Did last saturday night proved Canelo is a bigger draw then Chavez Jr?

Chavez Jr. cost 50 dollars to watch... so no, Canelo is not a bigger draw.

 

:deal

You know if you asked it honestly not arrogantly you wouldn't sound ignorant.

It WAS supposed to be a PPV, Canelo was supposed to fight Paul Williams who unfortunately suffered a serious motorcycle accident, hello, where were you a couple of months back? Then Golden Boy started negotiating with Kirkland who all of the sudden decided to join sue Oscar and join 50cent, then came he idea of Ortiz, big WW, but Josesito broke his jaw and will. Golden Boy was left with little time to negotiate a big fight, so opted to drop the PPV, give Josesito his career payday and put together a stacked card that delivered.

It was not a PPV because GBP thought the card wasn't PPV worthy, but it sure broke Showtime's record as the most watched fight in their broadcasting history. :deal

I have no idea where people started the "Canelo chooses LWW bums" thing, but this better end because it couldn't be further from the truth. He just fought Mosley, supposed to take on the bigger Williams/Kirkland (latter can still happen in December) and is looking forward to meet Cotto in May. Which will be a HUGE PPV event.

 

Canelo has one of the most corrupt TV companies in Mexico behind him, they are cooking ratings, giving away tickets and GBP has been putting him against mediocre competition, and don't get me wrong many people are calling for canelo to fight a live oponent, they now respect chavez and canelo is losing respect, at least that is what is happening here in Mexico

 

There's no way to prove that based on last weekend. Jr. had a much better opponent and fought in a bigger arena. Canelo fought another Jr. welter, but had a stacked undercard. I watched both.

 

This! Some people don't seem to realize a good undercard can have a huge impact on a fight's viewership.

 

And in SoCal. Mexican fight fans expect their champions to take on the best. Chavez Sr. definitely padded his record, but he fought the Taylors and ODLHs too.

 

Canelo is a bigger draw period.

 

Based on what exactly?

 

None of this says Canelo is a bigger draw dude. You're taking from it exactly what you want to.

 

Look, you muppets.

Last weekend proved that if given the choice between option A, which is free, or option B that costs, most people will pick the free option, regardless of quality.

That's all it proved.

 

In Mexico, there is not doubt that Canelo is the bigger draw based on television ratings, viewership etc, plus talking to family in central Mexico and visiting, Canelo is more popular. Canelo fights a bum and sells out the MGM on the same night Chavez fights P4P #3 Martinez, that has to tell you something.
