Comments Thread For: Lemieux Aims To Land Canelo on Cinco De Mayo Date

[Larry the boss]

Honestly it has to be Jacobs, Andrade (should he win next fight) or GGG rematch. Hell I'll take the bum killer Charlo at this point. Lemieux cannot follow the Fielding fight!

GGG followed a Monroe fight with a Lemiuex fight and people actually bigged him up for it Hell he even followed that up with the huge Wade fight

That fight doesn’t sell out a stadium up here. And even if it did, after the conversion rate you might as well have just done an arena in the states. Not to mention cinco de Mayo would be a Sunday night.

The fight would be Saturday, May 4th! I don't know the economics of Canadian boxing, but obviously B-Hop knows something?

The Fight Leonard vs. Duran/June 20

June 22, 1980:

The subject was money, specifically the amount of cash Roberto Duran would earn after winning the world welterweight championship from Sugar Ray Leonard Friday night.

Mike Trainer, Leonard's attorney and the man who put together the deals that created the most lucrative gate in the history of professional boxing, was smiling now, three hours after his man had lost his title...

The Montreal promoter of the fight -- the Olympic Installations Board -- said it needed 41,000 in the stadium to break even.

The crowd exceeded that total by more than 6,000 and justified spending $5.5 million in taxpayer money by insisting the out-of-town fight crowd would pump as much as $20 million into the city's economy.

CANELO needs to fight winners like CHARLO, JACOBS or rematch GG. LEMIEUX is damaged goods!!!

And that was the last time a boxing event was ever held at the Big O

Please, not this fight, never Canelo vs Lemieux. If this is his Cinco De Mayo, then one can write the year off for Canelo. He may as well fight 'Spike' 'o Sullivan then lol.

[UNBIASED BOXING]

GGG followed a Monroe fight with a Lemiuex fight and people actually bigged him up for it Hell he even followed that up with the huge Wade fight

Lemieux was a champion with a belt at the time and was coming off a dominant win over N'Dam.

Tureano Johnson passed from the mandatory against Golovkin due to injury, so Dominic Wade was next in line for mandatory and so Golovkin took the fight.


Try harder.

Canelo might change all that? I know NYC and NY Yankees would love it!

Im done being a Canelo fan if its LeSux!!! Fkn dude got BEAT by a career S. MW who Angulo KTFO in 1 round. And Ricky Martin Rubio KO'd him. Then in his OWN backyard Saunders made him look beyond ******!!!

*** THAT!!! Not on Cinco De Mayo...

[Mikedadon]

This needs to be the year where canelo tries to become undisputed at 160 that means ibf and wbo. Demetrius in may and danny in September, but lemieux I definetly dont wanna see canelo knock him out in 2 rounds

[Shadoww702]

Ah yes, the fight everyone wants to see.


RIP DAZN

My thoughts exactly!!! And when Canelo wins watch his ass say I gave this fight for my fans. Blah, blah.

*** Oscar *** Canelo is this SHT fight is next on Cinco De Mayo.

DAZN this type of SHT will make me CANCEL my subscription NOT get new ones. Not even worth $10
