The fight was on again and off again as negotiations ran hot and then cold. The fight was originally projected for September 18th in Vegas but that date went by the wayside as it looked as those Canelo had set his next fight against Dmitry Bivol. But Plant came back into the picture.
Payout Perspective:
This will be one of the biggest fight in boxing in years as Canelo is the sport’s top star right now and Plant presents the most formidable opponent for him. The delay of the fight from September to November shall help with marketing for the fight as it should get a lot of promotion during College Football and NFL football games this year. As far as location, the fight will most likely land in Cowboys Stadium or in the alternative Las Vegas.
UPDATED: Didn’t look at the Canelo post closely but it looks like the fight is set for Vegas.
