Comments Thread For: Benavidez Promoter: David Reduced Purse Demand To Make Canelo Fight Happen

[factsarenice]

My entire perception of David Benavidez is shot to hell...

[Kartier_3we]

The fact that people are such idiots in thinking canelo is “scared” to fight Charlo or Benavidez is ridiculous! Charlo will have issues with Plant or Callum Smith! The fact that these divas think they can get a huge pay day for fighting NOBODIES and then want canelo to come to them with the huge payday is rediculous! Go build your own name and brand beat someone why dont they fight each other? Charlo vs Benavidez? They both under the same banner should be an easy fight to make! Stop bsing CBS owns this site so they will promote this narrative of canelo is “ducking” any fighter that is attached to showtime banner also owned by cbs! Espinoza is a cancer and should be FIRED! Stop funding showcase fights and make Charlo and Benavidez fight each other or fight someone with a pulse!

Benavidez goes from boogeyman to bum the second he becomes front runner for a Canelo fight.

Guaranteed.

Boogeyman? Benavidez is fighting a tailor-made guy on the down side that got his ass kicked at middleweight.

Interesting Interview here:

Sampson saying Canelo was offered MORE than what is Reported for Benavidez and Benavidez was/is willing to take Low Pay to make it happen. Interesting!

These are fights fans want to see and even Reynoso already came out and said Charlo is the Biggest Fight. It is completely up to Canelo and what he wants to do. I personally don't consider it a Duck going up to fight Bivol at 175 that is a Risk as well BUT if he fights Ryder in the UK in May then we have to call BS

The Andrade stuff is very confusing though, if Benavidez wants to fight him then you make it, I think Benavidez breaks Andrade down and stop him personally but yeah of course Benavidez won't take a Paycut for Andrade like he is willing to do vs Canelo of course not

What the? No....Not of course!

Benavidez makes less fighting Canelo and more money fighting a blown up middleweight "because he's dangerous." That doesn't make financial sense at all.....it's a naked duck, plan and simple.

This is the problem with too many sanctioning bodies, they all rank a respective fighter differently, so inevitably at least one will make him a mandatory. There needs to be a better system in play where fighters earn their shot by climbing their way up the rankings beating the best of their colleagues. Someone wants the shot at 168 lb. title? Have Benavidez, beat someone for that shot...Charlo, Plant, Ryder, Saunders. Ideally I want to see Benavidez and Charlo in an elimination bout, winner gets Canelo, but that will never happen. Charlo is a joke.

I understand you are angry and frustrated, I don't know why you are but I understand that you are. They were both good offers from DAZN and the PBC and it appears he has chosen the DAZN one this time.

I also would of preferred he choose the PBC option, I particularly want to see him cave in the face of Jermall Charlo cuz he's a noncey cvnt but hey ho I look forward to any of the 4 fights he could of had here.

I’m not angry at all. I’m just asking the typical Canelo fans who love to act like every dangerous option for Canelo is somehow not worthy of him, what excuses they have now as to why Benavidez isn’t a fight Canelo should take. I’ve already heard everything from he’s not a champion to he’d be easily beaten by Canelo so why bother. Either way Canelo is in tough vs bivol or Benavidez but I personally think Benavidez is the most dangerous option and enjoy watching Canelo fans do mental gymnastics in order to minimize him as an option.

This has been a nice promotion on behalf of Benevidez. Keeps his name out there and will garner no negative consequence in the future. Smart move on his and his mangers part.

Everyone wants to follow a fighter that avoids competition, a naked duck a-w-a-y-s gets the word out.

Andrade is already being ducked in a division he's not even in yet!

[archiemoore1]

David, Clenelo is running from u like he did from GGG. He waited years and years until ppl were thoroughly disgusted with him avoiding GGG. He tried to wait until he thought GGG got old and lost a step, and until Canelo was more into his prime. His plan didn't work. He felt that power and started running like a thief in the ring against GGG in their 1st fight. And he's run from u until he can'r run no more. He doesn't care that ppl are disgusted with his running. He has no pride, no shame. He only cares about trying to get any advantage that he can, even if that means waiting someone out for years. He waited for u to lose ur title, then all of a sudden, he became available to fight for it.

[TinAgeOfBoxing]

168 division is trash. Benavidez has done nothing, he has fought only third rate chumps. He has a worse resume than Plant and Saunders. His professional liar promoter implying he is better than Bivol LOL. Bivol would not duck Andrade. This Lewkowics is embarrassing Benavidez every time he opens his mouth.
