Comments Thread For: Plant Mocks Canelo For Failing To Fight On Annual September Date For Third Straight Year

Plant should be counting his blessings that he’s still in the running to get that canelo payday. We could all be celebrating a bivol fight right about now and what would he do? Try to sit on that belt in hopes the main man every cares to look in his direction again. And by sitting I mean fighting more bums or not fighting at all for another year.

Why do the Americans when offered a chance to win three belts and a record pay day run and their fans defend this? It's just bizarre.
It's always well he has three belts so he's now less of an A side because the other guy has one, just weird. In their mind if Canelo had less belts to offer Plant he has less value .. everything that is wrong with boxing, it's like he was asked to fight in Mexico.

Plant seemed like an ok guy but he's turned into a complete diva, I don't think he wants to fight, end of.

Clowns like Plant price themselves out. Thats all this is, he rather face those nobodies PBC gives him and hold onto that belt.

Which bum/oldie will Canelo fight now? It’s been awhile that Canelo has fought someone dangerous, someone in their prime. I suspect another Euro level bum or Euro ready to retire. Boxing has no one of ppv value from 154 to cruiser weight.

Canelo is straight up a diva but how do you discredit him winning three belts at 168 and one more to go? So all belt holders at 168 are all bums??

Did you NOT read the article plus all the others before this?
Plaht agreed to everything except Canelo’s crazy demands. No where has Plant or Canelo’s team suggested that he priced himself out.
Whete did you come up with that lie?

Ducking ggg by sitting out on his Mexican date started a trend.

Plant is in the right in this negotiation. Most people don't know what the negotiation fell apart because of. The money was not the issue for plants purse. It was like an 80/20 or 85/15 split in canelo's favor the split was agreed on that was not the problem. This is what Canelo tried to do. There's a clause in the contract that if Canelo gets sick or injured they have to delay the event till he is able to perform. No biggie right, that seems reasonable?

But get this in the reverse case that Caleb plant gets injured or get popped for one of those bogus covid tests Canelo wants to keep the event on the same date with a replacement opponent and he wants PBC to still pay him the same amount of money the same front end guarantee. So let's say PBC guarantees 40 million dollars to Canelo for this fight. Canelo thinks he is still entitled to 40 million if in the last couple weeks something happens to Caleb plant and a b side alternate needs to be brought in. After all the promotional work they did for that. Not a different price point not less money he wants the exact same money in the event of an opponent change. That is absolutely crazy and that's why PBC would not sign off on it. Again like I said the greatest risk is either guy could test positive for covid with no symptoms because that's the nature of the PCR test. Canelo Flexed his Diva muscles on this one big time.

His alternative was to try to get Bivol down to as low of a weight as possible with a rehydration clause as well. A little trick he learn from Floyd Mayweather. The Bivol fight fell apart too. And now Canelo does not have an opponent because he tried to **** two different promoters. The September date was a traditional big pay-per-view date fight weekend in the Latino Community built up by Oscar De La Hoya and Bob arum. He lost that day by screwing around and that is why Caleb plant is taunting him.

Very ****** replies on here. Incredibly ****** actually. First of all this was going to be a career-high Payday for Canelo. It was going to be a career-high Payday for both of these guys but it is dependent on it being a unification title fight for Supremacy in the 168 lb division and a successful pay-per-view. The main financier of the fight you know the person that actually puts up the 40 million? Is PBC. Canelo doesn't pay himself 40 million. Previously Canelo was getting corporate welfare from dazn and PBC already spent all of its corporate welfare money keeping itself afloat the last few years. PBC won't pay 40 million unless they get a genuine pay-per-view attraction fight that generates over 40 million in Revenue. They won't pay for Canelo to fight a replacement opponent or anyone other than Caleb plant. Never in the history of boxing has someone asked for that sort of deal. He is absolutely f$$king delusional. As are the people that comment without even reading the article..

It’s been reported by multiple people that Plant agreed to the terms. You can’t find a report anywhere that says Plant priced himself out. When all else fails you just go and make sh.it up. Lol Canelo **** rider.

Who is the source of all these multiple reports? It sounds like -- and I could be wrong -- that the sole source is Plant. Canelo's side haven't commented on it. So we get Plant's side of the story. And --shock, horror -- it paints Plant as the reasonable guy and Canelo as the diva. I'm guessing there is a little more to it than that.

It does sound like the $ amount was sound but I will keep an open mind until there is objective information available.
