Sometimes the best promotion has nothing to do with \u201csubstance\u201d and is more about just keeping the fans talking.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The first fight needed to \u201cmarinate\u201d for about 2 years according to Oscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy Promotions. We we\u2019re forced to watch Canelo in a fight with Amir Khan, which we all knew would end in a knock out. Then a fight with Liam Smith, which even actor Liam Neeson would have trouble convincing us that anyone really wanted to see that event take place. Then one final delay for good measure, when they got Julio Chavez, JR. to put down his dirty urine and volunteer do his best impression of a punching bag or a pi\u00f1ata to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.<\/p>\n<p>After all this build up we were sure to see the \u201cFight of the Century\u201d, or at least fight of the decade, maybe fight of the year? Well, I guess we settled for not as much of a letdown as Mayweather, JR. Vs Pacquiao. In all honesty, I actually enjoyed this fight outside of the disappointing scorecards. Not quite the war we expected. Certainly, wasn\u2019t Gatti\/Ward, or Ali\/Frazier, or even Valdez\/Quigg for that matter. Although I enjoyed the fight and was glued to the TV for every punch, the mainstream thought process was not exactly enthusiastic about the overall action that took place. Therefore, promoting this rematch could be downright painstakingly boring, without a good controversy.<\/p>\n<p>Bring in the Clenbuterol! Bring in the contaminated meat and let\u2019s have a real beef! I mean what else would we talk about? We can stir up some more fake racial outrage by Abel Sanchez, because America doesn\u2019t have enough of that. We can talk about \u201cGGG\u201d being more aggressive and putting in his body work. We can talk about how much Canelo has learned from his first fight and how he will fight Mexican style this time and go for the knock out. We can talk about all of that and still lose interest in less time then it took Mayweather, JR. to convince MMA fans that McGregor had a real chance in the ring.<\/p>\n<p>So, a good controversy is just what the doctor ordered, or maybe the trainer, or someone seems to have ordered something allegedly. The Canelo fans will double down on contaminated beef, the \u201cGGG\u201d fans will have more of a reason to dislike Canelo and call him a cheat. Like everything in the media and social media, most facts will get pushed aside for a good story where you get to push your own narrative and egos and stubbornness will prevail for those that hold ultimate power. We will probably not get a clear resolution to what is alleged, only furthering the divide which is always good for business. So, fight away, that\u2019s what it\u2019s all about anyway.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cNI0vGqYC0Q?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>[si-contact-form form=&#8217;2&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Bradley \u201cThe Bulldog\u201d Johnson Canelo Alvarez, Gennady \u201cGGG\u201d Golovkin, Golden Boy Promotions, Las Vegas and everybody making any money off this super-fight should thank their lucky stars for a (possibly) contaminated urine produced by Saul \u201cCanelo\u201d Alvarez, because at least we are talking about the fight!
