Coppinger: Talks Fall Apart in 11th Hour for Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant Undisputed Showdown

Plant detailed why it felt through. It's the ginger with his idiotic stipulations. 1 way rematch for clenelo. Huge ring, 40mill purse still even if plant gets injured during camp. Lol what? Those are par for the course. Canelo holds 3 belts and is boxings superstar, lesser champs have 1 way rematches. How is that ridiculous? A-side picks the ring size, who should pick it? Plant? Lol. 40mil is PBC’s offer to get Canelo to bless their platform. If you can’t uphold it, let your fighter get paid on DAZN (the money is the same for Plant I believe). None of these demands are ridiculous. They are par for the course.

Canelol is the A side and that's a fact. Let him have whatever he wants as long as Plant gets his 10 million then who really gives a fuck.

I read somewhere else that Plant was unhappy that the substitution clause only went 1 way...... meaning that if Plant pulls out with an injury or whatever, Canelo gets a new opponent and the event goes on, but if Canelo pulls out with an injury, then the event is off. Which makes PERFECT sense. Does Plant really think that if Canelo falls off, that he is still getting $10 million to fight Willie Pinecone instead? LOLOL (And I dont know the validity of this story, its just what I read) Frankly, I couldn’t understand Plant on this either. I mean a healthy ego is a good thing in this sport but he can’t think he is a $10 mil ppv boxer without Canelo.

You’ve already decided who is at fault and who should be mad without any facts or information. Worse, as the facts come in you will likely ignore them and force everything into the narrative you’ve created,never if the facts prove that narrative false. come on man. Well yeah the person who’s unlikely to see this sort of money should obviously be mad.

This is how it is negotiating with a PBC fighter. It's hard.

And boxing just continues to shoot itself in the foot. Meanwhile UFC PPV's are doing great numbers and the best continue to fight the best. Like this post but I will just say this-while plant has a title and this is a unification fight, I think the majority of boxing fans think charlo, Benavidez, ggg, Bivol and Bieterbiev would all be better fights than Plant and that this fight is not the best fighting the best.

Well whatever the reason plant should be furious. Especially as it wasn’t him who turned down the deal, he was happy with his fee. I’m pretty sure canelo wanted the fight too so I’d be interested to know who’s at fault. You’ve already decided who is at fault and who should be mad without any facts or information.

Yeah. It's pretty much just trash matchup after trash with the Callum, Saunders, Plant trio. Hopefully PBC will let Benavidez take Plant's belt. Any knowledgeable fan knows this. Trash is trash. Kudos to you.

If true, thank God for saving us from this mismatch. Yeah. It's pretty much just trash matchup after trash with the Callum, Saunders, Plant trio. Hopefully PBC will let Benavidez take Plant's belt.

So far we know everyone was happy with the deal, everything was agreed to from both side, rematch clause, money etc PBC were meant to have sent Team Canelo their draft contract, which they did, so am guessing Canelo’s solicitors were NOT happy with the wording in the contract (Fine prints says something else). :boxing:

Fingers crossed that everything can be resolved and we can have a unification fight for September. I don't care what network or provider has the broadcast/streaming rights. Until we have more information, blame and finger pointing will wait (for me at least).

Plants been waiting for a reason to pull out. IDGAF what Coppinger says, if Plant wanted it, they would have signed. I bet he means, "Plant wanted it but...." has to be some excuse attached because they would have signed if they really wanted it.

Not surprised at all. I'll wait until the facts come out, but won't be shocked if Plant's side killed the deal

How do you know this? It doesn't say who disagreed to what. Coppinger said Plant didn’t turn it down. No indication that Canelo’s side turned it down. Like most of these fights that fall through uncle Al convinces these guys to stick to in house fights. He holds these titles hostage.

Is this for sure dead? Couldn't have read a better news today! Doesn't this mean no trinkets will be unified?
