Just listened to the Pug and Cop podcast where Mike Coppinger gave Caleb Plant the perfect opportunity to state his intent on the Canelo fight. Coppinger asked him straight would you be willing to do this fight on DAZN and he completely ducked the question.
Rather than saying I'd be open to it if the deal was right, he completely avoided it and said "I have a great team around me. I have a great manager Luis de Cubas Jr, Al and Luis haven't made a mistake yet, they've done great with me and my career and so I trust them to make the right call and whatever that is I'll follow there lead."
I get that Al Haymon is super smart and a man of great integrity but FFS, when will these fighters take responsibility for their own careers?
My guess is DAZN will offer a bigger guarantee than FOX, Plant will refuse to fight on DAZN and so it's up to Canelo whether he takes the fight on FOX but I'd doubt he would take a smaller guarantee.
Plant doesn't have a deal with FOX.
Let's say DAZN put up $50m guarantee for the fight, at $80 PPV it would take 1.25m buys to generate the same revenue which was almost what Canelo v Golovkin I did.
Why not let the highest bidder show the fight?
Canelo doesn't owe FOX anything.
Well that is the point to my Post it SHOULD go to the Highest Bidder Including Triller if they wanted to jump in on this but I posted that because people are just saying "Plant Has To Go To DAZN!",,,No he doesn't just like Canelo doesn't have to go to FOX either BUT for Canelo to Unify and Make history he just might have to do it to assure he gets the opportunity at Unification is all I'm saying and I don't see how that is a Bad thing at all as long as Canelo is getting what he wants.
And I will not miss a night's sleep over this. AJ and Crawford already been going through this for months and years. Let us not forget which seems to be a convenience when it comes to Canelo that Canelo had an undisputed 160 fight on the books in-network on DAZN but ducked it.
Well he really doesn't have to go to DAZN because Canelo is not SIGNED to DAZN or Eddie Hearn
I'm Sure FOX wants Canelo on their Platform and that is likely what it will take. Why is it a bad thing for Canelo to do a 2 Fight Deal with PBC like he concluded his 2 Fight Deal with Hearn. Some of you are just Promotional Groupies and don't want Canelo to go over to PBC and work with Haymon, you want Canelo to stay with Eddie Hearn. Look Hearn is a excellent promoter and his done a excellent job working with Canelo BUT for Undisputed and to make history he likely will have to go over if he wants to make history. As long as PBC is giving him what he wants HE SHOULD go over for a short term 2 Fight Deal of Plant and a Option for Charlo of Benavidez that seems more than FAIR to me. Then after that he can go right back to Eddie Hearn with all the Belts if he wins.
Stop with this Promotional Groupie Garbage! Yes Canelo should go over and make history for himself as long as they give him WTF he wants. Haymon not only allowed but he played a key role in getting GGG vs Derevyenchenko Done so it can be done. If Plant goes over Haymon will make sure he is paid BIG MONEY to do it like he got Derevyenchenko Paid to go fight GGG

Plant's a coward. These PBC dudes are all nothing but cowards. Always hiding behind Hymen, saying "well you gotta talk to Al" or "Imma talk to Al". MFer you a grown ass man, this is boxing, not the NFL where it's already decided who you get to play.
Man up Plant! Say you're going to fight him!
So he said he'll trust his management team to decide whether to fight Canelo on another network? That's not a duck. Haymon has allowed multiple of his fighters to switch networks and challenge Canelo. Plus Fox will bid for the fight also.
It's ok, nobody really wants to see Plant fight Canelo anyway, although a fight for undisputed is always fun. But if the fight doesn't happen I will not be disappointed.

I made a thread even before Smith fight saying that Plant would duck Canelo if he got the 3 other belts(I also predicted patticake hands plant would sit on the shelf & fight nobodies til then.)
