Canelo signs a 3 fight deal for 100 million and this is the fight PBC gives us. Not Canelo / Benevidez, not Charlo / Tszyu.
Maybe they make up for it later with the next 2 fights but right now, this is crap.
Garbage, LMAO.
That's the best y'all got?
Canelo won't fight them, so it doesn't matter. Maybe we'll get a rematch with Trout 10 years later, or a rematch against 40 year old Lara.
At 168 of course
...fans need to really understand that it goes completely against the ALI ACT to try and force a fighter to take a fight if I'm not mistaking so all this nonsense of "Why Don't This Or That Promoter Make A Fighter Take A Fight" because they can't
For PBC it is 100% about signing PBC to their Brand because it is good for business
You sign him and you let him do WTF he wants because he brings a huge Audience with him to our Platform. Sure you would like to make Canelo vs Benavidez and I think they will make it but likely will be the 3rd and Final Fight of this 3 Fight Deal so maybe May 2024 assuming that he does 2 out of 3 of those fights this year
If Canelo truly wants to fight Benavidez he can and the fight would get signed tomorrow but ultimately it is his choice!
Blaming PBC is just Fanboys once again wanting to deflect and not wanting any blame on Canelo what so ever. I like Canelo too but...it is very obviously they see Benavidez as a major Threat and the most Dangerous at 168. Unfortunately for them...Benavidez is only 26 years old so he is not going away anytime soon and is only getting BETTER so the longer they wait to fight him the more difficult he will be and if you're Benavidez you're still young enough to wait him out
I personally don't think Benavidez and Morrell should cancel each other out. When those 2 Fight it should be for something at least a Unification, Undisputed something it shouldn't be done right now for absolutely nothing on the line
My Mexican logic? Your black logic is for one of you people to to get drugged up on Fentanyl pay with a fake $20 and cry about it blaming the police when that drugged up moron became unruly.
where are the blacks at 168? Where they at? Same question that's been asked for years, only answers you people could give were Charlas and Andrades.
But I'm glad you people are conceding that Canelos most dangerous challenge isn't from the so called black athletic American, but from a Mexican in Benavidez.
Andrade. Morrell.
You forget both sides need to agree to fight and sign the contract for the fight. Canelo will cherrypick a 154lber who is on a 1 year layoff and had a broken injury. Not to mention Jermell never even fought at a weight class higher than 154lbs in his whole life. Call it for what it is.
So why not fight the one in his own weight class? By your Mexican Logic, Stephen Fulton meets the criteria of "black, american, athletic, world champion"
Therefore in Reyito's little pathetic mind Stephen Fulton vs Canelo is a fight that should be made!

Blame the "fans". Yesterday's narrative was,
Canelo doesn't fight black fighters
Black fighters give Canelo problems
Canelo scared of black athletic boxers
Canelo fights Euro stiffs instead of American black boxers
Canelo scared of the Charlos and Andrade.
Canelo shouldn't be fighting Jermall Charlo, better off fighting the brother who's a unified champ
All actual quotes I've seen from people here and other places
Well he signs on to fight a black, American, athletic, world champion boxer and everyone's still b.itching and crying!

If PBC was calling the shots then we shouldn't have heard anything about Canelo fighting Jermall first. Most likely he asked for Jermall, Jermall refused so then he asked for Jermell...
Anyways, you hypocrites crack me up. It's not Canelo's fault the sanctioning bodies are not forcing him to defend his belts against the top 168 pounders.

What is blame, because their business model first and foremost, is to make money, so they make fights they think they can make money from while keeping their top guy winning yet if he loses, it's to their own guy so it's not a big loss as it is to another promoter, there is nothing to blame these are businessmen, without them boxing would collapse overnight.
There are actually a lot of credible guys that like the fight, I don't care one way or other but I don't not like the fight, Im neutral on it, its boxing and I,ll be watching it, I reckon you are too invested in the my guy concept instead of just stepping back and enjoying the good fights when we get them, this year has been great and all the fan moaning and hating is numbing.
Mell dont have to take the fight if he dont want to just like Ryan Garcia didnt have to agree to any stipulations. I love how the hypocrites change narratives when their fighter is on the wrong side of negotiations. Besides, Mell has a chance, all Ive heard since Ryder is Canelos declining.
I believe Jermell Charlo injected himself into the deal without being asked to avoid the Tzsyu fight. Why all of a sudden his injury is no longer an issue?
It is hard to ignore the fact it works out for PBC as well, Jermell out with an injury that lasts until the day he signs to fight Canelo.
In a couple of weeks, when/if Crawford beats Spence, he would have started calling out Charlo and putting pressure for WW/JMW undisputed. And of course Tyszu has been waiting.

What would be funny, in a sad way, is if while PBC is wasting time with 2 lame fights, Benevidez trips over someone he underestimated and the whole Benevidez /Canelo matchup gets dashed against the rocks before it can make port.
It's a long wait for Benavidez. No to mention his last fight was already four months old.
And also considering fights in this sport take way too long to make, especially for high profile ones.
We're seeing at least one more year of sitting around doing nothing but wait. And then all kinds of things
can happen in that course of time, injuries, rematches, controversies, you name it.
I don't see Morrell vs Benavidez happening any time soon. It's really never good when there's only one face of boxing.
it seems unlikely. what seems likely is that pbc wants 3 bangs for their bucks. no guarantee that Canelo beats the Charlos but he probably does. That leaves us, finally, with Benevidez.
Exactly. If Canelo gets destroyed in the first fight of this deal, the second and third fights don't sell as well. Not good for Canelo or PBC. They're both willing partners in this.

My prediction came true. Tzsyu vs Charlo will never happen. Not even in the distant future.
Sad part is it's facilitated by PBC. They could just have went on with the Tzsyu vs Charlo unification just not to disturb a logical process, but they totally went against the grain, or the normal direction of the flow. Tzsyu vs Charlo is totally gone, gone, gone.
If Canelo wanted to avoid Benavidez he probably wouldn't have signed a deal with PBC but we'll see.
Fame and income doesn't directly correctly with ability and performance unfortunately. Same goes for other industries too. The highest paid actors and musicians etc aren't necessarily the best at their craft.
