This fight will be crooked, but in spite of Oscar buying off the judges, referee, and boxing commission he will still knock El Pollo out, but I expect Bob Bennett to pick El Pollo up off the canvas and declar him the winner anyway, that's not much of an exaggeration, El Pollo does have a rematch clause, so they might not fix the first fight, but they will fix the second one for sure.................How many steroids will El Pollo take? He does not have to take a drug test, Golovkin does........................
Canelo will have to take the standard urine test after the fight, but I have Soum he will not be randomly tested in the lead up to the fight. Golovkin is in the wbc's clean boxing program, which means random blood and urine testing throughout training. Canelo is conveniently feuding with the WBC and won't have anything to do with them.
He DOES but VADA hasn't tested him yet. VADA has to get some sort of order to perform the tests before that happens and as far as I know that hasn't happened yet. Same thing happened in Khytrov vs Aleem (Aleem never tested), Kovalev was tested a lot more than Ward was, Golovkin vs Jacobs (was Jacobs even tested at all?) and a few others that I'm forgetting. It usually has to do with the WBC. I'm not sure what the issue is for this fight.
If GGG and Canelo doesn't sell well that is down to GGG and Canelo. (And ODLH) It's not enough these days where you can just put on a show and hope everyone turns up, you have so many different competing markets, more tv channels, movies on demand, internet, video games, social media... the list is endless. So you have to sell yourself, especially in an individual sport like boxing, you have to create a little bit of hype, Ali was doing it way back in the 60s. If Oscar had spent a little less time whining, and a little more time promoting, maybe this would do better, I mean that is his job, and I don't think GGG or Canelo have done a great job of selling themselves to the wider public either. But, I'm sure none of them will be going hungry.
I wonder how much the language barrier hinders the marketability of this matchup to a wider audience? Peaking the interest of the casual fan has to do with a few factors,communication being one of them.
This is the most exciting fight for me this year! It's almost not a chance it'll be a boring fight, unless, Canelo tries to outbox GGG (like he did against Mayweather, but it didn't workout very well for him) but I think GGG pressure will make Canelo fight in the end either way...
