    I can't buy into that. Booboo might get his hand raised in the end but it would be 12 rounds of hell for him.

    It's not that Boo Boo "might" get his hand raised, it's that I'm sure that Boo Boo would get his hand raised.

    He would have to work, obviously. But he would win 100% 99% (because in boxing everything is possible) sure imho. Different levels.

    And I cant stand Boo Boo, he's a complete *******.

    On the other hand, Boo Boo is a lazy *******, I doubt Boo Boo would accept a fight vs Ryder. Too much work, too little reward.

    I wonder if that's including the free codes DAZN were giving out to those who purchased the Davis-Garcia fight through their platform. :elboinas:

    That was to be expected so it seems he & Tank are neck & neck when it comes to fighting no namers in PPV not that shocking really.

    everyone knows you gotta have a dance partner to crack 500k PPV

    For most casuals it was a watch-the-highlights-in-the-morning type of fight and might have been dismissed as Canelo post-injury warm up. Hardcores knew that Ryder is a different breed, and that he repeteadly went against the odds to get that shot.

    Yeah the DAZN feed was messed up. I think in order for them to send you a free code for the Canelo fight, you had to fill out a form with POP. proof of purchase.

    The difference is in the double-standard. 200k+ were considered "PPV star" numbers for Tank but disappointing numbers for Canelo.

    Also, there's no doubt that mud-slinging helps sell a fight and Canelo's last 3 opponents have refused to play that game.

    Nice Nuance , but that was Elllerbe just using his mouth piece (disgusting):ohno

    Canelo vs Berlanga will definitely crack the 500k mark.
    But so will Tank vs Pitbull 2
    Neck & neck says I.

    Agree on Canelo/Berlanga numbers but I hope Canelo doesn't go that route.
    I would be surprised if Tank/Pitbull2 did over 350k.

    You could be right on tank vs Pitbull 2
    As for Canelo vs berlanga freshly acquired by matchroom
    https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/box...canelo-alvarez-fight/ssd7grhajyp1slx8zn07iqb6
    is being discussed after the impass by bivol & stubbornness by Canelo
    Both refusing to budge… Canelo wants 175lbs
    Bivol wants 168lbs - so talks have died down

    enter Edward Berlanga stage left.

    Pitbull doesn't have a big fan base. & he'll get blasted in the rematch in most ppls opinion. At least I think

    Oh crap, seems like this fight is closer to becoming reality than I thought. I'm not opposed to it but simply feel that at this point a win over Berlanga does nothing for Canelo's legacy.

    It should be Bivol, Benavidez, Charlo.
