William Scull - English
Legends leave marks, but these records can be taken away by future generations and athletes. This is the case of Canelo Alvarez, although this record is on the line between the sporting and the non-sporting.
Floyd Mayweather achieved record ticket sales in his fight against Manny Pacquiao on May 2, 2015. Now, Canelo could follow in his footsteps and even surpass him, but he should count on certain
Like a sheikh! Canelo welcomed with flowers in Saudi Arabia ahead of his big fight
For starters, Alvarez would have to fight a top-tier opponent, which would attract a huge fan base and, consequently, higher ticket sales. For he would have to surpass the sale of 16,219 tickets that left a total of USD 72,198,500 million.
What other precedents are there?
Below this mark and to everyone’s surprise is Canelo and Mayweather himself when they faced each other on September 14, in 2023. At that time, they sold 16,146 tickets and collected USD 20,003,150 million. And although it seems like a big number, it is far below the one that today occupies the first place.

Could he manage to surpass this mark in his next fight?
Canelo will face William Scull on May 3. However, it is expected that this fight will not surpass this great number. Although nothing assures that Canelo can’t stay with this mark. Who should he fight to achieve it?

Week 22 Fantasy Baseball Waiver-Wire Targets: Samuel Basallo immediately leaps to top priority status
We didn't get a flood of prospect promotions this week, but we got a few notable ones and should see a few more the rest of the way. So, before we get to the top waiver-wire targets for every position ahead of Week 22, let's take a look at four big-name prospects to know who were promoted in recent days: Rookie callups to know from this weekSamuel Basallo, C, Orioles (42%) – Yet another young catcher worth getting excited about, and Basallo is, frankly, on a different level than even some of the more successful young guys like Agustin Ramirez or Drake Baldwin. That doesn't mean he'll find the immediate success they did, but Basallo just hit .270/.377/.589 with good plate discipline and excellent quality of contact metrics as a 20-year-old at Triple-A. He figures to play regularly down the stretch, […]

WATCH: Scottie Scheffler ridiculous hole out clinches BMW Championship 2025, history alongside Tiger Woods
Getty Images Like so many times before in his PGA Tour career, Scottie Scheffler delivered his best when his best was required. This time, at the 2025 BMW Championship on Sunday, it was among his most spectacular efforts yet. The world No. 1 holed out a miraculous chip-in on the 17th hole at Caves Valley Golf Club, propelling him to a two-shot win over Robert MacIntyre in the second leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs and penultimate event of the season.By clinching his fifth win of the 2025 season and 12th over the last two years on the PGA Tour, Scheffler became the first player since Tiger Woods to win 5+ tournaments in consecutive campaigns. Woods accomplished as much across five straight seasons rom 1999-2003 and again for three consecutive years from 2005-07.Scheffler began Sunday's final round three strokes back […]
