No wonder ODLH's been crying non-stop for people to buy his GBP sponsored boxing match (GGG vs Canelo) and ranting against Floyd. BTW and conveniently, he didn't mumble a single word about the time when Ali fought some shin kicking Asian (forget his name) decades ago as a boxing match. Go figure .....

This news is both astonishing and embarrassing to say the least. This event generated more revenue than any other boxing event in HISTORY, outside of May-Pac and it only had a two-three month promotion. In one corner, you had a retired forty year old boxing HOF'er and in the other a up and coming MMA Star. And their event out sold every boxing event in history save one. Either other boxer's, along with their Promoter's need to up their game, or boxing needs another major star. Because no other match is even coming close to generating two million PPV's, let alone FOUR freaking million.

Its peculiar, that a boxing event that generated this much revenue under the boxing banner can be criticized, given the odd particulars surrounding the event.

Was Oscar De La Hoya even born when Ali was fighting? There was no PPV back then....if Ali, Tyson, Chavez, Leonard, Hearns, Hagler Duran and De La Hoya were fighting in this day and age Floyd wouldn't be the top dog....not even close!!!

I'm sure they were planning to sell this out..it's probably a financial mess. Smart contracts/blockchain please enter the boxing space. The ability to transparently see the numbers would change the game and bull****ers won't be able to lie to push their agenda trying to hype people out their hard working money. Plus the tech would bring hella much more to really make the business of the sport fair and efficient.
