I don't think Canelo's image has taken THAT much damage to get him below GGG for his opponents purses.
Canelo is a proven A side PPV star. GGG is a popular guy who's gotten enough love to get a few A side PPV fights that did poorly & in his biggest PPV vs Canelo obviously he was he B side.
So sh^t is on the slide with Canelo, but not THAT f#cking badly is sh^t sliding lol.

I doubt Oscar puts BJS in front of Clenelo at any point, after scraping past GG by the width of a hair I don’t see them put him in with the like of anyone as skilled as Saunders any time soon, if ever.

It's actually a lot closer than people think. BJS is not a huge name in the UK. He barely fought in Wembley, usually fighting in smaller arenas on smaller cards. His popularity is much, much closer to Liam Smith than it is Amir Khan.
Here's a google trends comparison of the 3 Brits:
In comparison, here's what happens when you add Golovkin and Canelo on top of them:
The point is that Canelo-BJS in Vegas sells the same 250-300k PPVs that he sold against Liam Smith. On the other hand, Golovkin has previous exposure to the UK audience vs. Brook. That was his introduction to the UK. Since then, he was part of a huge PPV event. He's more popular now. If they put Golovkin in Wembley, that **** will sell out in less than a week.
Actually this trends graph is better at making the point. In Aug-Sep of 2016, we had Canelo-Smith and Brook-Golovkin. Their internet popularity was nearly identical.

Is this a joke? Canelo gets around 700k ppv buys for someone like Khan or JCC. Compared to Mr. 97k.
Who would McGregor make more against: a rematch with Floyd or a fight with Malignaggi???
This isn't even a question. It is an attempt to rationalize g's cowardice. Also, g walked away from a unification bout with BSJ before, so I don't see what has changed.
Canelo is the biggest cash cow in boxing today. Canelo sparring would probably get more ppv buys than g would for a real match. Canelo may be a cheater and a diva, but that does not have anything to do with how many people will pay to see him fight. For crying out loud, JCC Jr. had all his fights on ppv before Canelo took over as the best current boxer from Mexico. I despise Canelo, but acting like he isn't a draw does not make it true.
Canelo will fight on the September Mexican Independence day weekend, because no one will dare compete for ppv buys with Canelo. G could announce he is fighting another Vanes, or another Rubio, or another Wade, or another Monroe Jr. and if Canelo announced he is having a sparring session on ppv for the same time, g would immediately reschedule. That is how close these two are in terms of how much money their fights generate.

The meaningful numbers is ppv buys. Canelo gets over 700k for Khan, and gets an automatic 300k regardless of his opponent. g has had one ppv fight that didn't involve Canelo and got a solid 97k.
Canelo got 300k for freaking Liam Smith. Which your chart and post say that interest in g-Brook was close to the same. The fact remains, Canelo is a ppv fighter and g is not. If g would fight professional boxers most fights, he could be a ppv fighter. But he never has and never will, g lacks the cahones to dare to be great. And that is why everyone would make more against Canelo.
It is not half as close as you imagine. Liam Smith gets 300k and Khan gets 700k against Canelo. And regardless of any ******ed charts, the fact remains those are hundreds of thousands of people paying to watch Canelo. That g can generate almost as much interest when his fights are free, only shows the huge disparity between the two. Against g, the fight is on regular hbo. Against Canelo and it is on ppv and guaranteed to do at least 300k.
