Canelo Alvarez vs Anvi Yilidrim Headed to FOX?

[KTFOKING]

Hearing that Canelo Alvarez’s WBC 168 mandatory defense vs. Anvi Yildirim could be headed to FOX in late February/March.

No word on if this is a one-off deal or could lead to a PPV showdown with Caleb Plant on the same platform.

There were rumors of Canelo possibly signing a two fight deal with Hearn where he would fight Yilidrim in Feb and then BJS in May. That very well may still happen. But do you prefer that or Canelo going Yilidrim in February and then Plant in May?

If this fight is on regular FOX, how many viewers does this fight do? Can it average around 8M or so? Peak over 10M? If it does that, would it possibly lead to more events from FOX with bigger names on regular FOX instead of PPV?

Damn! Canelo has all these promoters/networks fighting over him like a group of junkies fighting over a rock.

It will be good for boxing for the sport's biggest star to fight on free TV.

Canelo is the top dog and available so no surprise.

I just hope at most he just signs two fight deals and keeps his options open. He can end his career on a special run.

As long as it is FREE! Sign Me Up! Would be great to have the biggest star in boxing currently on Free TV and on a HUGE Network like FOX. Would also like to see Wilder fight Helenius on FOX for free as his get back fight as well as Spence Jr if he has to fight Abduqaxorov for his IBF Mandatory then put that on FOX as well

I’d rather Canelo-Plant than Canelo-Saunders to be honest.

Saunders ship has sailed, hasn’t done anything of note for years.

It’s still a good fight but I’d much rather Plant or Charlo at this point.

Oh, it will be free lol. No way can you put this fight on PPV. And looks like Kownacki vs Helenius II is set for early 2021.

Yeah, give me the Plant fight as well but wouldn't mind the BJS fight since there are some that think he is all wrong for Canelo.

Plant January on FOX
Canelo February on FOX
then a May FOX PPV could do a huge number.

I honestly don't care at all about this fight, like why would Canelo be fighting this guy who I have never even heard of?
