Comments Thread For: The Night Canelo and DAZN Took Over New York

[MisanthropicNY]

DAZN didn't take over squat, but nice corporate propaganda there. DAZN is amateur night.

The only thing they got going for them is SRL. Pretender is a born suit, Mannix is terrible, the woman -- who the fook was that?

Then you have people walking in front of the camera and broadcasters all night. Mannix got feedback on his mic during a monologue.

Real pro!

If Canelo spoke even a little English from time to time, his profile would near double in size. Come on, Ginger, fork out on some more English lessons because I'm getting too old to learn Mexican...

I’ve been able to see Canelo’s last 9 fights live including the Fielding fight Saturday night. I can honestly say that out of all the Canelo fights, i’ve attended the Fielding fight had the best atmosphere hands down that includes both fights with GGG and HOF Cotto. A big reason for that was there where actual boxing fans and less casuals due to the tickets being reasonably priced for example the cheapest tix for the Fielding fight where $81.00 plus tax for the GGG or Cotto fights the cheapest tix where $700 bucks + tax for nosebleed seats. The cheaper tix made it possible for the blue collar worker to be able to watch their favorite fighters live in Canelo making the atmosphere in the Mecca of Boxing electric once “Mexico Lindo y Querido” Nelo’s walkout song all the Mexican people sang along to it or after the 1st round when they played Vicente Fernandez “El Rey” it was deja vu all over again as the Mexican people belted out to it. Madison Square Garden truly is a great place to watch a boxing match and for that night Canelo was the king of New York as many of his countryman myself included consume the streets of NY.

What a bunch of bull****. I live in NYC & this fight was not a big deal.

I'm sure you're just hating too,...

The feedback thing is what I laughed at. I had to turn to my wife like “did we just hear them tell him to let Joshua go?”

If the atmosphere was as good as you claim, I’d also point out that the event was likely 100% Canelo fans. Those other fights had GGG fans, Cotto fans, etc. last night was the Canelo Álvarez show. The champ had the first ring walk for Christ sake

Great KO victory and 1st event for CANELO on DAZN. Ryan Garcia's fight was very entertaining as well.

The New York City crowd was awesome , great boxing fans in New York.

Great job from all the DAZN staff as well , from Brian Kenny , Sugar Ray Leonard & Sergio Mora to Ak & Barak and everyone accross the board , job well done.

Fighters that were going to be on this event but couldn't be , like Munguia, Lemieux & Ortiz would of made the event even better. I hope they're on the next CANELO fight card.

Overall great 1st event to build upon.

[Pennsauken1]

First of all he fought a stiff that no one cared about except Canela maniacs, who know no better, and second, that was a terrible commercial with Michael Buffer, STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cigar]

Sugar Ray sucks as a color analyst. Great boxer, I like the guy. But DAZN needs to do better. Would prefer another play by play guy as well.

I do like the DAZN production overall though.

Brian Kenny is ok. I think he's a work in progress. Agree that Sugar Ray Leonard doesn't add much, and Sergio Mora doesn't either.
