LAS VEGAS, NEVADA (April 25, 2024) — PPV.COM, which does not require a subscription, returns to the ring when it live streams to boxing fans, in the U.S. and Canada, an action-packed Cinco de Mayo weekend fistic fiesta, featuring the highly anticipated 12-round World Super Middleweight Championship battle between defending undisputed world champion Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez (60-2-2, 39 KOs), from Guadalajara, México, and the undefeated rising star Jaime Munguía (43-0, 34 KOs), from Tijuana, México, Saturday, May 4, beginning at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT. Canelo vs. Munguía is the first four-belt undisputed title fight between Mexican combatants, harkening back to the great México vs. México matchups of the past including classics such as Erik Morales vs. Marco Antonio Barrera, Carlos Zárate vs. Alfonso Zamora, and Rafael Marquez vs. Israel Vazquez. The Canelo-Munguía world championship event will emanate live from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Priced at $89.99, it can be ordered by clicking here: PPV.COM: Canelo vs. Munguia.
“Despite the clear identity logic of this — Mexican puncher-boxer vs. Mexican master boxer-puncher — Canelo, for quite a while, projected disinterest. Now that Munguia has boosted his profile with a couple of recent notable wins, Canelo is interested. Canelo’s proven chin makes him a solid favorite, but as last Saturday night demonstrated, boxing is still the theater of the unexpected,” said Hall of Fame broadcaster Jim Lampley, who will be co-hosting the exclusive viewer chat, in real time, during the PPV.COM Canelo-Munguía world championship event HD live stream.
Joining Lampley on the live viewer chat will be award-winning journalist Lance Pugmire, and “Inside Boxing Live” podcast hosts Dan Canobbio and former WBO junior welterweight world champion Chris Algieri. They will also be providing exclusive fight week commentary and reports from Las Vegas for PPV.COM‘s website and social platforms.
Canobbioand Algieri have moved their popular Inside Boxing Livepodcast to PPV.COM, where they produce two fresh episodes weekly, provide onsite coverage during major pay-per-view fight weeks, host their own weekly live chat every Wednesday at 3 p.m. ET, and join fight night live viewer chats.
