Originally posted by Realizniguhnit View PostI don't know what you are trying to say but if you think Canelo has room to grow PPV or draw wise you're mistaken. He's at the peak of his career. GGG is the biggest fight he could have made been a 3 year wait and only did 1.3m. Even Oscar knows Floyd's career is a once in a lifetime career and didn't even take off until he was 30 years old. I highly doubt Canelo will be fighting past his early 30's and doesn't even speak English that matters no matter what they say Mayweather McGregor showed people still love build up and trash talking. Canelos career draw wise is more comparable to Mike Tyson, Floyd is on a totally different level never took 1 L and he literally worth almost a Billion dollars Canelo probably hasn't even seen 65 million yet even though he's 27 his career still has a trajectory and it's not on the upswing after GGG I'd bet the rematch does less than 1.3m and once Canelo reaches 30 boxing will have others stars on the come up.

Originally posted by filup79 View PostBetter fighters than Floyd at that age? He's only fought Lara, Floyd, Trout Cotto and now GGG that were top fighters. In all those fights he never really dominate or look good against them. He's beaten old, shot and smaller fighters with a name other than that. Go look at who Floyd had already beaten by 27. And if you don't know any of those names than you must have barely started watching boxing.

Originally posted by Verus View PostThe boxing market has changed drastically over the years and will continue to change (decline). With competition from other sports, new forms of entertainment and new technologies, PPV is not a sustainable venue. Young folks are not much interested in boxing anymore, certainly not as participants. Boxing in the future will be even more dominated by foreign fighters, and the domestic market will continue to decline.

Canelo is the current top draw... but that's not saying much - and there aren't any fights out there where he can hit a mil... a GGG rematch is probably the only one... even Cotto didn't hit a mil.

Originally posted by DblLFThooK View PostCanelo does not really have any competition with ppv. So it is really not that impressive. Mayweather dwarfs anything canelo will ever do.
Plus the general public was turned off my canelo's performance against ggg and the decision overall. Oscar is very out of touch with the general public. And having the genral publics attentio is how mcgregor and mayweather made so much money.
Does canelo have a future opponent other than ggg that will help him beat his most current ppv buy rate?
