That's speculation, I might agree with your prediction but we'll see what the future holds.

Canelo will never get near as big as Floyd.

We are very fortunate to be living in the AJ era of boxing.

There is nothing like a Wembley atmosphere!! The open stadium is like a boom box, the crowd roar inside can be heard for miles around the stadium. But Wembley is only available in the summer due to it being open roofed so it means he can’t fight as often!!.

Principality stadium has 75k seats and a retractable roof so can be used during bad weather but it doesn’t have the history or atmosphere of a Wembley stadium or Old Trafford stadium.

My guess is he will fight at Old Trafford next in march for the first time and sell out 85k seats. Then Wembley in summer and maybe even extend it to 95k or 100k seats if the council give them permission to extend the seating capacity. Then his last fight of 2018 will be in US.

Wembley has a retractable roof as well.

Wembleys “rectractable roof” does not cover the entire stadium as it wasn’t designed that way, thus a boxing ring would be exposed to the elements.
