卡内洛·阿尔瓦雷斯(Canelo Alvarez)的下一场比赛可能在AT&T体育场举行,这将是一次全球试验


随着美国谨慎地(或不谨慎地)尝试重新开放,体育推广者们将目光投向了更大的场馆、更多的观众和更丰厚的收入。
具体来说,体育界的每个人都希望AT&T体育场恢复30%以上的容量。
墨西哥的超级中量级拳击手卡内洛·阿尔瓦雷斯将德州的比赛作为首要任务。
阿尔瓦雷斯将于5月8日星期六迎战比利·乔·桑德斯,也就是五月五日节的第三天。据了解谈判情况的人士透露,阿灵顿将牵头举办一场统一WBC、WBA、WBO和Ring杂志世界冠军腰带的比赛。
撇开拳击不讲,在临近圣诞节的阿灵顿举行的一场卡内洛拳击赛可以作为一场全球性的实验。
我们准备好迎接一场五万人涌进会场的活动了吗?
美国电话电报公司体育场(AT&T Stadium)为“五月五日Cinco de Mayo周末”(Cinco de Mayo weekend)举行的一场卡内罗(Canelo)比赛,可能会创下自一年前的这个时候,新冠肺炎疫情开始关闭以来,世界上观看比赛人数最多的体育赛事。
其他可能举办这场比赛的地点包括拉斯维加斯和休斯顿,但在这两个城市中,没有一个可能的场馆能容纳这么多的人。
本周,德州州长格雷格·阿博特(Greg Abbott)废除了所有州规定的口罩协议,并表示允许企业以100%的产能开业,阿灵顿将成为举办最大规模活动的领导者。
达拉斯牛仔队的老板杰里·琼斯肯定会在他的宫殿里举办一场盛大的活动。如果有哪个拳手能在大场地上表演,那就是卡内洛。
随着小弗洛伊德·梅威瑟的退役,卡内洛·阿尔瓦雷斯可以说是拳击界最伟大的名字。他有大批来自家乡墨西哥的忠实粉丝追随他参加比赛,他在拳击界堪比“感恩而死”乐队(Grateful Dead)。
因此,他试图在德州抗争,以迎合他的粉丝。
2016年,他在AT&T体育场的5万多名球迷面前击倒了利亚姆·史密斯。2015年,卡内罗在休斯顿美汁源公园的3万多人面前击倒了詹姆斯·柯克兰(James Kirkland)。
卡内罗在2月27日的最后一场比赛中轻松战胜了土耳其的阿夫尼·耶尔德勒姆。
AT&T体育场是疫情爆发以来为数不多的几个为球迷举办拳击比赛的场馆之一。去年12月,德索托的埃罗尔·斯宾塞(Errol Spence)在AT&T体育场(AT&T Stadium)击败了丹尼·加西亚(Danny Garcia)。
活动策划者估计,这场比赛吸引了1.6万人,远低于斯宾思这种水平的拳击手通常能吸引到的水平,尤其是在他的家乡走上拳台的时候。
卡内洛将于5月在粉丝面前比赛。现在的问题是在哪里。
美国电话电报公司(AT&T)体育场。德州阿灵顿。企业经营水平达到100%。它符合所有的标准。你可以检查所有的箱子。
如果这真的发生了,它的国际影响将远远超出几个冠军腰带的统一。
As America cautiously, or not cautiously, tries to re-open, sports promoters eye a return to bigger arenas, bigger crowds, and bigger paydays.
Specifically, everyone in sports wants AT&T Stadium back in play at more than 30 percent capacity.
And super middleweight boxer Canelo Alvarez of Mexico has made fighting in Texas a priority.
Alvarez is scheduled to fight Billy Joe Saunders on Saturday, May 8, three days after Cinco de Mayo. According to people familiar with the negotiations, Arlington is in the lead to host a fight that would unify the WBC, WBA, WBO and Ring Magazine World title belts.
Setting the boxing aside, a Canelo fight in Arlington so close to the holiday would serve as a global experiment.
Are we ready for an event where 50,000 people try to pour into a venue?
A Canelo fight at AT&T Stadium over “Cinco de Mayo weekend” would have the potential to post the biggest attendance figure at a sporting event in the world since the COVID closures began this time one year ago.
Other potential locations for the bout include Las Vegas and Houston, but none of the likely venues in those cities could hold the number of people that AT&T Stadium could.
With Texas Gov. Greg Abbott this week repealing all state mask-mandate protocols, and saying businesses are allowed to open at 100 percent capacity, Arlington would be the leader to host the biggest events.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones would most certainly embrace a big event back at his palace. And if any single boxer can fill a large venue, it’s Canelo.
With the retirement of Floyd Mayweather Jr., Canelo Alvarez is arguably the biggest name in boxing. With legions of loyal fans from his native Mexico following him to his fights, he’s the boxing equivalent of The Grateful Dead.
As such, he’s tried to fight in Texas to accommodate his fans.
He knocked out Liam Smith at AT&T Stadium in 2016 in front of more than 50,000 fans. Canelo knocked out James Kirkland in front of more than 30,000 at Minute Maid Park in Houston in 2015.
Canelo easily won his last fight, on Feb. 27, against Turkey’s Avni Yildirim in Miami.
AT&T Stadium was one of the few venues to host boxing matches with fans since the pandemic struck. Errol Spence of DeSoto defeated Danny Garcia at AT&T Stadium in December.
Event planners estimate the event drew 16,000, well under the mark a boxer of Spence’s caliber would typically draw, especially when stepping in the ring in his hometown.
Canelo will fight, in May, in front of fans. The question now is where.
AT&T Stadium. Arlington, Texas. Businesses operating at 100 percent. It fits all the criteria. You can check all the boxes.
If it happens, it will have international implications far beyond the unification of a few title belts.
