Mr. Sinister Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Wouldn't shock me. It's the Floyd effect, plus UFC faithfuls who probably wanted to see McGregor win. And as always, people with money who heard this "Big fight" was happening Edited August 31, 2017 by Mr. Sinister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 After reading what Dave Meltzer said, if it did do 6.5M buys, that's almost certainly worldwide, not U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spjunkies Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 If I just made $120 million there is no chance I'd ever enter a scenario again where some psycho wants to rip my arm/leg out of my socket and trying to scramble my brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM72 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 May/McGreggor did a $55.4M live gate. That's well short of the record $72M of May/Pac. Still waiting on the official PPV numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Been spending most of the week reviewing fight footage of Canelo and GGG in order for the big fight in 10 days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 (edited) Canelo +170 is almost too good to pass up. You never see a guy that good getting almost 2:1 odds. Edit: oops, he's down to +135. That I can pass up. Edited September 6, 2017 by TryTheBeal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Omar Epps is being a prisoner of the moment. Golovkin is going to knock Canelo out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Before the Jacobs fight, i would have GGG as an overwhelming favorite, but i think that fight showed some holes Canelo should be able to exploit Not sure who i'm picking yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 My prediction is Alvarez is going to look heavy and slow and get tired and Golovkin knocks him out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 From what I've seen, Canelo definitely has a skills advantage. I keep going back and fourth on this one. Right now, I'm favoriting Canelo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksun247 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Canelo is gonna check GGG's chin. GGG is gonna eat hooks and uppercuts and he gets stopped. Canelo is a counterpuncher against a come forward boxer in GGG. GGG goes to sleep in this one. This is gonna be a war. If it goes to the scorecards, expect some trickery.

ksun247 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 That was a good boxing card. All three fights had good action. Chocolatito was getting lit up before the KO. SSR came to fight and made sure there was no doubt about their first fight. He was complaining about headbutts, but SSR was tagging him. Let's see a unification with Inoue, Estrada can wait. Chocolatito will be back. SSR just had his number. Finally, we got to see Inoue fight over here. Heard a lot of hype about him and he brought the goods. Michael Buffer with the screw up announcing the winner. It happens, but that was funny mixing the first & last names for the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 GGG is undeniably talented but the question is whether he can beat someone that is pretty damn good. He was being fed mediocrity like Dominic Ward and dominated them. Canelo at least has attempted to challenge himself, only loss was to Mayweather. Should be interesting but I have Canelo winning this one late 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have the size, reach, power or feet that Jacobs does. Very confident GGG wins this. Canelo doesn't have the feet to stay out of harms way imo. Late stoppage win for Golovkin.

Jacobs' handspeed gave GGG some problems. Canelo's hands are not as fast, but quick enough to do some damage. He's also a better counter puncher than Jacobs, GGG will give him opportunities to land GGG has showed some of his age his last couple of fights. He's still incredibly dangerous, but he's not infallible like he was just a couple of years ago. Waiting for the fight may ultimately be Canelo's best strategy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still incredibly dangerous, but he's not infallible like he was just a couple of years ago. Waiting for the fight may ultimately be Canelo's best strategy I think it's a case of GGG's recent fights being ultra deceiving. Kell Brook and Danny Jacobs have rotted the minds of people in relation to this fight imo. Canelo brings a completely different skill set to the table. He won't win rounds from the outside. He's going to have to get into the pocket and GGG is going to stuff him with a jab every single time. Just like he did to Lemieux. Canelo has a terrible time with fighters with an accurate jab like Trout, Lara and Mayweather. He has a hard time getting past it and Golovkin's jab is the best he's ever faced. The Jacobs that fought GGG probably beats Canelo and all imo. Canelo is coming off wins against the undersized Khan and Liam Smith as well as the corpse of Chavez. Obviously he was going to look good in those fights. They're fooling a lot of people though because fighting GGG is a different story altogether. I think GGG fights a very methodical fight, for the first six rounds or so anyway. Cuts the ring off and lets Canelo's slow feet do a lot of work before he eventually wears Canelo down and takes him late. When Canelo does his usual thing of tiring late on and sitting against the ropes GGG will put it on him good and proper. If Liam Smith can push Canelo up against the ropes and land on him I can't wait to see GGG do the same. Only difference is Canelo will get stopped taking those big shots by GGG. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 You make some very good points. I actually though Canelo lost to Trout and Lara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
