Followers Aren’t Bought
Followers haven’t been pushing for the celebrity Canelo to struggle Munguia, so it’s attention-grabbing that the organizers are selecting to cost the occasion by way of the roof is dangerous information as a result of it’s a low-level struggle.
It’s a bet on the occasion organizers to cost practically $100 for what many followers view as a cherry-pick on Canelo’s half. Munguia has an impressive-look document, however his resume is simply too weak for fence-sitters to be motivated to buy the occasion.
Followers on social media haven’t been very excited concerning the Canelo-Munguia struggle, and that’s a foul signal.
In addition to the struggle not being one which followers have been asking for, neither of those guys is working exhausting advertising and marketing the struggle on social media. It seems that the organizers are assuming that followers will might be keen to pay to see this occasion as a result of Canelo is concerned, however they may very well be incorrect.
It’s not that it’s a mismatch. Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs) does have an opportunity on this struggle, however the actual downside is he’s by no means fought anybody of high quality to point whether or not he can beat even this long-in-the-tooth model of Canelo.
Munguia’s finest wins have come towards fighters like Gary O’Sullivan, Gabriel Rosado, John Ryder, and Sergiy Derevyanchenko. He didn’t look overly spectacular in any of these fighters.
For the value that the occasion goes for, Munguia ought to have been vetted as being worthy of a struggle towards Canelo, and he’s not achieved that. If he had fought David Benavidez, David Morrell, Caleb Plant, and Christian Mbilli and overwhelmed them, followers wouldn’t be squawking concerning the $90 price ticket.
