Hype Zero a Riyadh: Canelo Alvarez vs. William Scull PPV struggles to capture fanatics interest

The struggle poorly promoted between Canelo Alvarez and William Scull is happening this Saturday, May 3, and there are zero buzzers for their event Dazn PPV In the Riyadh enclosure, Saudi Arabia.

Marketing Failure

The promoters have taken little effort to create interests between fans for this attack, which is priced at $ 59.99 in view per view. Fans do not know who is the Super Middleweight Ibf Scull champion (23-0.9 kos) because he has never defeated any remarkable opposition during his career.

The way Cuban Scull, 32, won the belt with a controversial 12 -round decision last October against Vladimir Shishkin, causes Hardcore Boxing Fans to consider him as a false belt holder.

The last six scull opponents

– Vladimir Shishkin
– Sean Hemphill
– Cristian Fabian Rios
– Abel Nicolas Adriel
– Evgeny Shvedenko
– Denb Diaz

For Canelo, 34, this struggle is to allow him to recover his IBF 168-LB title, which resigned that he could make an easy fight against money against the old number 1 of Edgar Berlanga, ranked for the WBA, on November 14, last year. Instead of defending his mandatory scull ordered by IBF, Canelo was deactivated to be able to assume Berlanga in a mismatch.

Artificial of indisputable

The problem is with The four belt system. It makes Canelo need a fight against Scull against Scull to recover his IBF title in another shameless struggle. That is everything by artifice Thus, Alvarez can be the indisputable champion of 168 pounds when he faces Terence Crawford in October in the “Big Fight” of Turki AlralShikh in Las Vegas.

Part of the commercialization of the Canelo-Crawford struggle will focus on whether Crawford can capture his third indisputable divisional championship. It is all to create more interest in the circus struggle between Alvarez and Bud, which has been coming since 154 to challenge it without any experience in 168. It is completely unfair to the contestants of Super Middleweight.

Alvarez is a favorite from 30 to 1 against Scull, demonstrating that this struggle is not even competitive remotely. For fans who saw Scull’s latest fight against Vladimir Shishkin, it is not uncommon for Canelo to be a great favorite. Scull seemed terrible.

What the promotion needs is for Crawford to leave the carpentry this week and begin to talk about his struggle with Canelo to get fans to wait in October. If Bud Crawford can get people anticipating this contest, they will be more motivated to focus on Saturday’s crash against Scull.

I doubt that Crawford helps to help -because fights are not being promoted, which is one of the reasons why it has not been popularized. She is only lucky that Turki likes. If it weren’t for this, Crawford would still be 154, treating young sharks like Bakhram Murtazaliev and Vergil Ortiz Jr.
