    That’s a good point. But after charlo’s last fight, given the crowd and his performance, Canelo has to figure that would be a very winnable and profitable fight, especially if they do it in Texas.

      That's a good point also.

        I've said all along that this was just a negotiation tactic and ploy by Team Alvarez in order to strong arm and squeeze more concessions out of the PBC at the bargaining table. However, it backfired. It didn't work. Al Haymon told Team Alvarez to kick rocks. If I was him I would offer them substantially less money than what I offered them the first time. If this is true, then it's an obvious sign of desperation by Canelo Alvarez. Now it's time for Fox and the PBC to make Ginger crawl and beg for a fight after spurning that original offer of $40M.

          They both have straps at 175 & they’re both tougher challenges than Plant at a higher weight. Canelo doesn’t need undisputed for us to know that he’s the best at 168

            Why are you so supportive of Plant holding the belt hostage?

            I'd be in favour of a unifed champ being able to force a holdout like Plant to face the person who holds all the other belts. Why, in the case of a champ trying to unify, should they be made to crawl and beg to try and line up the best fight in the division? It's bizarre to think you like barriers being put up to an undisputed fight.

              But they must not have someone ready to pay Canelo $40 million dollars? I'm not sure Canelo is the best @ 168, not until he beats Benavidez!

                At $40 fucking million dollars man? Are you serious? Are you kidding me? For a one fight deal? Give me a fucking break! Are you aware of the number of fighters who are willing and waiting on a $40M offer to fight? The only one who is holding the belt hostage here is Canelo Alvarez diva ass.

                The question you should be asking yourself is why is Team Alvarez attempting to put the the PBC out of business; By strong arming and squeezing the life blood out of them? Does it have anything to do with race? I certainly think so.

                That rejection was not only an insult to Al Haymon's character but his honor, dignity and integrity as well. He compromised and he compromised some more in order to appease an unreasonable asshole jerk like Canelo Alvarez.

                However, how did Alvarez repay him? By making him twist in the Goddamn wind. Now, I would offer Ginger a $10M take it or leave it offer on principle alone and If he refuses then who the fuck needs that racist motherfucker among their stable of fighters anyhow? He is not the end of boxing.

                Al Haymon is a very busy man. He doesn't have time for all of these Goddamned Mickey Mouse games being played by Team Alvarez. If Canelo wants his ass kissed then tell him to go back to Matchroom and DAZN.

                  wait, wut... ???

                  so, Team Canelo have undertaken a conspiracy to make PBC broke, because... they hate blacks ?

                  the demand... unless a boxer signs a multi-fight agreement with your company, he will not land a deal with any of your fighters... is brand new, and total garbage

                  that nonsense started with Bob Arum and Pacquiao... and when first mentioned, everyone called Bob Arum a greedy old cvnt

                  and the "drive-them-into-bankruptcy" conspiracy just sounds like nonsense

                  it is ridiculous to insist that the number one draw in boxing must sign a multi-fight agreement with anyone

                    If PBC is willing to pay Canelo $40 million to fight Plant of all people, they’re either ******ed or extremely desperate to have him on the network. No way that fight is worth that much lol but it’s their money so whatever. Can’t imagine what they’d pay for a Benavidez or Charlo fight those are better fights with higher demand

                      You've obviously read but misunderstood my post. It was for a one fight deal Sherlock for $40 fucking million dollars.
