Canelo needs to look at this list and reassess his deal with DAZN. Because he would have been on this list if he took the Mayweather PPV route instead of fighting on an app. Boxing, for the longest time has always had that one face that the general public considered 'the one.' That fighter was the one that all the casuals and novices knew when they were fighting and subsequently made their way to the fight parties. In America it went from Sugar Ray Leonard to Mike Tyson - Sweet Pea Whitaker (and Julio Ceaser Chavez) - Roy Jones - de la hoya - Mayweather (and Pacquiao). Canelo was in position to takeover as the next PPV star for the next decade. Instead he jumped behind a paywall and left the public (casuals) without a clear understanding on who that face is. Canelo should be on PPV to make huge money fights with the likes of Charlo and Andrade. Yes they will be 100 million dollar fights because of the black/Mexican angle, and lets admit it, the whole black/brown thing in America will sell itself. Canelo would be quaranteed more than 35 mill a fight. But instead this leaves Al Haymon scrambling to find a replacement for him. Mikey cant be him because that beating he took from Spence dropped his credibility. Gervonta Davis maybe but we'll see once he fights GRJ, Devin, Ryan, Teofomo, Commey, Loma, Tevin or Leo (damn 135 and 130 looks good). Errol Spence looked like he was the one but the drinking/driving/crashing may have scarred off investors. So it looks like Wilder will be the man. Canelo still has a chance to come back and claim his rightful place. But we'll see in 2020 what happens! WAR PBC

Mayweather ruined PPV with his boring fight with Pacquio that’s why Canelo took that 400 million today fighters have a hard time reaching 200K in PPV no one will get a 1 million buys anymore cause people don’t want to pay 100 dollars for fruit cake fights today’s Champs cherry-pick fights avoid top fighters because they’re with Arum ya thanks Floyd for F N up great fights

Technology theft is another factor

But if to A side guys would step into the ring w 7 to 10 yrs of battles behind them

1 to 4 million ppv is possible

Puzzyfruit vs Wilder can hit 1.5 to 3 million ppv in America, 2 million in Uk

Pacquiao vs Canelo at 155 limit could hit 2 million ppv

Wilder vs Dubois #1 fight could hit over 1 million if Dubois beats Ortiz, Miller, Breezy in America

Canelo vs Charlo would do over a million ppv

Eubank jr vs Canelo #2 fight could do over a million, ( after Eubank beats him in first fight)

Canelo vs Munguia could hit 2 million in 2021

Its still in the match ups fans

[JuanSkinner]

They say boxing dead..... if 1 boxer earning more than messi and Ronaldo that's mega man

[millcitymauler]

Ofc it is my business. The less these mfers pay, the more I have to pay or enjoy lower civilizational level. It's just that you 2 clowns are too dumb to understand.
