Canelo Alvarez vs Anvi Yilidrim Headed to FOX?

[care4ameatball]

Plant? Or Yildrim?

Yildrim, I’ve heard of him but it’s such a pointless fight for canelo

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.

Not So Fast!

They just might try to stick it on PPV and just Stack Out the Card but I Hope Not!

Good for them. You can't pay me to watch this mismatch. Screw WBC and its mandatories. They are all crooks. Pass.

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?

The second option is clearly the better one for boxing. But I expect the first to happen because BJS is the more proven fighter.
