"The announced sell-out crowd of 20,312 on fight night was a tribute to Canelo's drawing power"

i have to hand it to his mexican american fans, they buy his ppv's in droves, show up to his fights & make him rich, maybe the best boxing fans on the planet??

The thing is Mexico is not great at others sports only in boxing because it has weight class to even out the playing field. Similar to Japan in the lower weight classes. Pretty much is the only sport that brings victory to Mexicans world wide. So Mexican either watch Soccer or Boxing unlike in the states which you can be a fan of more sports.

Now Mexico has been doing good in Formula one.

Crawford was confused for Kendrick Lamar. It's funny cause Kendrick says in his song he is Terence Crawford.

[Hands of Stone]

Crawford is desperately trying to cash out. Even this version of Canelo will still be heavily favored against him and all we are going to hear is the same song of how he dared to be great but came up short. Fundora, Tsyzu, Ortiz even Ennis moving up will all be available at his Feb target, those are great fights.

GTFO....The downfall of boxing isn't because of one guy overspending on the phenomenal fights we all want to see, nor is it because he doesn't want to work with people that don't want to work with him.

If Tom was truly interested in writing about the downfall of boxing, look no further than the alliance between the networks, promoters, managers and their facilitators that issue championship belts for extortion money.

I never thought I would say this but Mr Hauser, you're full of shyt!

The current version of Boxing is corrupt with a hand full of guys at the top making millions at the expense of everyone else. If the sport wasn't so fu<king distorted the best would be champion and the best of the best would unify, but today, in the current environment.....that's never going to happen.

Sorry but the downfall of boxing isn't because of one guy overspending on phenomenal fights we all want to see.

"There have been suggestions that offending journalists might be denied credentials for future Riyadh Season fight cards" and THAT' is what this is all about!

Canelo denied Marquez, Morales and Barrera because they offended him and not a word because Mr Hauser kisses Canelo's ring. I hope it's worth it because If anyone deserves to have their credentials denied for an empty hit piece...... you're reading it.

its a pity wilder is so crap now

there could have been a great double act

turki & twerky

Hauser one of the last and best boxing writers in the world. unbiased and unafraid to expose any of these players. Turkey Time!

Expose what? That Turki Alalshikh is putting on free fights...fights that are 100% more competitive then Canelo vs cherry pick?

Or maybe you mean the dastardly deeds of Saudi Arabia because the 250,000 dead Iraq civilians see it differently and they'd like to have a word with Mr Hauser about that.

Canelo Berlanga was a 100% cash out. The only problem is that Canelo won't finish cashing out until fans go broke. But not to worry, Bivol vs Bertbeiv is a far, far better fight that everyone actually wants to see..... and it's FREE!.

I have no problem with Turki giving Crawford a huge pay day to fight Canelo, if Turki and Canelo want that.

But f.uck away with idea how great fight it is. It is a mismatch and Crawford will get a big beating.
