Canelo-GGG NOT happening in September, but in May...

The answer may be correct but your math is all wrong. Nobody cares about it falling on the exact day. People celebrate it on the weekend.

If it happens in May, it's done so that it plays to Canelo's favor. It's looking like they've already set up the smokescreen with the WBC/WBO thing, along with roadblocking the GG/Saunders fight so that Canelo can fight Saunders in Sept. Then, when another birthday has passed for Golovkin, they can fight him next May. Could all be a conspiracy theory but it sure looks like its coming together they way.

Do you guys REALLY think the fight is gonna happen in September? Cuz everybody on here is talking like it is. You guys must now own a calendar. The REAL Cinco de Mayo hasn't fallen on a Saturday in five years. It won't just be the Cinco de Mayo weekend fight. It will be the actual Cinco de Mayo fight. Its like calling a fight the Fourth of July fight and having it take place on the 6th. It makes no sense a couple days after the actual holiday. The atmosphere is completely different than it is on the actual holiday which the date falls on.

Canelo-Golovkin --- May 5th, 2018

Mexican Independence day, September 16, also falls on a Saturday this year. Having said that, I think the fight will probably happen in May 2018 if both keep winning until then.

Yea but I'm pretty sure Cinco de Mayo is a bigger holiday. Could be wrong though.
Redd Foxx.. I'm pretty sure the 5th is when they all get together to celebrate though. Just like we all get together on the 4th of July. More people will be together on the 5th of next May and will probably result in more people ordering the PPV as a source of entertainment. Just my guess. Makes sense to me. I wouldn't mind a big fight on the 4th of July lol. That's actually one of the few holidays I enjoy. Middle of summer, pretty much EVERYBODY is celebrating it all over the place. You can't go one block without seeing at least half of the households chilling outside. A great fight would just make it all the more better to me.

Cinco is more celebrated in America than in Mexico. I live in a border state and Cinco is pretty big here, but they don't have many festivities on the actual day, they do it on the weekend.

Well don't you think it should be even the tiniest bit bigger next May since the 5th actually falls on the weekend next year?

Yes, I'll give you that, I think it would make a nice coincidence and help it be just slightly bigger. But, iMO, not big enough that any promoter would delay, and possibly lose, such a huge fight.

If Chavez is easy for Alvarez, or rather suits his style, I could see Alvarez vs Ramirez in May 2018 for the WBO 168.

I can't see that at all. Ramirez is HUGE compared to Canelo. And Ramirez wouldn't really sell either. He isn't that big of a name at all. He's way bigger than Golovkin also. Way taller at least. He would actually be a good Light-Heavyweight. I'd like to see him move up actually. It would make that already stacked division that much better.

And here I thought this thread was going to be about Alvarez not fighting Golovkin in September because cinnamon is a lying, cowardly SOS.

Canelo-GGG NOT happening in September, but in May...
