  • Hopefully this fight will be permanently postponed.
    At this point in Canelos’ career, top level competition is a must.
    I Dont think anyone wants to see this match-up.

  • See this is exactly what I’m talking about. So they put on that big lawsuit publicity stunt which made Canelo the limelight and this is the b.s fight his people follow-ups with. Oscar says he’s the “face of boxing”. I tried to defend Canelo him but I’m done. No-one wants to see this fight. Fight a Charllo Brother or someone that justifies is $300 mill contract. No wonder why so many including myself have turned to the UFC for their fight fix. Mega fight after Mega fight. As long as boxing keep F’n up I’ll continue to enjoy UFC.

  • I hope they going to purse bid. This is a 500K fight, at the most and a Friday night fight on free TV.

  • If the possible upcoming fight is for free, I will watch Canelo earn an easy tune up fight victory because I want to see how much ring rust has accumulated on him. This upcoming tune up fight BETTER NOT involve PINCHE PPV!!

    For subsequent PPV fights, Canelo BETTER fight viable opponents or else his support system will only involve fanatic Canelo fans. Canelo, you are losing your non-fanatic fans.

    After a tune up fight, step it up Canelo!!

    • No discussion about that as he surely has the bigger name AND he knocked out Yildirim easily.

  • There should be a rule in boxing: if you can’t pronounce a boxer’s name, he shouldn’t be allowed to fight. Turkish fighters, man.

  • You people are quick to hate on canelo and who he fights yet never complained when pacquiao or maywesther fought for belts they never deserved against less opponents
