this is the biggest fight they can make, why does it have to be on a national holiday?
Besides seeing him get crushed by GGG could put a dampner on celebrations.

floyd used those dates for a reason, wasnt he the biggest draw?? why didnt he fight on MLK weekends?
you had the biggest draw ever fighting on mexican hollidays and still cant figure out??

[bigdunny1]

yeah why fight on date that is proven will maximize your profits that's just ******. Should just fight on a random Wed night for a fraction of the money instead. SMH

National Holiday as in American or Mexican?

Golovkin is old. Easy work for Nelo. Alvarez is younger than all the Welterweight stars now. Lara II , Charlos, Andrade, Spence, Ramirez, Chavez jr., Eubank Jr., Saunders...all mega fights for Alvarez in the future.

If ggg is old and easy then why not make the fight? It's the second biggest fight for cantnelo

[TheSnatcher]

Oh god, that was 1 of the most ****** thing I've ever read.

[TheUptownKid]

I think it came from top rank actually. Bob let oscar fight on cinco de mayo and Independence Day and once Floyd beat him on cinco de mayo he just took the date. Oscar tried rival cards but he kept fighting bums and Floyd had his revenge. Once Floyd slowed down it was natural for oscar to want the date back.

Flo-mo-s love canelo. It's obvious why.

What do you mean why not? Alvarez can't sign a contract for Golovkin. 15mil contract curled up in gggs panties

maximum $$$$ potential.

sheesh.......

If Canelo didnt fight on the two biggest Mexican holidays and on regular dates like other fighters do, his PPV buys and gates would be terrible.

[moochi]

So what, is he a bigger draw than Anthony Joshua?

Who makes up these titles and what metrics are used? Or is the question really only for the US/Mexican market?
