    im not gonna buy any of them because im in the UK. but its clear they are just taking advantage of loyal mexican fans who are willing to buy PPV. the fans should ust boycott one of the fights.

    It's a joke if he gets a shot at Martinez before Golovkin does.

    Showtime has blown their budget big time and there are no more cookies left in the jar.GBP fleeced them but good and now Sho is attempting to sucker us in with 3 PPV's featuring Canelo.

    these days, apparently, you just need to be a ginger mexican to sell PPV

    your skill level and last fights perfomance have nothing to do with it - just as long as you have an intresting look

    how can he say they will all be on PPV

    will it be PPV if he gets beat the next 2 fights??

    I'm not sure there are 3 ppv caliber fights out there for Alvarez at the moment.

    Sure, Cotto and Martinez would qualify but they could end up fighting each other, lose to someone else first, negotiations don't go well, etc. I'm not sure he fights one let alone both guys next year.

    Of course a Mayweather rematch( if Alvarez won a fight or two first) or a Pacquaio fight would be big ppv's but they aren't happening anytime soon.

    Guys like Angulo, Ortiz, Thurman, Lara and even Quillen are really good and interesting fights for Alvarez but those are good Showtime fights and not ppv headlining fights even though we might have no option there.

    I'm not crazy about matches with Molina, Berto, Trout rematch etc even if they are on Showtime. I have no interest in them as ppv fights.

    Molina Then Ortiz & Cotto in Nov. :deal

    LOL @People writing off a 22/23 year old kid for losing a glorified fencing match to arguably the best fighter of the last 30 years. :patsch

    I don't like the idea of paying for his fights either (Any fight for that matter) But that is the business & Alvarez is going to carry the PPV burden from this point on.

    Molina fight aside... Ortiz & Cotto = Big business & appeal.
    Those fights will sell & put asses in the seats.

    and if he loses the 2nd one will be on PPV? :rofl:patsch

    Are they trying to tell us these fights have predetermined outcomes? Nobody other than Hispanics are going to buy him on PPV he isn't a PPV fighter.

    the 22/23 year old excuse is just not going to cut it anymore

    unless the 5'7" mexican with the abnormally short legs can grow two inches, develop heriditary one punch power in at least one hand and increase his low workrate to 700+ punches hes going to be what he is

    average

    the knowledeable guys tried to tell nuthuggers two years ago that hes flawed but you couldnt get past the red hair

    alvarez is going to look very nothing against molina who 10 years ago would be nothing himself...raul marquez material

    prime yory boy would beat them both

    @Rico Spadafora, lol. I honestly think Cotto, Golovkin, Trout(Rematch) Martinez or Lara beats Canelo....And i'd also give Molina and Angulo a Great shot at beating Canelo also, so they will probably choose Victoria "Secret" Ortiz.
