While Eddie Hearn has said that Premier Boxing Champions intends to tie Canelo for three fights, including Plant's, as a premise to gain access to the battle, sources on the PBC side have told ESPN KNOCKOUT that they are willing to negotiate a single fight. with the best pound for pound in the world, the long-awaited battle with Plant.
PBC sources confirmed that they are willing to negotiate a single fight, Canelo's with Plent, beyond the fact that they believe they have two good options for Canelo's future such as David Benavidez and Jermall Charlo, who have been mentioned repeatedly. as possible enemies of the four-time world champion.

No excuses not for this fight to be made next. Canelo shouldn't be signing a three fight deal with anyone, he could sign maybe a two fight deal at most. He can fight Plant and then if he wants to fight Charlo or Benavidez next? He can do that or go try his hand at 175 against Bivol or Beterbiev. Obviously he can fight with PBC the next fight if he prefers Charlo or Benavidez, but leaving his options open are smart.
Get this fight signed already!
yeah, it seems unreal to think that one belt will get you more power than 3 belts, let alone everything else canelo brings to the table, that being said if pbc offers more than dazn, then canelo should fight there, i see nothing wrong with that..
100%. The highest bidder without any string attached!!! Please take the fight. If FOX/PBC guarantee Canelo more money then do your thing.
I really don’t know how some don’t see this! Plant main priority would be or should be (Firstly his biggest payday), and being undisputed.
Canelo has done 75% of the job for Plant already, and he also brings a massive payday with that. Plant shouldn’t care if Canelo has to sign a deal with PBC, Canelo isn’t asking or requiring Plant signing with his promotional company or with DAZN.
So why should Plant care about Canelo signing a 2 fight deal with PBC, unless it’s a rematch clause in case he loses to Canelo.

whoever offers more money for the one fight has the handle, plant also said being undisputed was his dream, so he should go where the most money is at...

Again, I'm fine with a two fight deal...But that's MAX I think Canelo should take with anyone. But being a free agent and able to do business with anyone is the way to go.
Being free is the way to go like you said, don’t sign any multiple deals Phuck that BS.
He should negotiate each fight separately, his offers are for career high paydays for each boxers that he fights, trying to bait him into a 2 fights deal with a certain promoter is wrong, it means he would be tie to them and isn’t free to should who or where to fight next.
What happens if he wants to fight Beterbiev next for example? Not that I mind a Benavidez or Charlo or Boo Boo fight for that matter.
The boxer (Plant) should be the priority here, not his affiliated company (PBC).
Canelo is not dumb, he has been in this business now for a minute and knows what he wants, he obviously wants to be undisputed at 168, but if PBC thinks they can hold him to ransom then he would obviously move to 175 and fight the available beltholders.
This isn’t about Hearn or the obsession over him, Canelo calls the shots.
This is all about PBC wanting control, but Canelo would not be controlled, if he wants to fight Benavidez or Charlo after Plant then he would negotiate that separately, but from a business point of view I get what PBC are trying to do, use one stone to kill TWO birds.
Canelo first priority is to make sure he earn as much as possible from each fight, if PBC/FOX can guarantee him more on PPV then he would look at that, but with DAZN’s money, and how cheap they are making those fights for fight fans, I doubt FOX would stand a chance with their PPV offer to him.
that is sad for those who are fans of plant...
plant should be the one with hunger, canelo is already a legend...
but legacy aside, if plant rejects more money from dazn than pbc is offering then we will have to call it a duck...
again, it doesnt matter who wants it more, whoever offers more money should get the fight, if not then is a shame...
Red - but they'll find a way to blame Canelo.
Blue - indeed
Like I posted originally "2 Fight Deal Is FAIR", Unify with Plant then fight Charlo or Benavidez and then he is done he can go "Reign" at 175, this is not difficult we all know this is not Difficult but again "Fans Of Promoters" some on here don't give a SH%T about boxing they just want him with Hearn and on DAZN fighting whoever

Two points.
Multi Fight deals are a ****ing cancer to the sport.
Eddie Hearn cant STFU and not negotiate through the media.
agree on hearn
also agree with your first point...but try telling that to the dolts who said al and dick were trying to fock oscar over.....
But what if he beats Plant and wants to reign at 175? Being a free agent will allow him to fight Bivol or Beterbiev next. He can still fight at 168 and Charlo/Benavidez are really good options for him, but no need to lock yourself in if you don't have to.

Canelo wants that undisputed tag. If he wants it badly then, PBC got the handle.
whoever offers more money for the one fight has the handle, plant also said being undisputed was his dream, so he should go where the most money is at...
He thinks PBC is going to steal Canelo from Hearn. He doesn’t even really like Canelo but the fact that Canelo mite leave and fight on PBC is what’s making him mad. Offering someone a contract is now considered dictating the terms according to Robbie Hearn.
canelo is with hearn on a fight by fight basis, hearn will copromote even if the fight is at pbc, now after this fight who knows...
If Plant for some reason says no to an offer where Canelo takes a one fight deal with the PBC to fight him then clearly Plant wouldn't want the fight.
what if dazn offers more money than pbc for the one fight deal and plant rejects the offer ??

I don't know but people are getting emotional about all this. Canelo can bounce around different networks and make good fights. Seems like a good thing to me...
The face of the sport, who has earned the right to be where he is HAVING TO fight on channels dictated to him by the manager/promoter of relative nobodies IS THE ISSUE. That's not how the sport works and never has. The challengers go to the draw and the man, that is Canelo.
