I'm amazed you aren't friends with Curt. When you talk about racism don't forget you got a local white boy on these forums willing to blow you and all your buddies. Just giving you a heads up

You’re really a strange dude. Get help.

[KTFOKING]

Can we please get Morrell/Ryder on the undercard? Hearn was talking about Whyte on the undercard? I'll pass on that, especially if it against someone like Franklin.

[Curt Henning]

why do you keep mentioning they're getting paid? lol. What Champs don't get paid. Guess what ''Canelo and Plant'' are getting paid! who cares.. you mention a fighter's age, talk about ''upset'' wtf.. lol. you're acting like an LDBC Haymonite doe..

because you keep talking about his ppv numbers....you dumb ****...you seem to care about tanks ppv #s....and im telling you hes doing fine and making money...hes ahead of most guys when they were 26.....most of the top 20 p4p guys werent even near his level of exposure at his age....thats my point....keep talking about his "weak ppv #s" and ill keep telling u hes doing better than most were at 26...most guys havent even had a whiff of a ppv by then....and even if his #s arent great hell do one again soon! thats what im talking about....hes not GAF what u think about his ppv #s...hes building his profile and selling out in baltimore and ATL

your context is way out of whack!

Look at the thread title. Here's what I've said:

1.) $80 is too much
2.) Mexicans from Cali and Texas will buy the PPV
3.) LDBC Haymonites pretend they'll be buying a Plant PPV lol... Davis' numbers did low and that kid represents the LDBC Hoodlums...not Plant
4.) Canelo gets guarantess regardless, the biggest prize fighter, hence ''he gets paid''
5.) Plant would get paid
6.) Perhaps Haymon wants a success so that he can offer more future fights. THe endgame is that when Plant loses, Haymon would have gained Canelo's trust, assuming he likes the guarantee and future ease of negotiations. Canelo doesn't care if Haymon doesn't get a profit or if the networks do poor, he just needs to get paid.

im reminding you that tank doesnt GAF, nor do i or anyone else for that matter, care whether or not you think tanks ppv was a success or not......hes still succeeding and making money and gaining more exposure...more than bud was at 26...more than spence was at 26...loma was just giving up fighting kids in headgear at 26...lol....stay mad

Good that it going to happen.

Shame that it will be on PPV.

The PPV model is dead. But if any active boxer can still sell good numbers, Canelo is among those handful of boxers. Very few of them. Probably 3-4.

I’m not missing this fight for sure. I will pony up the $70-80 it will cost. But I disagree with that model of airing fights.

Yes, up to now it's been a fantastic deal, but Canelo is now a mercenary, he will fight on the platform with the highest bid. I won't buy an annual subscription at this moment not knowing whether two Canelo fights are guaranteed or if Golden Boy decides to take their stable elsewhere at years end.

Since Canelo is adamant on not being tied to any promotional platform,I highly doubt PBC is able to lure him in for any significant amount of time. PBC would have to be complete idiots to offer both Plant and Jermall with no future options because those belts are as good as gone if they do. Now if Goldenboy takes thier stable elsewhere then like you I'd have to think about re-upping my subscription...but then again,at $8.50/month for those remaining fighters still seems like bargain to me...far cry from having to buy 3-4 ppvs at $80/pop for the likes of Tank vs Barrios or even a Spence vs Porter.

[icha]

a boxing source in mexico claims canelo will be getting 50 mil for this fight, thats huge, he made 40 vs golovkin so is actually not that far if we consider coppi****** source says is going to be canelos highest payday ever... Damn uncle AL giving it all...
