Okay, so I needed to figure out where the Canelo vs Berlanga fight was showing. It’s always a bit of a runaround with these big boxing matches, never straightforward.
My First Steps
First thing I did, naturally, was just a quick check of the usual suspects. You know, the big sports networks you already have on cable. Flipped through the guide, glanced at their websites. Didn’t see it listed on the main channels like ESPN or Fox Sports. That’s usually the case for these massive fights, they aren’t just handed out on basic cable.
Digging Online
Alright, so the regular channels were a no-go. Next step, I went online. Just opened up my browser and typed in something simple like “Canelo Berlanga fight channel”. You get a flood of results, mostly news articles talking about the fight, predictions, weigh-ins, all that stuff. Had to sift through that.
I started noticing a couple of names popping up repeatedly in the search results and articles:
- DAZN
This usually means it’s not on a traditional channel number you just tune into.
Figuring Out the PPV Situation
Saw DAZN mentioned everywhere alongside Canelo. That seemed like the main place. It became clear pretty fast this was a Pay-Per-View event. You don’t just get it with a standard subscription most times, even if you already have DAZN. You have to specifically buy the fight itself.
Then there was . That’s another platform specifically for buying these kinds of events directly online. So, another option to stream it after paying.
Sometimes, your regular cable provider (like Comcast/Xfinity, Spectrum, etc.) also offers the Pay-Per-View. You’d have to go into their specific PPV menu on your TV box or maybe their website and order it there. This wasn’t immediately obvious from the initial search, more something you know from past experience with big fights.
The Conclusion
So, after poking around for a bit, the answer wasn’t a simple channel number. The main broadcaster carrying the event was DAZN, but as a specific Pay-Per-View purchase. You could also likely buy and stream it directly from . And, as a third possibility, it might have been available to order directly through your existing cable or satellite TV provider’s Pay-Per-View service. Had to pick one of those routes and actually purchase the event to watch it. No free ride on this one, which is pretty standard for Canelo’s fights.
