The Canelo Lore: Why Bar and Restaurant Owners Should Tap into the Canelo Craze

When Canelo Álvarez steps into the ring, it’s not just a fight—it’s a spectacle. As the only Mexican boxer to become an undisputed champion, Canelo is a global icon and one of boxing’s top draws. With a record of 62-2-2 and 39 knockouts, he’s proven himself time and time again as the pound-for-pound king. He’s claimed titles in four weight classes—super middleweight, junior middleweight, middleweight, and light heavyweight—and currently holds the WBC, WBA, and WBO super middleweight belts.

Why Canelo = Revenue

Canelo isn’t just a boxing superstar, he’s a draw for sports fans of all kinds. Whether it’s his Mexican pride, his pound-for-pound dominance, or the sheer excitement of watching him in the ring, fans show up for Canelo. And if you’re a bar or restaurant owner, that energy can mean serious business. 

You’d think a legacy like that signals the final rounds—but not for Canelo. He’s publicly stated he has seven more years left in the ring, meaning plenty more opportunities for fans, and bar owners, to get in on the action.

At Joe Hand Promotions, we know the ‘Canelo Craze’ is real. Every time he fights, we see bars and restaurants packed, drinks flowing, and fans returning again and again. It’s not just great boxing, it’s great business.

 

OnTap Numbers Don’t Lie

Don’t just take our word for it—Canelo’s last fight against Berlanga last September told the story loud and clear. We tracked the data through the OnTap Sports platform, and the results were impossible to ignore:

  • 494,000+ impressions during fight week — fans actively searching for where to watch
