In an article posted today by RECORD, a mexican sports newspaper Canelo talked about not being too thrilled about fighting on the undercard of Mayweather's next fight. Says that he will fight on the undercard and that no one is on his list other than Trout. Canelo says he is just waiting for Trout to sign and Mayweather to sign and agree for a September fight against him and if he doesn't he will not fight on May 4. The link is below.

Real question is why does Floyd need Canelo at all? He can opt to find other fighters and be done with it.
I'd rather pay to watch Canelo/Trout on a separate date.
So he wants Mayweather to sign to fight him whether he wins or loses against Trout? If so then I don't see Mayweather signing for this fight
Yeah being a star in mexico seems to have him overestimating his drawing power. Oh he dont want to fight on an undercard even though he hasnt beaten anybody. Oh he wants to demand mayweather fight him even if he gets schooled by trout. Good luck with that.
Canelo might think he can back Mayweather into a corner but I don't think it will work. Mayweather never guarantees he will fight a real threat. He might posture like he would, or talk in circles like he might, but he will never guarantee he will.
So, I hope this doesn't derail his fight with Trout. Even if he doesn't get his guarantee from Floyd and backs out of the May 4th date, I will hope he will fight Trout on his own card. I would get that one. Floyd-Guerrero, I would wait on the replay.
Here we go with another boxer who's already not giving a crap about his current opponent and already thinking about Floyd. Khan did this 2x and he lost twice.
Great News but Canelo don't have the Power to tell Mayweather what he has to do or what he has to sign up for...if Trout beats Canelo then Mayweather going on to fight Canelo in September anyways would make absolutely NO SENSE!
So no he shouldn't get a guaranteed fight with Mayweather in September, you beat Trout and if Mayweather wins his fight then they come back and negotiate that fight
I still call BULL***** and then when he doesn't fight Trout they will blame it on "Because Mayweather Wouldn't Sign For September"
All Canelo wants is a better money offer for taking Floyd's undercard fight. That's all. Seems stupid to take Floyd's pathetic undercard offer when Canelo can fight on a separate date with significantly more money.
First of all, Canelo and his team know September is a fictitious date. It is just a promotional ploy for the May event.
You clowns need to forget about that September date crap.
This is all about MONN NEEEY.
Is that right?? So Floyd wasn't forced to take that useless fight?? There I go defending the guy.:footinmou
Yep :lol1:
He honoured the verbal agreement. It was supposed to be a "Mega-fight" and it would have been had Judah not lost :nonono:
But yeah, Mayweather wasn't obliged to fight Judah at that point but he did anyway.
Trout is real threat for Canelo. Guerrero is an easy picking for Floyd! Canelo just wanna make sure he'll get Floyd! I applaud Canelo for taking Trout! He's a real warrior! Floyd should fight JMM instead of Guerrero! This new JMM is different than what he fought last time out!
Canelo should get credit even if this fight doesn't come off.
From Wikipedia: "With the loss to Carlos Manuel Baldomir, it appeared that Judah's much anticipated bout with Mayweather was off, but Judah's promoter Don King and Mayweather's promoter Bob Arum reworked the deals so the fight would go on."
There you have it Bushbaby, the fight was off until the promoters got together and made the deal anyway. There was no guarantee win or lose that Zab got a Mayweather fight. Go study up before you comment.....
Yeah, I was corrected pages ago bout that. Still doesn't change the original point. A signed guarantee is a signed guarantee. Win, lose or draw.
There ya go Qualllobo. Like I said, go study up before you comment. Win or lose doesn't have to be stipulated. If Judah signed to fight Floyd before he fought & loss to Baldomir, then he's fighting Floyd at the appointed date, win or lose.
