Comments Thread For: Mayweather on Canelo-GGG: May, September Are My Dates

[Shams627]

Logical move would be for Mayweather to fight in November. But we shall see

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Disney plants it's flag and starts promoting long before anyone else. If Floyd/Connor was done months in advance maybe Golden Boy would of moved. But it's way too late hell even Dana White who understands business more then Floyd agrees with this. Canelo/GGG has the better fight already has the ball rolling with HBO and venues lined up. They ain't moving and Floyd knows it he is blowing smoking people around him will tell him just pick another date this ain't about your ego it's about making money and it's just bad business for Floyd this late in the game to try and move Canelo off that spot.

Floyd takes the fight before July, and grabs September, he will do just fine..

It's not like Floyd-Conor needs any help or time in "promoting "...

[lopez36]

because he doesn't want to. Does that bother you ?

clam down boy,,no need to get upset,and no anything he does doesn't bother me,or anybody else,it's just a sport at the end of the day,

true.

and people can say what they want, but the fact that both guys are bonafide s#it talkers, and speak english, doesn't hurt......as far as casual appeal goes.

How is Floyd taking the date, that he has had so much success on and staging the biggest fight of the past few years on it be shooting yourself in the foot?

Yeah that Berto fight sold SO many ppvs

[LacedUp]

then his fight will even do less. you'll be a fool to think people will buy floyd/conor over canelo/ggg.

in the words of GGG "you not seriousss"

He won't and it's suicide if he does. Again using your Disney analogy they have things scheduled long in advance. Floyd hasn't fought in forever and waited too damn long and now another mega blockbuster already has that date. Disney wouldn't plan something so crappy like this wait till the last minute and they would never rush something out because their movie costs more to make and requires more money back in revenue to break even. You take 1m PPV buys out of Floyd/Mcgregor pockets and they in red and Dana White and all the smart business people around floyd know it. This is about ego with Floyd doing this because it's just bad terrible business that only hurts Floyd more then it hurts Golden Boy. I believe without a doubt they can sell 1m PPV even head to head with Floyd more then enough to make money. Can Floyd get a network, venue and investors to put up money knowing they losing half their buyers by forcing this date? The answer is nope.

Golden Boy would move their date. Both would be hurt by competing PPVs, but Golden Boy more so because Mayweather-McGregor would crush it with publicity and it would be the more bought PPV.

I disagree...NOBODY who is planning to buy the GGG-Canelo fight would buy the May-Mac fight instead if they announced it for the same weekend. I would imagine 98% of NSB'ers will be streaming this fight anyway, no matter what date it falls on.

That's what I think too.

Mayweather vs McGregor is simply a mega event. I feel Canelo vs GGG is a big event, but nowhere near the size.

A RETIRED Black boxer fighting an 0-0 Irish boxer on A MEXICAN Holiday.

Buyer beware. My MONEY is not on the SHT side show Bob circus act

GGG vs. CANELO going be a WAR.

Floyd toying with Connor for 12 rounds is going to be a sparring slap fight
