Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez keeps his date regardless of UFC and opponent

[TMLT87]

Boxing isn't going to move off of a UFC date, especially with a top dog on the date. No way. UFC will move.

That UFC card sure as **** isnt moving. Its going to be the first ever combat sport event at The Sphere. Historic.

Do you not remember when Canelo sat in his locker room for an extra hour while a UFC card was literally played on the big screens in the arena so his own crowd could watch Diaz/Masvidal first? they are absolutely able to cut into Canelos drawing power when they go head to head, especially if its an underwhelming fight like this.

You think they might move for Canelo-Bud or Canelo-Benavidez?

Dont think they'd actually move dates but it'd take Conor or a big Jon Jones fight for them to have a chance to outdraw those fights head to head imo.

Canelo/Berlanga though? honestly I feel like a Pereira fight would probably outdraw that at this point.

The numbers will have the say in the end.. Canelo will get his boots smoked,

Conor and Jon ain't the same no more. Jones is fighting a corpse of Stipe (all due respect, but come on) and Conor can't seem to stop partying or heal his leg.

Canelo don't want no smoke with boots.

Yeah the UFC does have a starpower issue currently for sure. They havent found a prime active star to replace Conor, Jones etc who they can rely on to fight 2-3 times a year and do big numbers vs just about anybody.

100%. There are some very good fighters, but there's no star with that x factor to draw viewers.

I remember that and, if memory serves, shortly thereafter the CEO of DAZN was fired by the Perform Group. Perform Group is the parent company of DAZN and is owned by multi-billionaire Len Blavatnik.

I hope every single person who watches it steals it. Dude needs forced to either fight Benavidez, retire, or at the very least give up the titles. He can run around and scam fake fans all he wants beltless for all I care.
