    A very controversial scorecard (not the first either) and he got caught doping prior to the rematch, which he won. That tends to hurt popularity.

    Oscar practically admitted in the open letter after the second fight that GGG didn’t get the nod the first time because he doesn’t bring in enough money to Vegas.

    Nothing much to see here really, it simply comes down to the opponent. Jacobs, Fielding and Kova were not big names compared to GGG(and even he was not a proven PPV commodity) so it was obvious that Canelo vs these guys was going to do less that Canelo/GGG.

    As long as the General Forum exists, Canelo will always have drawing power.

    Are the 24 and 27 mil fights or on PPV? PPV can cost $75+, where as DAZN is subscription charge of $20 a month.

    Fast turn around time! He usually fights in September and slot of Mexicans book their vacation in that week. I was I. Vegas this Mexican I dependence day and there was a bunch of Mexican national tourist. I think he is doing fine considering Dazn does not really care if there is butts in the seats! They care about subs

    It's a DAZN problem. No one knows what it is, and casuals have zero contact with it.

    But you admit GGG is the biggest draw he can get.

    Absolutely. As of right now GGG is the second biggest name around Canelo's divisions and the biggest fight that can be made at least below 175.

    He’s the biggest name and still the biggest challenge bar Beterbiev imo.

    The thing with Beterviev is that he's close to 35 and the "cherrypicking" excuses would start piling up as soon as he took that fight.
