Comments Thread For: Hearn: Canelo-Plant Can Go On Any Platform, But DAZN To Make a Major Play

[andocom]

It's because Canelo is trying to make history by becoming the world's first Undisputed Super Middleweight champion of Mexican descent. So the question is, would he like to keep that ambition in intact? If he so, then he knows what he has to do.

He is going to have to play ball with Al Haymon or there will be no fight and he knows that. In addition, at this point the PBC has leverage over all other competition because they hold the one belt that Canelo currently does not have and desperately wants and that is that IBF Super middleweight title.

So if DAZN or any other platform attempts to strong arm Al, then he could just as easily freeze Canelo completely out of the picture and he won't be allowed to make history at all. So if Team Canelo is smart, then they would call off their dogs and tell Eddie Hearn and DAZN to stay cool and allow Al Haymon and the PBC to promote this fight or run the risk of sabotaging it for good on a very easy and winnable fight for Canelo Alvarez on Mexican Independence Day.

You keep saying this over and over, Plant and Haymon have all the power just because they have the IBF belt.

Did you ever stop to think about it from the other side, you think Plant will be happy to fight someone else and get about 1 tenth the money, you don't think Plant would also like to become undisputed? Even if Plant were to cut off his nose despite his face turn down Canelo for Haymon, you don't think Canelo could get himself into a mandatory spot in short order, the IBF wants sanctioning fees, guess who pays the most out of a Plant fight or a Canelo fight?

Every boxer within a couple weight classes is waiting for Canelo's red panty night call up but according to you for the first time in the history of boxing the b-side is holding all the power?

Sure Plant has something Canelo wants, Canelo has multiple things Plant wants, including most importantly his biggest pay day ever, and end of the day money talks.

Canelo can really benefit from fighting on FOX PPV, can you imagine if this gets the kind of promotion the Fury Vs Wilder 2 fight received? He'd easily sell over 1M PPVs. Plant is easily marketable as well.

I thought maybe Canelo had plateaued in popularity, but FOX can catapult him to another level.

Especially with his newly shown-off English skills

Yes, because Plant knows that if he fights over at DAZN he would have to drop the belt and fight Canelo for his titles which Alvarez would not accept. Secondly, if by chance Plant is successful in leaving the PBC with his IBF Super middleweight title and loses to Canelo then what service, use or good would Caleb Plant be to Al Haymon then? None. He would then find himself without a platform because chances are Al Haymon and the PBC would drop him from their roster and where is he going to turn to then? So let's not get it twisted homie. It's a fact that the PBC is in the driver's seat. They hold all the cards and leverage in this scenario because they have the one belt that Canelo does not have. Also, since Caleb Plant has already turned down Alvarez twice before then chances are he would do it again if the fight is not fought on his terms.

Lol. Only LDBC fans think in this capacity. Al works for the boxer not the other way around. Would you have said that about Floyd? Of course not. Haymon works for Floyd. Haymonites and their “errrbody is racist” doe
