Comments Thread For: The Canelo Sweepstakes: Auditions Are Open

Canelo was not in rush to "unify" this s.hitty division when Benavidez was WBC champ.

This division is a crap. Canelo was a split decision machine at 154/160, now he looks like some killing monster. Do the math. These guys like Plant, Saunders are not very good. I mean they are clearly not on GGG`s level.

Trash is the Guy in youre avatar.

I'd like to see Crawford or Spence challenge Canelo at 160. I know he's said his time is done at 160, but I think he'd make the concession. In this day and age it seems unreasonable, but it's really not. Kell Brook did it to fight Golovkin. So many great fighters have done it, why not. There should be way more pressure on these guys to do it, especially since they won't fight each other.

Canelo isn’t making any weight concessions to those guys who they hell are they. Lol

Canelo's last 3 fights have been a combined 75-1 odds. Charlo would add another 15-1 to that. If Benavidez or Bivol want the fight they need to look like a pile of sh**, Canela will duck forever if they look dangerous. The six fights since Golovkin have been money losers. DAZN lost over 100 million dollars on Canelo. We will see if the numbers are ever released for the Plant fight or if they are top secret classified. Seems like it was a money loser. Plant fought like a sparring partner the fight was trash.

I love how Canelo makes you hypocrites lose sleep.

The Canelo sweepstakes. This headline was kinda funny but true. They should plant (no pun intended) a gold ticket in the candy bar wrappers so whoever gets the golden ticket gets to fight Canelo or they should put slot machines in casinos of canelo and whoever matches all of the ginger’s characteristics including his Burger King crown wins the jackpot and a mandatory spot since the boxing organizations make their own rules anyway. In Canelo land anything can happen

Lost 100 million? Based on what? If they lost so much money, why do they continue to chase him? The problem was obviously Golden Boy, DAZN wanted them out of the way. And let me explain something to the Casuals.... Newbies.... PPV, subscription cost, whatever is your way to bring in money, is not the only stream of revenue, You have the PPV, which does bring most of the fighters purses, then you have the gate, and the sponsors, majority of this cash is kept by the promotion, and that's not all, another big chunk of change that the promotion also keeps, is tv rights from networks around the world who pay to show the fight in their country. This cash can range from 500k to 5 million maybe even more depending how big the fight is and who is paying per network. This revenue can reach the tens of millions especially when it comes to the top popular fighters. Point here is that promoters, networks know that Canelo brings in the cash besides the PPV sales, that's why he continues to get courted by many promotions, if Haymon thought that Canelo was losing money over at DAZN, he would of never made that offer, these people are not losing money, sometimes they make less, sometimes they make more, but they make money. It's funny this subject is only brought up by haters who have no facts, but put it out there to make themselves feel better, kinda like you.....

Texas stadium Charlo vs Alvarez 5/07/22

[batista84]

As a fan I want the fights in the next order:

1. May 2022 (Charlo)
2. Sep 2022 (Benavidez)
3. Feb 2023 (Top 10 SMW defense)
4. May 2024 (Bivol/Beterbiev)
5. Sep 2024 (Last guy with a belt at LHW)

Alhtough I don't see Canelo being that effective at LHW, those guys are big.

[Murray Kelm]

I see Joe Smith next ,and if Beterbiev looks poor against Brown, Beterbiev in September

[Boxfan83]

I cant see Charlo fighting Canelo at 168 in May. My assumption is PBC would try to offer Benavidez in May and Charlo in September.

Imo GGG is likely who they want next. Lets just see if GGG prices himself out or not.
