    It is not a big enough fight YET to do some type of FOX/ESPN Cross/Co-Promotion that is for sure but NOBODY wants to admit that

      I asked this question thinking remember the ggg hype especially vs canelo that was the last boxing match even though series that sold 1m above ppv. Beterbiev is basically a light heavy ggg broken english ko artist. So would Canelo vs Beterbiev sale similar and if add a quality co main event teflo vs lomanchanko Whyte vs joyce or even crawford cause cant sale on own vs mikey garcia as co main on canelo vs beterbiev . basically looked between top rank n matchroom not listing Aj vs Fury cause its not doing 1m plus buys in the USA so stop it. Maybe pbc put pac vs garcia or ggg vs caleb plant co main for AJ vs wilder but u asking yo lose money for that type co main n main needs 1.5m ppv just break even

        Right. Neither has the personality or charisma for PPV either. Crawford, tho, has top notch skills.

          If Floyd legitimately returns and fights Canelo or the winner of Spence/Crawford.

          if Spence KO’s Crawford in late 2021 and then fights Canelo on cinco de Mayo weekend 2022 that would outsell the exhibitions.

          And MAYBE if wilder kos Fury and then fights AJ but I’m not sure.
          This.

          And I think Wilder/AJ is dead as a legitimately insane level fight.

          Andy Ruiz & Tyson Fury ended that.

          It was big when it was US vs. UK undefeated warriors.

          What would've made it even more insane is if Fury and Joshua had a barnburner first with the winner fighting Wilder in America or in Wimbley in England.

          That was boxing's last chance at an insane level fight, but it's gone now.

          It is about the sport.

          We went from Ali being the most famous person on earth to fxking Logan Paul being a bigger draw than any actual boxer.

          Connor McGregor's a bigger star than any of these dudes.

          Ronda Rousey too.

          If she came back, she'd outdraw 90% of these dudes.

            Train wrecks, car crashes and suicide attempts will always get more attention than they should.

            Same for these lame money grab sparring sessions.

              Pacquiao Floyd rematch

              Canelo GGG Trilogy

              AJ vs. Fury

              Or any combination of bouts with those fighters.

              Teofimo eventually I believe could become a bigger star. He’s a more entertaining attraction than his peers.


              Absolutely none of today’s top boxers are superstars. Too much ducking and trying to protect their “0” via Floyd.
              Letting fights “marinate”


              Even Max Kellerman said the other day that Floyd was smart for waiting until Manny got old to fight him.
              Kellerman said that was Floyd’s strategy.

                  No its not, just got to understand boxing is a niche sport with its own group of fans.

                  Entertainment is the casuals domain and it includes a massive demographic, why does fake fighting WWE pull big numbers, because fake is the latest trend and everyone is in style.

                    Put it this way.

                    You throw Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel in a boxing match and charge ppv, while they seriously train, it will sell well over 2M PPV’s.

                      Pacquiao-Canelo I'm confident does around 1.5m
