Saul Alvarez next fight not PPV

[jon09]

CBS should jump all over this right now and place him on free TV. I think making 154 is becoming difficult for him and a warm up fight at 160 against whoever would bring ratings. Or go after the winner of the IBF 154 fight between K9 and Molina. I would steer him away from Kirkland.

Good to hear there might finally be a reasonable card on regular HBO, but I don't view Kirkland as that dangerous if he's the opponent. Can't knock the fight on paper, but it's a showcase for Alvarez imo, not the kind of guy he's going to struggle with.

Good to hear. Back in the day Showtime said they would leave Canello on regular Showtime to satisfy there pay tv subscribers. We saw how that worked out. I would like to see each network leave a couple elite fighters on the standard pay tv networks so I don't feel like I'm getting it up the ass every time I pay my bill. I like Kirkland but I can't stand his trainer. Anyway, I don't know if KIrkland can stay dedicated during training to take on Saul even though he only fight for 1.2 minutes around.
