Canelo vs Jacobs

[peter0425]

Canelo = easy money 
But I understand why the judges gave it to Canelo.

If fairness to the judges and Canelo, I think the fight is not controversial enough to warrant a robbery unlike with his fights with GGG. Just what i have posted days ago that Jacobs only chance to steal the show is via knock-out but it didn't happen.

I would agree. But I think that there was no robbery because the need was not there. An unbiased jury might have given a draw. But still, a win for Canelo could be justified. You can convert a draw to a win for either of the fighters and hardly anyone would complain about it. But what happened during the fight against GGG was that the latter had clearly won the fight and the jury awarded it to Canelo. No sympathies for Jacobs. He knew that he needed a KO. And he was unable to do that.

Canelo won the fight and I agree that there is no robbery. About the clause though, it's controversial to me, I mean if you really wanted to win fair and square, why would you like your opponents to be drained? You will hear fighters saying that they don't want to hear their opponents making excuses after the fight but it seems the Canelo has given Jacobs and his team some reason and to make some noise about that clause.

Let's move on, let's give the credit to Canelo for winning.
Boxing is corrupt, there are some decision that we might not agree with, there's nothing new here. come on

Do they mentioned how much is that in dollars if converted?
I think the value is more interesting to know.

It will be difficult to calculate the total revenue, as the 1.2 million figure is for the world-wide audience and not just for the US market. And if I am not wrong, the fees vary from region to region. That said, I heard that at least in the US the fight was priced below the industry average. Normally the rates would range somewhere between $69 and $99, but DAZN was selling this one for $19.99. So I guess, they earned around $24 million from the PPV, which is less than Canelo's purse ($35 million).
