Comments Thread For: Tom Brown: We Offered Canelo $45M For Charlo; $55M For Spence At 164 Or Benavidez At 168

[sicko]

OK well PBC, take all that F^cking Money and give us:
Spence vs Crawford
Benavidez vs Charlo

No Excuses! They don't even NEED Canelo if their top guys agree to fight each other! Charlo vs Benavidez has a huge Buzz for it, announce that NEXT don't wait

as for Canelo, try again Next Year once his 3 fight deal with DAZN is up again but Charlo vs Benavidez needs to happen first in which the winner of that will have fans applying pressure for Canelo to go ahead and fight the winner and I think Canelo would take it

So when Canelo moves up to fight its fine.
But wait, when Spence does it - not cool.

I would have rather seen Canelo vs Charo/Spence/ Benavides over him vs Bivol and GGG again.

I don't think anyone has an issue with Spence going to 164. Hard to criticize him for moving up and trying to defeat someone like Canelo (and also getting the payday involved). I think the question is whether that is a competitive fight for Canelo. I'm no Canelo fan but people would have criticized him for fighting a welterweight.

If Canelo beats Bivol- which is a tougher fight by far than Charlo or Spence, by far!! This is as close to a 50/50 fight with Canelo moving up to #175. And if he wins and beats Golovkin, who still is the best middleweight hands down and then fights Beterbiev, the most feared fighter in the world hands down , that would be the biggest streak of champions (3 at #168 ) in a long long time, maybe ever.

PBC has plenty of flaws, but it’s hilarious to read the race-baiting hatred it draws on this site. PBC isn’t the boxing promotional company that has been scurrying to play down or deny past reported business relationships with an alleged global mob leader who has had a $5 million bounty placed on his head. (That would be Top Rank
Matchroom and Queensbury). Nor is PBC the promotional company with a CEO who is now facing allegations of sexual assault. (That would be Golden Boy). It’s so funny!

Spence @164? What a murderers row.

Dude, you are talking about a WW moving up to 164!! At this point, there is no effin way Spence beats Canelo. How can you clamor for such a fight?
I am not interested in Canelo vs GGG but Bivol is a belt holder at LHW and Canelo is open to unifying the 175 division vs Beterbiev.
Charlo is a good fight but it’s not the all-defining fight that enhances Canelo’s resume.

More important, why can’t Charlo fight Benavidez so the winner can force a fight with Canelo?
What many haters are trying to sell is for Canelo to line up Charlo, Benavidez, Beterbiev, Andrade, Spence (!!), and all the boogeymen that keep getting propped up.
Why can’t some of these guys fight each other? Aren’t they all at the top with Canelo?? Why are they fighting nondescripts? Benavidez is fighting Lemiux and no one is criticizing that fight.

Truer words have never been spoken.

TBH, I'm a fan of Canelo, but if he takes on just one more bum, I'm going to start accusing him of handpicking who he believes to be easy opponents, rather than taking on a challenge that the fans want to see him in the ring with.

[DaNeutral.]

Lol Tom Brown sounds salty as fkk. Canelo is a multi millionaire but wants to win titles at LHW. Benavidez isn't there, Charlo isn't there and Errol fkking Spence is a long way off 175.

At least it's getting acknowledged more and more; how about these guys fighting each other?

Alvarez isn't going back to 160 so, for instance, Charlo needs to move up and beat a top 168-er and earn a shot.

Why not Benevidez?
