“I heard that Canelo said he respects me but he doesn’t like the way we do business,” Turki wrote on X. “As for him respecting me, it doesn’t matter to me if he does or not. As for the way we do business, I know why he doesn’t like it, because I only target big fights at fair prices, so of course anyone who likes easy fights won’t like that. And I know how he feels after losing to Bivol, so he’s been looking for easier fights ever since. Also, I’m not the one who’s afraid of fighting Benavidez or Crawford. Therefore, I knew he was wasting our time and making excuses with big amounts of money that can’t be paid. So I’m continuing my way to make big fights that serve the boxing world, and he’s on his way to making easy show-only fights.”
So now even Turki says what all boxing fans have been saying about Canelo
Turki goes for jugular right away and there is fugh all Canelo can do about it
Lmfao
Turki was right about everything he said except Canelo being "afraid" of crawford. he is afraid of benavidez but definitely not crawford, he would squash him like a pancake.
Turki also didnt push the benavidez fight, the one all hardcore fans really want to see, he has been pushign the sham fight with crawford .
This is a battle of egos, Canelo is used to being A side and everyone including WBC president solumon are always kissing his ass. Turki requested Canelo to break from his fight camp to fly out to los angeles to negotiate a fight when hes focusing on his fight in 6 weeks and Canelo wants to do things on his timeline, that is the power play.
It was probably the first time any boxer refused to meet with Turki in his life so he got butthurt by it.
Personally i dont care either way because these two weren't going to make the benavidez fight so who cares if they are in a pissing contest.
Imagine another 5 years fighting D level fighters
I’m not a fan and couldn’t care less as I’ve witnessed what he was and I know what he has become
It is what it is
El Rayo looked sensational against Pitbull! I believe Garcia has made a difference in correcting El Rayo's reckless way of attack and all around style.
Yup , RGBA I think it’s called has really changed him
This is a guy with losses on his record who just got better off those losses
Just goes to show there is nothing wrong if you lose your 0
I was expecting Bakole to win but I was overly impressed and picked El Rayo to defeat Pitbull
And he Di it with bigger grandeur imo
The fact that Pitbull could crack him anytime ( game changer ) , I knew Anderson couldn’t hurt Bakole

I definitely see your perspective and don't disagree. I just think Canelo is already becoming less relevant because his age keeps him from seeking 50/50 battles due to his lack of hunger and necessity for wealth/success, which he already has in abundance.
I don't think any man that is in the hurt business can be rightfully called a coward and to me, it appears that Canelo is dead serious when he says "it's my way or the highway". As a fan of the sport who wants to see him fight Benavidez, I don't necessarily like it, but I have to respect him for putting himself in a position where he can honestly say "If you don't like it, fack you all". I don't think he or Tank will bend over backwards for Turki and that's awesome to see, in contrast to everyone on last Saturday's card. I felt embarrassed for Pitbull as I saw him seek out Turki just to kiss his a$$.
You are right about Bakole, his fight was the most exciting of the evening and I look forward to watching his next bout. But you have to acknowledge that letting his fists fly is what made his fight exciting.

True. I think he is. If Canelo keeps fighting no hopers and Turkish makes these blockbusters, Canelo becomes less relevant.
Will be interesting to see how this UFC card does against Canelo. IMO it blows it away because I know a lot of boxing fans that aren’t buying the fight.
Just think about the last card. Bakole went from someone many barely knew to the guy we want to see in with the top 3.
Not to mention fights at the lower weights. Turkish could make the Inoue/Bam and Tank/Shakur fights that continue to elevate boxers.

Ok even better
Di you notice anything cause I certainly didn’t after that
Turki said he was going to send him a pair of boxing gloves. I guess that was the offer.
Turki sounds like a spoiled little rich kid, upset that he's not getting his way. He's offended that anyone dare refuse the money he was born into. Canelo putting a monkey wrench into his plans for a farce of a fight between he and Crawford.
I thought Bud was getting some crazy offer for Madrimov. He got a $2.5 million guarantee. Not exactly Earth-shattering.
Canelo says, "I don't like the way he does business," and I kind of feel him on that. There's an arrogance about Turki that's palpable. The ass kissing we saw over the weekend, referring to him as "his excellency".
Do what you gotta do to secure your bag, but I would never... he's just a man born into a rich family.
Of course he is, but ginger doesn't like it because he will need to face real fighters to get pay, I'm not talking about bud.
What he said was that the conversation have to start with 2 ferrari's parked in front of his house.

When he got called out from Turki , he said he would do it for two Ferraris
There is an article here if not mistaken

I did not see this.
Because 2 Ferraris is nothing for Turkish.

Not sure Why you wouldn’t think that this would stop negotiations
Nobody likes to be slapped in the face

Canelo needs to be careful. Canelo fights are winding down and Turki has the money to make a lot of Canelo fights the 2nd show in town.
Making Turki a rival will not be good for Canelo.

Had to be a joke. Turkish surely has the money for 2 Ferraris in his small change box. Can’t see how that would stop negotiations.

He demanded two Ferraris lol
Whether that was a joke or not , it certainly disinterested progress things

I didn’t see where he did. Tank and Canelo can still
make fights without Turkish short term.
By the middle of 2025, they will have to get on board.
