    Manny could have been #1 but Arum had him fighting Algerie, Horn etc. Instead of Khan Broner

      Still pushing that gross mismatch? Today's Canelo would slaughter today's Mayweather. It would be cruelty to old welterweights. Wake up to reality Mayweather lover. He made the baby Canelo fight him at a catchweight of 152. No way in hell is Mayweather foolish enough to fight the middleweight champion.

            Crazy that Canelo was able to surpass Mayweather gate from their fight. No matter how the guy ***s up, he's still a solid draw. Will be really interesting to see how his career plays out.

                Hence all the decisions that go in both Floyd and Canelo's favor in Vegas. Easy math.

                  That's some impressive gates.

                  Canelo is a big draw, no doubt.

                    Yeah that proves his drawing power.

                    He's the only guy to sell more at the gate with a different opponent than when he fought Floyd. That speaks volumes.

                    Oscar, Pacquaio, Cotto, McGregor all can't say that.

                    Unlikely he outsells his Floyd fight on PPV though.

                      Canelo is the biggest financial draw no doubt due to being a huge star in the biggest boxing market.

                      I'd wager good money that Joshua is better known globally though. Being a HW champion is a big deal everywhere.

                      When I was in ****kok, Thailand, this summer, it was a 20ft picture of Joshua in the Under Armour store, not Canelo.
