Comments Thread For: Plant On Negotiating With Canelo: He Found Out That I'm Not A Fighter You Can Just Push Around

[Thuglife Nelo]

wrong. Canelo never negotiated with Plant. As the lead promoter, PBC was the one doing all the negotiations. PBC negotiated with Canelo, and PBC negotiated with Plant. Canelo wasnt promoting the event, so he couldnt care less what Plant is making. And the stumbling block in the first deal was the replacement opponent issue between Canelo and PBC. It also had nothing to do with Plant.

So it makes me wonder what exactly Plant is talking about, because he never negotiated with Canelo in the first place......

Why hasn’t the venue been set for this fight. Both Canelo and Plant have enrolled in VADA but I see no official date or venue on Boxrec. I’m wondering if Haymon is having trouble secure a venue or something.

This is PBC in a nutshell, even if you are the B side they are not willing to make the fight under the A side terms. This fight would have never happened if Canelo didn’t go over to their side. They are prepared for their own boxer to not get that opportunity, just because it has to be on their side. No other promotional outfit would make that stand, if they do then boxing fans would not see most fights that we are seeing now in cross promotions… Imagine wanting to fight Mayweather and you would only fight him if he comes over to your side….

actually you’re wrong. Canelo tried to offer plant a fight before but with short notice and it was shut down by plant. I did mention that canelo tried to leverage pbc with his demands and it failed. His demand was getting 40 mil for a replacement opponent which was a ridiculous demand so it was in fact canelo who held up the fight. Otherwise, even though canelo was dealing with pbc, there are always things that a fighter has To agree to. So if plant is saying he didn’t cave, there were likely specific diva like demands that A sides try to pull that plant wouldn’t agree to. We’ve seen canelo implement multiple demands in the past like catch weights, rehydration clauses, size of ring etc. so who know what he may have tried to pull.

uhmmm, wrong again. By all reports, Plant had already signed off on the first deal, but the replacement issue between Canelo and PBC was the deal breaker. So what exactly did Plant "hold out" about, if he had already signed off??

Plant is the fighter, not the promoter. The issue that killed the first date had nothing to do with him.

are you aware that canelo tried to make this fight before but offered plant short notice? Are you also aware that despite plant agreeing to his part, negotiations were still dragged out before he agreed, you acting as if you know more than plant about what negotiations entailed is laughable. Just admit you’re wrong and move on.

Canelo has always been easy to deal with.

you dont know what you are talking about. Plant had already signed off, and had nothing to do with the Sept date fallout.

But carry on...............

you’re the one who doesn’t know what you’re talking about. Are you Caleb Plant? Are you Canelo? Do you work for PBC? If not, who are you to say that Plant is lying? You weren’t a part of the negations and have no clue what happened outside of what you’ve read on this site. So you pretending as if you know more than plant when you’re just some guy with a boxing scene account makes you look goofy. I understand that what plant says shines a light on a man that you admire, but you pretending that it isn’t true just because you don’t want to believe it makes you look gullible and blinded by love.

But carry on………….

Plant is spewing his BS as usual. He turned the fight down earlier in '20, trying to claim Feb-May was too short of a turnaround while crying to the media about how he was being set up. Meanwhile Canelo just fought 3 times in under 6 months including the exact turnaround Plant wined about. Later that year, Canelo got caught up in a legal dispute with DAZN/GB so he wasn't free to negotiate but made it clear all along he was targeting a Dec date. As soon as his situation was settled he sent out offers to the champs. Plant for his part said at the time he had been training and was ready for Dec but played dumb when Al didn't get it done, then turned around and tried to run with the short notice excuse again.

So Plant rejected the opportunity of a lifetime twice without any guarantee that chance would come again. The only reason it got done was Canelo who kept pushing for it and took the initiative of becoming a free agent so he could get past BS roadblocks from guys like Haymon unwilling to cross the street even for their B level guys. Most A side fighters would have told him to kick rocks and he'd go back to his comfort zone of fighting stiffs for peanuts with his protected 0.

These ****y eurobums are so annoying. The 168 division is extremely lame, I will be happy that canelo gets this fight out of the way. 175 are where the real challenges are. Plant is 31 and what are even his top 3 wins? his career is on the downhill slope and hes beat ***ing nobody but grubhub drivers.
