Comments Thread For: Hearn Says Canelo-Spence Offer From PBC Smacks of 'Just Desperation'

[Fist_ti_cuffs]

It's frustration. I'm holding PBC's marquee tfughters to a similar standard as other counterparts. MW Charlo for example, more demanding for GGG opposition it seems.

Strange, because Jermall was chasing Canelo and lil g and Jacobs for years and they all refused to face him. Andrade signed with Hearn specifically to fight with Canelo and still ever got the nod.

He's definitely in an ugly position. I don't get it

Vargas, Garcia, Ruiz, jacobs, etc

Vargas and Garcia are promotional free agents. Jacobs left PBC for matchroom. Yes Ruiz was PBC but not a champion,and was offered a shot at a 3 belt unified champion and one of the 2 biggest draws in boxing today, so of course he's gonna be allowed to take that. Interesting that you mention Ruiz, as when he became champion, PBC tried everything to wriggle out of the rematch, to keep those belts hostage lol. I say again. A PBC CHAMPION that voluntarily defends his title against a NON PBC fighter. Name one. Do try harder old bean.

Once again, Haymon isn’t a promoter, he’s a
manager. Your negative opinion of pbc isn’t a factor. All those fighters are still advised by Haymon

Benavidez in LA and Spence in Dallas are probably 75 million each with upside included for Canelo. That looks darn good vs the situation he is in now, thinking about taking another L vs Bivol. His fanboys and riders will settle for a robbery but not the boxing public at large in a rematch. A fool and his ego leads to a Wilder beatdown.

He has a collection of promotional companies at his beck and call that are under his banner as that's the only way they will get network time. So Al says and they do. And when Al says that a champion doesn't get to defend voluntary against a non PBC fighter or unify, then that's the outcome. It's just fact. I really wish it wasn't. I'm not critical of the quality of fighter. And indeed there are many fine in house fights. But there would also be many fine cross promotional fights also. But he doesn't let them happen. And it's ruining the sport. Why is it that Jermell can unify and then fight for undisputed twice, yet Jermall can't get a unification bout? It's so obvious whats going on. And it's dragging boxing down unfortunately.
