    Based on what I'm seeing there's very little interest in this fight. Only one casual I know has mentioned this fight so far.

    Unless I'm missing something this fight looks on track to do Canelo/Angulo numbers.

    They're banking on Mexican live gate, billing it as his "return home"; the opponent for this date never really mattered.

    The local buzz for this fight is probably insane. How often do big fights happen in Mexico?

    Yeah i didn't even bother watching the press conference as i knew nothing would be said from either side so stale,

    Just checked & it's this weekend didn't even know that, it's more of a warm up for Canelo & his surgically repaired hand so that's probably why.

    I’m up for it
    But I am not considered casual enough.
    For instance the group of casuals at the party I attended & Watched the tank vs Ryan fight with - likely have no idea about it.

    just the way I like it. :sisi1
    $54.99 PPV is nice too.

    This is a Mexico fight. They will make it a huge success. His homecoming.

    Same. I'm still watching and buying it though, but I haven't talked to any of my many casual friends about it except for one and that's just because he asked me what I was doing tomorrow.

    B-sides matter, and John Ryder (as much as I like him) is not someone you would go with from a commercial standpoint.

    There’s also the fact that people want to see Canelo face Benavidez, or at least a Bivol rematch. So a Ryder tune-up doesn’t really cut it even for a lot of hardcore fans.
