    Am not going through your BS. Fact is Plant isn’t going to fight Canelo. Don’t get your hopes up. PBC would turn the fight down like they did all those offers that I listed.

    Your “Counters” made zero sense. And going back and forth in regards is a waste of my time with you.
    No problem…...

      Hes going to do what al tells him.

        will canelo accept undisputed at 160 vs andrade on dazn with both having all 4 belts? ops, my bad! that being said, if haymon blocks plant, i could care less. different platforms, unlike andrade undisputed fight. oh, oscar stopped it but the bodies don't strip cash cow. See aj with 3 belts and fmw jr holding belts in 2 divisions for over 2 yrs with no real mandos.

          Unfortunately I do not believe so and I consider myself a boxing fan regardless of promotional association. There seems to be too much evidence with history showing that Plant will not take this fight in September. I do not believe that Plant is a bad fighter nor a “ducker” but i think that he will miss out on this fight for one reason or another.

            Most guys try to get that big payday fight.... PBC guys run away from it to fight bums for 1/5 the money

              Fine, if you want Caleb Plant to fight on DAZN then let him go right ahead and do it. However, don't kid yourself into believing that he will be taking that IBF Super middleweight strap with him because Al Haymon won't allow it.

              If he wants to fight on a rival platform and promotional company then he must drop that belt first. Remember this fight is a voluntary not a mandatory defense and you are a smart guy. You know that Al Haymon would do everything in his power to get Plant to drop that belt before departing for DAZN; By either having him stripped or forcing him to a fight a mandatory challenger.

              Al is no fool. He is a very savvy businessman. As I said before what use would Caleb Plant be to Al Haymon coming back to the PBC empty handed without any belts; None? Plant would be dropped from his roster if he does. Now Plant can leave for DAZN if he wants to but he just can't take the belt with him. Besides, Canelo remains above the fray anyway. He is not into the politics of boxing. He just wants to make the best fights for the fans and if that means fighting on Fox then so be it.

                It's a fair question.

                I recall posting (a few years ago) that PBC needs to do a better job of pushing Plant and that he's one of their very best talents. His career hasn't developed quite to my expectations and PBC has not put him in any meaningful fights. I was surprised to hear Canelo so openly promote a relative unknown, but to Canelo's credit, he operates different than other A sides. I think Canelo just gave free press to a PBC fighter. It seems like few people actually think this fight happens next. It's almost like we've become accustomed to fighters making strange decisions, calling career high paydays "low offers" and then doing in-house fights. Andrade is ready and willing however with no cheesy "opposite street" games to be played.

                  He didn't make it clear Andrade had the last belt at 160 when that was the only belt he didn't have. ops, it was all oscar's fault but the belts don't strip cash cows
