    Davis is supposed to be the co-main, and Eddie Hearn is trying to make Badou Jack vs Cleverly for the undercard.

    i thought you were saying mayweather megregor is a bigger fight, but it is definitely not a bigger fight.

    Why isn't it?

    You can call it an event but its still a sanctioned 12 rounds of boxing and that makes it a fight. Not a good one , but a fight nonetheless.
    Its more popular and will sell far more PPVs therefor its bigger. Not better -bigger

    i see what you mean but to me a bigger fight is a fight that is meaningful, ggg vs canelo is for the unified middleweight championchip featuring 2 of the top p4p fighters.
    Maymegregor is a bigger event as there will be more interest in it but the fight itself is meaningless.

    Its obviously of far more greater significance and importance.

    MayGregor is just telling of the state of the sport at the moment. 100 bills on PPV while Crawford vs Dongo undisputed fight goes on ESPN for free.

    I'm actually looking forward to this undercard. FOX says prelims start at 6 or 7pm but there's no fight announced.

    TMT wants to give 3 weeks notices to opponents ? And take it or leave it deals because there's no time for negotiations??

    Yup. Us hardcore boxing fans may not like it but odds are it outsells Canelo/GGG and by a lot.
