    The "Andrade is a snooze and will never be a draw" argument has legs, but last night is a terrible basis for that argument imo. It was a Miami crowd (not a kind place to the sport historically), the overwhelming majority of which were there for the Youtube cringies that were the effective main event despite the chronology. Half of that crowd would have walked if Canelo-GGG III was next, and I find it hard to believe everyone here doesn't understand that.

        Well duh.... People came out to see Jake Paul... Only way people would stay is if the main event was better or had more star power.

        If it was Canelo vs Andrade everyone would stay.
        Situation like this is was smarter to have the circus fight last tbh.

            Miami is a terrible fight town. People have tried off and on for years to get something going there. Never seems to pan out......
            Every city at this point is a terrible fight town. Look at how many showed to support Julian Williams in Philly a couple of weeks ago and Philly is “fight town” FOH with that man.

            I was there live last night and after the Paul-Gib fight like 600 young kids just started to follow KSI like he was the pope out the arena. Wilder-fury could of went next and those YouTube kids still would of left.

            Don’t give miami a bad name it’s the state of boxing, dying sport like Jai Alai and dog racing at this point

              a bunch of suckers came to see him fight 2 no-hopers. Fact is that Charlo and Andrade NEED eachother. You can argue that Charlo is a draw, but he isnt doing anything for his legacy. BIG difference. I get it that you shill hard for pbc/haymon, but ignorance is a terrible thing.

                I would not know as I tuned out after Diaz/Farmer. The last 2 fights both ****** but for different reasons.

                  Really sad career Andrade has had. He's probably the fighter with the worst popularity to talent ratio out there with Gary Russell being a close second.

                    Bad comparison because YouTube fighters would never be on a Canelo-GGG card and you know that. But there is an opportunity to defend Hearn / DAZN, you cant help yourself

                      Canelo will fight Charlo before he fights Andrade. Charlo does not need Andrade. Andrade needs Charlo or any decent name
