Comments Thread For: Callum Smith on Canelo: You Want a Fight People Will Tune In For - You Have To Pay!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Callum Smith tells BoxingScene.com that he hasn't heard whether or not he will be Saul "Canelo" Alvarez's next opponent, but he is expecting it won't be him and has stopped even reading about it. Back before the lockdown, it was Smith or Billy Joe Saunders to get the Cinco de Mayo fight with the popular Mexican in Las Vegas. Canelo went for Saunders, the WBO super middleweight champion.

Dazn is banking on the ******ity of Canelo fans to be willing to pay for anything involving Canelo, even if it's vs a nobody or outmatched opponent. They probably remember that a trash fight like Canelo vs Chavez Jr, which everyone knew was a scam, still sold 1 mil ppvs. The Chavez name had something to do with that though, so I think Smith does have a point. If dazn wants good #s for the Canelo fight, they may likely need more than just canelos gullible fan base to support them and will need to provide a somewhat meaningful opponent.

No one GAF about Callum Smith.. who is this guy kidding.. just like no one gives a damn about Billy Joe.. these guys bring in no subscribers at all. These clowns fight deep on the undercards of youtubers... now y’all supposedly are what bring the numbers in? SMH. Get real.. GGG gets to fight every scrub in the world and I don’t hear this but he has to bring in subscribers nonsense.. guess Latinos get a different treatment huh?? Canelo vs Quigley is fine, Quig will bring in Irish fans.

The sad reality is alot of people who really know nothing about boxing with tune in because Canelo is involved. No matter who his opponent is. I feel like Canleo is using his leverage by not naming the opponent so everybody who's name is in the hat kinda gives up on it and Canelo can catch them out of shape.

The same can be said about Mayweather and his fans, or any other popular fighter for that matter.

Can you imagine Floyd’s opponents telling him, i want to fight you but you have to pay me real good! The only explanation is they have no real confidence to win.
