Love it. That fights like this are even seriously being talked about makes me very happy for this sport. Both of these guys would be told to protect their "0" at all costs a couple years ago. Now, there is an urgency to prove that they are worthy of getting on a top event to get a slice of that Saudi money. So, we are seeing these kind of fights. Obviously, this is nowhere near signed and both could go in other directions. But with Canelo taking the big dollar deal with the Crown Prince of the Squared Circle (and thank goodness, I was really worried for Canelo's financial future as the poor guy was living payday to payday) 168 as a division needs the approval of the Prince for what happens next. Both these guys have a ton to gain by doing this fight.
