    Possibly easier to fathom if both are fighting under DAZN? I wonder how they fit into all this.

    Canelo is a PPV star. Can't see him going to fight on DAZN

    Fair play to Rocky for taking this.
    It's over at Madison S.G as well, one of the venues that fighters dream of.
    Could you imagine if he was to cause the upset, that would be something else.
    Can only see a k.o coming Rockys way but you never know.
    Looking forward to this.

    I don't think this will be PPV regardless. Showtime have fury v Wilder and won't want to hurt PPV sales for that with a Canelo fight two weeks later.

    ESPN I don't think will believe Canelo v Fielding can generate enough buys.

    I agree unless they pay him huge guaranteed money. Would be a great subscription driver for DAZN.

    Canelo would sell more ppvs than Wilder in States, by some margin too.

    Canelo has never weighed in at light heavyweight in his career, or even close to it.

    His heaviest ever weigh in is 164lb, way off light heavyweight?

    I think he means on fight night, I could be wrong. Think he comes in at 170ib+ ?

    Fair enough, but pretty much every middleweight weighs in a light heavy on fight night, so a little irrelevant.

    Yes he would but showtime won't want to lose buys for Wilder vs Fury

    I hope Fielding is getting a massive wedge out of this fight, because this is such a mismatch he could end up getting seriously busted up.
