September is going to be a heavenly month for combat sports fans. However, this month also comes with its share of scheduling conflicts as two major events clash on a significant date. Such is the case with boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez’s fight and Noche UFC coinciding on the same day.
Both events are set to take place on September 14th, Mexican Independence Day. This date is of special importance to fight fans, especially those of Mexican heritage. One might think this clash would worry Alvarez. After all, splitting the audience could impact profits. But the Mexican champion seems unfazed by the competition. In a recent interview, Alvarez exuded confidence about his drawing power.
“No, [UFC numbers won’t crush my numbers]. This is different. Maybe other boxing match, maybe [the numbers would be impacted] but Canelo is different…Canelo is just different. I don’t care if the UFC is there, when Canelo fights it’s different,” said Alvarez via Million Dollaz Worth Of Game.
Canelo Alvarez, boxing’s biggest draw, is set to face undefeated Edgar Berlanga. Meanwhile, Noche UFC promises an action-packed card at the new Sphere in Las Vegas. But Alvarez firmly believes his star power transcends any potential competition. He’s not worried about the UFC event stealing his thunder.
His confidence isn’t without merit. Alvarez has consistently been a pay-per-view juggernaut. But, despite the potential for divided attention, both events are likely to draw crowds. Mexican Independence Day is a big deal in the fight world. Alvarez’s bout will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Just down the road, Noche UFC will light up the innovative Sphere venue.
