Funny how no one seems to be concerned about the real fight happening next weekend.

GGG appears legit but he fought a lot no names so it's hard to tell. At 27, Canelo still managed to basically fight everyone and he is a well rounded boxer too. Canelo will hit GGG so let's see if he can take what he gives out. This should be a good fight. I give a slight edge to GGG.

this fight has potential to reach Hagler vs. Hearns territory. I think GGG will win by K.O. though.

GGG is an absolute monster.. can't believe the public even fell for the money v Connor fight when this is looming on the horizon.

GGG and Canelo can't sell a fight to save their lives. They also suffer from a language barrier. Conor and Floyd are the opposite. They are very charismatic in their own way, know how to sell and hype a fight. Not sure how are the promoters in the GGG vs Canelo fight but DAMN they need to hire someone that can teach them how to promote a fight. They need to do Vlogs for each figher, Boxing 24/7 documentaries, etc. The under-card is unknown to me. That is the downside of boxing PPV. It's only the main event that is heavily promoted. In the UFC, at least you have 2-3 fights in the PPV that are quite good. Also, the under-card might have a fan favorite.

Bells and whistles shouldn't be needed to sell a good fight. GGG speaks multiple languages including English, I believe. Not sure about Canelo. I like that this fight isn't being turned into a circus.

Who said anything about turning the fight into a circus? You need to promote a fight in order to get good PPV buys, asses on seats, etc. Fight Vlogs like the Embedded UFC series, UFC Countdown documentary, HBO 24/7 documentaries are good ways for the audience to get to know the fighters, see them getting ready, see their personal side, etc.

I cant see Canelo lasting full distance with Golovkin . He is up there to be hit , has no movement , just stands stiff . I think his style fits Golovkin perfectly . Golovkin has iron jaw , i didnt see him hurt in any of his bouts . This fight gotta end in only one way . The question is not who is gonna win that fight , but when Golovkin knocks out Canelo .
