I think that's the whole point. They're trying to compete with G. They'll lose. Canelo is already a bigger name than Chavez Jr, and Ortiz is MUCH better known to casual fans than Martinez. Canelo-Ortiz will sell more, guaranteed.
BOTH matchups are compelling though, I must say. Canelo and Martinez will be rightfully favored, but both Chavez Jr and Ortiz are very live underdogs.
:bears: agREED 100%. Junior is way overrated, even by HBO commentators, because he is their boy, but Martinez,who has faced better fighters than Junior and defeated them brutally, will have an easy time here. This is a mismatch and I will enjoy watching the masacre.
in 2 weeks time there will be many reasons why arum cant make the fight. the rimg is a square, martinez isnt a draw, the stadium wont be built in time, martinez cant speak english, rodney king is dead, people are fat.
