I don't even know about the money thing. Are casuals excited about this x3 against GGG? It's going to be a strong PPV?
Then again, it's not like anyone outside of NYC/Texas knows Charlo...who hasn't fought a name (a name with under 9 syllables) in 6 years and is coming off exciting wins against...someone named Juan Macias Montiel (a UD lol) and Dennis Hogan and Bryan Adams.
Fight *neither* of these dudes.
GGG is still a bigger draw than anyone else at 168 or 160. It’s also an easier fight to sell and promote to the general public. That’s easy guaranteed money for Canelo.
I have heard a lot of even just moderate boxing fans bawk at it. And EVERY hardcore fan. *Everyone* who knows boxing hates this. I've seen some big names in the media say they wouldn't even bother watching it (like Shawn Porter).
If you lose every serious boxing fan, a significant number of casuals will follow. This isn't a Jake Paul fight where casuals might independently get into it because of personalities. These are two unbelievably boring dudes (out of the ring) and actual boxing fans do not want to see fight again. I don't think it will do numbers.
A fight against Benevidez would be bigger. Every PPV buyer, hardcore to casual, would get hyped for that. The violence of it would be nuts. Their combined highlights are a hellscape of dudes getting **** crushed.
lol casuals and hardcore boxing fans will watch this all the same. I’ve heard that **** about so many fights in the past. This fight is going to sell and I’d put money on how confident I am about that. People love to complain, but they end up watching dog **** anyway.
Also, for the record I do not want to see a third fight. I’d rather see Canelo vs Charlo or Benevidez. But to even suggest that either would outsell GGG is a biased POV based off one’s personal feelings. GGG is a proven attraction. Benevidez and Charlo do not have that name recognition outside of the boxing community. Sure fans like you and I know who these fighters are, but the general public really doesn’t. Neither had the HBO machine marketing them either, which GGG benefited from earlier in his career. Charlo should be a bigger name but PBC and Showtime’s machine is not as effective as HBO.
