Why Did Roberto Duran attend UFC 244 instead of Canelo fight?

[IceTrayDaGang]

the crazy part is, that wasnt even a real title fight!!! it was for some made up BMF belt! lmao! got the legend duran, the rock and even trump showing up for this! got these people showing up to watch 2 supposed "thugs" fight? lol.

[IceTrayDaGang]

Pretty sure ufc pays for their appearances one thing about ufc is they don't get the celebrity crowd like boxing does

negative.. celebs actually attend more ufc fights than boxing! ufc events are like every week, plus the whole surrounding of ufc events is cater to the "hip" crowd. where as for boxing, it's an old man sports lol.

Yeah UFC just has better matchmaking these days, bigger stars.

Boxing stars still get more bread tho.

I'd imagine because he was paid an appearance fee. Why not earn an easy 10k or whatever it was, while enjoying ring side seats! It's a great publicity move from UFCs perspective too

mmm wtf were u watching canelo came on after the fight I was going back and forth between fights til I realized what was going so stayed with UFC fight til the end then flipped to canelo fight and they were just walking out it was funny to see kovalov laying on couch well rested laughing watching UFC fight. Also the crowd didn't boo the fight they bood the Dr ruling cause every mma follower knows Diaz gets cut same spot every fight and stays fighting same speed 4-5 rds when everyone else tires. Though Diaz already lost all 3 rds clearly wasn't close before Dr stoppage and would've only won by submission or ko though masdival was not tired so masdival probably was gonna win the last 2 rounds as well. Probably even stopped Diaz cause those viscous body shots were adding up. Point being you clearly didnt watch the fight or Don't know what your talking about

Sounds like the SMF fight wasn’t competitive at all!

Canelo was losing the fight (F the judges) and was well on his way to getting the most scrutiny in his career if it went to the cards but pulled out the knockout in clutch fashion!

Canelo went from needing the judges to win fights to now fixing his fights to win fights!

That’s a great fighter when I hear that, people forget that lots of great fighters got that from people when they did unimaginable feats in their careers!

Canelo is only 29 and still has about 4 or 5 years left to add to a marvelous career!

Even if he loses again his legacy is almost set!

I say Canelo does a GGG trilogy in May.

Roberto Duran, Dwayne Johnson, and Donald Trump all attended UFC 244 over Canelo fight. DAZN has to delay the Canelo fight until Diaz Masvidal was over.

Is Duran not a fan of Canelo?
Apparently Masvidal and Duran had dinner the night before the fight.

Shows how far boxing has fallen.

I remember tons of celebrities on hand for May-Pac but given what we got, I can't blame them for losing interest.

And UFC is organized with one champ per division. Boxing just needs to its **** together but don't worry.

It won't.

It won’t. Only be maybe 1-2 superstars every decade or so.
