Oscar was on the MMA broadcast on Fox Sports 1 this weekend pitching his fights this week and the Canelo vs Lara fight.
I've seen ads for the Canelo vs Lara
fight all over the place. I'm not saying you are wrong, I just haven't noticed a lack of ads myself.

Me too. I've been excited about this one from the minute I read it had been made. It's getting closer!

Re: Canelo-Lara extremely under marketed
Maybe it has to do with the timing of schaeffer's departure. I would have thought Golden Boy was enough of an empire that whoever's baby this promotion was, would have had the ability to keep on keeping on.
Also keep in mind that the American public might not be on this fight because its two fighters that don't speak the English language very well, if at all. Casual fans show up to a floyd fight even if they hate him for the same reason Americans follow the kardashians. its the spectacle of it.
There's nothing for a large percentage of them to watch in the lead up if they cant understand anything that's being said. Neither of these guys are as brash or deliberately controversial as floyd is, so you dont even have that mayorga d0uche like spontaneity. Even though its an intriguing fight. If Angulo can catch lara and drop him.. then I think Canelo can also. However, i think there's also a chance that Lara could duplicate floyd's performance if he consistently ups his punch output and remains defensively aware. (He'd probably still get robbed of the decision though)
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
