Comments Thread For: Smith's Trainer: If Canelo Fails To Make Weight - Fight is Off!

Canelo cannot afford much more disgrace. He better make the contracted weight.

no, it won't, they'll just pay a few more bucks, the show must go on, fans need to be fleeced

I agree we lose as fans but there are unethical fighters and managers that take advantage of it. It just is not right. Don't they give them a pound allowance anyway?

It is time for boxing to say if you don't make weight you the fight is off you lost your purse. I can't stand it when a fighter makes weight and then is allowed to fight. I agree but the problem is the TV people who end up losing out.

They just going to get paid more money and the fight would go ahead as planned.

Mexicans are always cheating with the weight. It's about time fighters told them to go and smoke and called the fights off. Only then will something be done about it. Going through with the fight allows them to continue this farce.

I kind of like this. I remember when AB would constantly miss making weight and how much crap I thought it was.

The reason the VADA testing was called of is GBP could not take a chance on Canelo not making weight, it would be the straw that broke the camels back after running down to 54 saying Canelo is not a 60 fighter. He will make weight with help from the drugs, period. Simple truth ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^:hail:

It would be interesting to hear what excuse Canelo's team would come out with if he failed to make weight. He looked drained as shit at the weigh in for the Cotto fight and that was at 155. He'll be fine. There's no testing!

Lol this is a Texas rules fight. Remember when Chavez Jr skipped out on his post fight drug test after the Andy Lee fight? Emanuel Steward was mighty steamed. I would check those scales. As far as I'm concerned, the results for this fight have already been paid for.

Candelita won't make weight and Smith will accept the extra cash to fight.

Imagine the backlash if he does miss weight. I reckon the fight would still go on if Canelo is over by very small amount. I think Gallagher is just sending out a little reminder that he expects things to be kept professional.

So would that mean the World would be blessed with a Monroe/Rosado PPV

He may make 154, but he will be a drained middleweight simply by the fact that his last 5 fights were at 155 which is obviously not junior middleweight and he probably struggled to make his own catchweight of 155.

Canelo will make weight; there is no testing. And why the hell are people not talking about that!!!!! ggg, mayweather, pac, ward etc...if testing was called off for their fights, fight fans would go balistic!!!!

Never going to happen. They won't walk away from an extra 1/4 million. It would be a huge statement if he did though

... the huge backlash happened already -- when he vacated and ducked GGG. Those who still support him don't give a **** about "huge backlashes". True, it will be more like a continuation of the downward spiral of Cuntnelo's rep. His die hard fans will continue to have their lips planted firmly on his candy ass.
