Official Thread: Canelo Alvarez-Erislandy Lara

[Kirkland Laing]

Great start to the evening although I missed the Kameda fight. Herrera deserved that. Oscar definitely making a statement with that shirt.

[Gandalf]

Why do we have to listen to Mr Dildo? It creeps me out.

[Kirkland Laing]

Purses for tonight:

Canelo Alvarez will receive $1.5million for his headlining bout against Erislandy Lara, though he can expect to earn substantially more based on the revenue generated by the PPV. While Lara will make a career high $1million, again he will get a cut of the PPV pie.

Abner Mares returns from his shocking first round knockout last August against Puerto Rican Jonathan Oquendo in a ten-round featherweight attraction. Mares purse is $400,000 while Oquendo will be paid $50,000.

Johan Perez and Mauricio Herrera meet at junior welterweight for Perez WBA “Interim” title, the champion makes $100,000, while Herrera makes $125,000.

In an interesting crossroads junior lightweight match up Juanma Lopez will make $125,000, while Mexico’s Francisco Vargas pockets $75,000.

Though the Tomoki Kameda vs. Pungluang Sor Singyu WBO bantamweight title fight isn’t part of the PPV, it will take place on Showtime Extreme. Kameda’s fee is $60,000, while the Thai challenger trousers $40,000.

Hopefully Herrera can make a couple of paydays now. He deserves better than that money after making Garcia look foolish. Also a great fight here. I wish him well. He deserves the chance to train properly and bank a little too.

You've got Oscar grinning away behind the Corona girls and you know he's thinking about them strapping it on for him later on.

Vargas gets a KO or stoppage here and it'll be exciting.

[Violent Demise]

Vargas is big for this weight. This could end early

[Maravilla2012]

Lopez is getting put out in this fight

[Gandalf]

Lopez looks like a hobbit. Quiet round, Vargas round based on breathing more.

[Spicoli]

Have to say, really like the Box Nation feed for a change of pace. Who is this calling it?

Lopez just has that look of a matter of time. Done well to reestablish last few fights but his legs tell it all

[beenKOed]

Lopez and Vargas getting right to it 1st and 2nd.
2-0 Vargas

[Gandalf]

Lopez is just too small and is ouboxed at range and when Vargas wants to engage, he lands harder. 2-0 Vargas.

[Maravilla2012]

2-0 Vargas i liked that left hook he landed on the ropes

A guy called John Rawling and the colour guy is a Welsh featherweight called Barry Jones. He fought Acelino Freitas.

[Maravilla2012]

And Lopez goes down as expected. If Vargas comes out like that again its a 4th Round KO for Vargas

[Spicoli]

Hope he invested some earnings. That man is a spent shell.
