Yes they did over 2.2M PPVs and gained a lot of exposure, but, Canelo also took a huge loss, was schooled and embarrassed in the ring, lost his aura of invincibility, and disappointed many of his fans. That loss will hurt forever.
Imagine if Canelo didn't face Mayweather, Canelo would still be an undefeated phenom, like Golovkin. He would have more drawing power and popularity. People would be going crazy over him by now and may even favor him against Golovkin. And if he does fight Mayweather now it would be even bigger.
I remember before the Mayweather fight, the Canelo mania and hype was unreal.
So overall was it a bad idea to let Canelo fight Floyd that early and get exposed? Should they have waited a bit longer, or avoided Mayweather all together?
