    Yes it is that big.

    Outside of the HW division, it's the biggest fight than can be made.

    How many views will it do?
    I'm predicting 1 million. I'd be very impressed if it did more.

    Yes and Golovkin is clearly a better counterpuncher than Canelo

    Well if Jacobs would quit dicking around we would have one. 40% is too much

    Of course its too much. When Ggg learns that there is no perfect deal that's when he'll start getting the fights he NEEDS.

    It's not and imo would do about 700-800k and that's good.

    Don't think so.

    Ward Kov is bigger. More uncertainty as to the outcome, thus more exciting.

    Pac Crawford is probably bigger. More combined talent.


    That said, its a fight that Id like to see.

    Not to see who wins (pretty much a foregone conclusion), but how.

    You do know canela sparred many rounds with GGG and handed his title to him on one knee with his head down. If he had any confidence in winning he wouldnt of embarrassed himself like that.
    Canela knows and so do I he gets a brutal career ending beating.

    Canelo is bigger than the belt.

    If I was Canelo, I wouldn't fight him right now either. I'd wait till sept for the fight to be massive. Canelo needs a massive fight where he's the A-side - or the next 10 years will only be 300k ppv buy fights.

    Basic economics

    More uncertainty but the fight between Golovkin and Canelo promises fireworks.

    Tbh I'm not arsed about the magnitude of a fight. I'd love to see Linares v Zlaticanin but that isn't a huge fight neither.

    Canelo-GGG of course. Longest I'd be okay to wait is May. Boxing seriously needs this fight to happen, it's the only fight big enough to earn back the fans we lost from maypac.
    Us fans don't deserve not to see fights like this. It's a shame really.

    Yes.

    But my point was canelo isn't afraid, he's just making business moves.
