    Canelo cheating really did himself a disservice to his career and GGG fighting Vanes did as well. Who cares about sept 15. I’m more excited for
    Wilders v Joshua
    Spence v Crawford
    And honestly Garcia v Porter.

    Depends what you mean by bigger.

    I'm also far more interested in a good number of other fights, especially Wilder vs Joshua, Spence vs Crawford, however in a pure $$$ perspective Canelo-GGG II is still the biggest fight.

    Well, you are looking at it from your perspective and what you like.

    Golovkin got criticism from some of the hardcore fans but the casuals loved the Martirosyan fight.
    Golovkin-Martirosyan is still the most watched premium cable fight of the year.
    And the sheer size of the Canelo rematch is burying a lot of the controversy.

    We can't agree on this at all, there is just no way of knowing that until the final numbers are in.
    What we do have are the numbers from Alvarez-Golovkin I and Joshua-Klitchko. (Canelo - GGG dwarfs Joshua-K)

    This.
    Some of the older fights had massive amounts of people tuning in, but the current PPV system overshadows those numbers with the $ sign.

    Bigger? I don't think so.. GGG vs. Canelo was big when it came out a year ago.

    Sure, I was told by youse brilliant knowers and soothsayers of boxing that Canelo's career was over because of the beef.
