Canelo once again setting the bar in the sport proving to be the face of boxing.

Wonder if everyone who said GGG should accept a flat fee can see now how at the time, that offer was a blatant attempt by Oscar to avoid the fight for the time being while still trying to save face. Everyone knew this fight would do huge numbers due to the demand, despite ggg not generating big ppv #s with lemieux and jacobs.

Pacquiao is still #1! Pac is the Cash Cow.
