Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Plans To Speak With HBO on Canelo-Fielding

[Pennsauken1]

This fight is a joke, it should be a non televised fight

[The3]

I see one last card since the fight is in December

Lemieux 5'10 vs Eubank Jr 5'11 need to be on the undercard

[Jab jab boom]

yea but his numbers will be huge since he butt-fcuked Golovkin

his numbers didn't shoot up after beating cotto, his rematch numbers vs ggg actually went down from the first fight, and other than his typical fan boys, nobody is thinking that Canelo is now all of a sudden a much bigger ppv star because he got what most believed was a generous decision. Put this next fight vs rocky fieldmouse on ppv and numbers will be trash for sure.

GGG did 150K with Jacobs canelo worse ppv did double that. And love how you ignore canelo doing 1M PPV buys just last year against Chavez. GGG fans commenting on somebody else's ppvs is hilarious. Canelo has sold about 6M PPVS without GGG. GGG has sold a total of 300K PPVs without canelo LMAO

Canelo isnt Floyd big deal Floyd is the biggest seller of all time. But he's the next best thing the biggest draw today with 8M PPVs sold and he's only 28. GGG without canelo is a StubHub level fighter lol

What does ggg have to do with what I said about canelo?? Stop trying to defend your God by constantly bringing up ggg. I'm not a ggg fan, I just prefer him over canelo because Canelo avoided him and then got help from judges when he finally decided to man up. You love bringing up the Chavez jr fight but let me bust your bubble. We all know that Chavez being the son of the most popular Mexican fighter of all time had alot to do with that. Chavez jr did respectable numbers vs Sergio on ppv (better than cotto did vs martinez). And let's be honest , Canelo vs Chavez did well because it was 2 Mexicans fighting on a Mexican holiday and y'all will buy anything that was billed as a "Mexican Civil War" even if the fight was guaranteed to suck, which it did. Y'all ******ly believed Oscar when he said itd be morales vs barrera all over. Lmaoooo. If this next canelo fight goes on ppv, the numbers will suck, just like they do whenever he doesn't have a strong b side. This fight is ass and the fact that you're trying to defend, further prives that Canelo fans are just groupies of his and not actual boxing fans. Just accept the reality of who your are.

let's not actike he's Floyd. His ppv numbers are ass vs nobodies. Dude didn't even crack 300 k vs Liam Smith not too long ago.

Doesn't need to be Floyd. There's no other active fighter pulling bigger numbers, so his comment stands as a fact.

I think it will be on regular HBO as their swan song for boxing. They’ll promote it as a celebration of all the great fights they have had over the last 30 years then wrap it up with Canelo knocking this guy out in spectacular fashion and picking up an easy 168 strap.
BBB side can fight Charlo and then beg for a 3rd fight on Canelo’s terms. Just as it should be.

[Boxing Scene]

Because Canelo is the ratings king. Who wouldn't want this fight?

No one wants this ****ing fight. NO ONE knows who Fielding is. I've never heard of this cab driving bum of a fighter.

Sounds like it's right up HBO's alley. lol

Only reason I chose HBO ( and SHO)over Starz, is boxing. Yeah, I enjoyed the Andre The Giant documentary, but it was considered a bonus.

I dont watch...stuff...like Game of Thrones. I am subscribed primarily for the one or two boxing events a month.

Without boxing, well it's just another entertainment/movie channel. I get that with the hundreds of OTHER non premium channels ! After the Jacobs show, HBO is of no more use to me, and I'm finally giving Starz a shot !

lol sucks for you!!! Game of thrones is awesome so is Westworld!! Facts HBO doesn't need boxing at all as most of their subscribers have it for it's original shows! your are the tiny minority!

[maracho]

Scumbag decisions and lobbying by the likes of Oscar de la Hoya is a main reason that HBO boxing sunk
