@Dave1. No, Oscar dela Hoya only said something good about Munguia and the sportsnews media hyped it for your clicks heheheh.
No, Oscar has been hyping Munguia since he got him under contract. And we all know that Oscar is good at hyping his fighters. And so with that, his wound with Canelo leaving him is still fresh and he wanted a story line that the young Munguia will be the next Mexican star and will beat Canelo.
Well we can say that the media also hype him, maybe it's because of the youth of Jaime or his personality that is similar to Oscar. Vibrant and young and boxing media love that kind of personality to say the least.
The media hypes him because he won by technical knock out vs. the fighter that went to the decision vs. Canelo. They are certainly doing this for your clicks hehe.
@Baofeng. What fight would make more money, if Munguia fights Canelo or if Charlo fights Canelo?
Depends on the location, if it will be in Mexico, then Munguia vs Canelo might be huge. Or if it is wherein there are a lot of Mexicans like in San Antonio or Munguia's home town of Phoenix, then it will be a lot of money as well.
He will be fighting a Charlo that has been out for almost a 2 years because of mental health, and then a career middle weight fighter.
So it's going to be a hard sell, but then again when he fought Jermell, a 154 lbs it did make good money, 650,000-700,000 pay per view buys. So still Canelo is the cash cow.
It will certainly sell all of the tickets in Mexico, however, this fight is worldwide. Will it sell much payperview subscriptions? Also, will it sell more subscriptions than the revenge storyine of Canelo vs. Jermall Charlo? The team of Canelo will certainly accept the proposal where he can earn a bigger purse.
