Canelo Alvarez-Gennady Golovkin Rematch Will Play In Over 450 Movie Theaters

If you planned on watching the Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin rematch but prefer not to pay $84.99 to do so on pay-per-view, you can now go for the affordable movie theater option.

Alvarez and Golovkin will face each other in a highly-anticipated middleweight title rematch on Sept. 15 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. With all that has happened since their first meeting ended in a controversial draw last September, the sequel promises to be even better than what many believe was 2017's fight of the year.

But that comes at an (increased) price. Last year, the pay-per-view for Alvarez vs. Golovkin cost $69.99 (Standard) and $79.99 (HD). This year, however, the pay-per-view will cost $84.99.

Of course, this is one of the biggest fights in boxing with 1.3 million pay-per-view buys last year, as well as the third biggest gate in boxing history, and the die-hard fans certainly won't mind the price increase.

However, if one is looking for a cheaper option, it was recently announced that the rematch will be played in over 450 theaters across the United States. Golden Boy Promotions and Fathom Events announced it together, with the two companies having worked in the past in distributing Alvarez's fights. The ticket prices vary for each location but the general price is $20.

Fathom Events also made a trailer for the fight:

"A fight like this belongs on pay-per-view," Fight Saga's Baker Geist wrote. "It has the potential to be a memorable fight. However, every product is limited by a price and if the price is too high, it can do more harm than good. The theater option might be a better way to go for this fight."

In the meantime, HBO uploaded the first episode of "24/7: Canelo/Golovkin 2" so if you're struggling to wait for the rematch that takes place in just over two weeks, you can see training footage, get behind-the-scenes access and watch in-depth interviews of the two middleweights.

Meanwhile, Golovkin is excited for his first-ever rematch and hopes to not have to rely on the judges again, as he puts his World Boxing Association, World Boxing Council and International Boxing Organization middleweight titles on the line.

"It is a new situation for me. This is my first rematch," Golovkin recently said. "I’m very excited because this fight is a completely different situation for us and for the fans. They get to see a fight with a real champion, two pound for pound champions. It is new."

"This is the biggest fight for boxing. I’m very happy because I am fighting at the highest level, the first class for boxing," he said.

Alvarez is also looking for a knockout win, especially after all the things Golovkin said about him and the criticism aimed toward his performance in the first fight.
