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

[Eff Pandas]

Who's everybody? I see very few people thinking this pops off in September.

I think "everybody" if we are talking about the majority of fans are in the wait & see mode with anything in regards to when this fight happens.

The smart money does seem to be split between Sept 2017 or May 2018 at this point doe, but its not like the smart money hasn't been on dates that have went by without the fight happening previously thus most fans being in wait & see mode.

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.

Yes, that roadmap is looking like a good possibility!

Golovkin should have taken the Saunders fight when he had the chance!!

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.

Welcome to the forum. And Alvarez vs Ramirez have had sparring sessions before. Who is "bigger," Chavez Jr. or Ramirez? And how different is a young fresh Alvarez vs Abraham's frame size?

Think about it.

Lol you're putting this fight on a pedestal like it's gonna be some war. It's gonna be a boxing lesson given out by Canelo. This fight can happen on a Thursday.

How exactly am I doing that? All I pretty much said was it would most likely generate more money if it took place next May.

Think about it.

Do you see Ramirez bending to one of Canelo's catchweights or coming all the way down to 160 for the fight? Think about that cuz its NOT gonna happen. So indeed, he will be bigger.

ironically you're referring to time as I.. think about present and future tense...

Looking too deep into it man lol. Doesnt matter if it lands on saturday or not

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.

No. Just no, everything about this is just wrong. No one cares if it lands on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday; Cinco de Mayo is just an excuse to get together and throw a party on the weekend.

[just the facts]

team canelo never intended for the fight to happen this year, all that garbage they spewed last year about definitely fighting ggg in 2017 was just that, garbage. canelo and his team are pathetic, hopefully chavez pulls off the upset on saturday.

So team g string turned down a 15 million dollar offer but it's team Canelo that spews garbage? Face it, no matter when the fight gets made, Canelo is only going to agree if the purses reflect both fighters drawing power. 15 million more than a fair offer.

I definitely see Canelo David in September and GGG in May. The difference will be that the fight had been agreed upon already for May so people don't lose their ****.
