Canelo vs any bum he decides to extend his charade against next?!?!? THOSE are PPV worthy fights today? What a joke.
Think all of those were ppv also or close circuit with Hagler-Hearns. Huge difference compared to Canelo's traveling farce is most if not all were respected as competitive fights prior to the opening bell. They've just turned it into a feeding troff.
True but ppv should be the exception not the rule and now bad fights are classed as ppv because of the greed which will kill the sport.
