Comments Thread For: Canelo's Good 'If I Need To Fight [On] Showtime, With PBC, Or [On] DAZN, With Eddie Hearn'

A lot of hate out there for the White Mexican. ha ha Are these boxing fans or identity politicians? Anyway Canelo is a hell of a fighter--it can't be disputed.

Espinoza really seems to be pursuing Canelo, Hearn seems to be holding on to nothing more than the label of being canelo’s promoter even when this fight is the largest guarantee of canelo’s career and he will make a lot more on sponsorship, percentages of ppv and gate. It’s going to be hard for Canelo to have a sense of “loyalty” to Hearn with none of this in the picture. The buildup with be a reintroduction bog Canelo to the American sports fan

You are absolutely right. Personally, I think DAZN just may be on their way out of business. The problem is that they cannot seem to attract enough casual viewers stateside on the underground web on its app. Most Americans don't even watch boxing anymore. It's no longer a mainstream sport here like American Football and College Football and the NBA..

Facts. Canelo fighting champ after champ in his prime. Meanwhile we got Pac fighting bums like Clottey,Rios,Algeiri and Vargas in his prime. Levels.

Another cok sucker who claims to be a boxing fan. Did you just try to shhhh on pacquiao to make Canelo seem special? How about this 8 division champ, 0 failed tests. Suck that…respect that man’s name chump. Canelo ain’t done with his career, y’all focus on his last six or eight opponents like his record ain’t filled with 36 fighters who had no place in the ring with him as well. He’s a special fighter with ****** fans.

Gotta give Canelo a lot of credit, it seems he will fight just about anybody. Some might say he avoided Andrade, but I think he beats him.

He fought and beat Golovkin in the rematch. Yes, the first fight was a debatable decision, but he fought head on with GGG in the rematch.

If, and it's an if, he can beat Plant, I think he would be open to Benavidez, Charlo, Bivol and Beterbiev.

You are the boss until you sign a contract where someone else cuts you a check for your services. So until he’s the one cutting checks, he’s a worker like the rest of us. No diss, just facts. Boxers will never be their own bosses til they are the ones paying out for services not the other way around.I had this same argument with someone. Whom ever owns the fight footage at the end of a bout is the boss. You got paid to appear on it for the boss.

I Disagree
Floyd Mayweather dictated what he got paid and he was his own Boss
If Canelo does the same
He's his own Boss Peroid

The Chargers suck. The ****** in San Diego and will continue to suck in LA.

That said, yes Manny is pretty up ahead of Canelo, but Canelo is creeping up.

Smart move. He doesn’t need to be tied to one promoter or one network. He learned his lesson with the DAZN/GGG nonsense.
He is a free agent for every fight and can have a bidding war for his services. Set his terms and take the best deal.

I think a lot of Canelo's future with the PBC depends on what this Caleb Plant fight does at the gate / PPV. Truth is they're throwing Canelo the brinks truck to fight a guy he's a +1000 favorite (right now) over. They're also going up against a major UFC PPV the same night. I'd argue this fight will likely do less business than Wilder v Fury 3 (600K PPV buys). The only two fights I feel the PBC can provide that have some intrigue are David Benavidez & Jermall Charlo. But even with those two right now, Benavidez brings nothing to the table outside of being undefeated and losing the belt on the scales and Jermall is coming off a pretty lackluster performance. Does either fight generate 500-600K on PPV even by Spring / Fall 2022? Just things I'm assuming the PBC / Al Haymon would consider if this PPV is flop city.
