Comments Thread For: Hearn: Canelo Rematch At 175 Biggest Fight For Bivol By A Mile; Hope He Accepts The Challenge

.

The only reason Canelo doesn't want to fight him at 168 is because he doesn't want to get gutted of all his belts (and I don't blame him).

Nelo said his reason not to fight Bivol @ 168 is because he doesn't want to fight a weight drained version of Bivol (tho it's really Bivol INSISTING for a 168 fight) for the satisfaction of his fans ... ahahaha lol

You’re absolutely correct but this is viewed by many in terms of purse. So they see it as Canelo giving Bivol the chance for his biggest payday.

You're correct and I understand this. The disrespect shown to Bivol throughout the entire thing was just unreal and continues to be.

The disrespect they showed to Bivol through that whole fight weekend was astounding though. Having him walk out first and announcing him as American Just off the top of my head

I think at this point, money is only secondary for Bivol who is seeking to become an undisputed champ @ 168... This is Bivol's daring to be great move... Hope Nelo will give other boxers a chance for boxing greatness and not monopolize those daring to be great moments....

Yeah. It was clear he was the opponent despite being the champion. Lol

There’s nowhere else Bivol can make more money than with Canelo. In a fight he would be favored to win again.

It’s a no brainer to take it.

No, the Canelo haters were howling that if the rematch is at 168 then Bivol is being weight-drained.

Now that he’s asking for the rematch to be at 175 they are changing their tune and criticizing that too. Because it’s what haters do.

A weight drained everyone else is fine though

"....But I understand Dmitry’s point of view, but the fact is with the Beterbiev fight not possible, that is the biggest fight by a mile for Dmitry Bivol. I hope that he accepts the challenge."

Gee why is that, Mr. Hearn? Could it be that there is a contractual rematch from your side and Bivol does not want some legal hassle coming his way? Since that is the case, man up and give the proven better fighter in the ring what he wants: A shot at the titles your fighter holds, just like Bivol gave a shot for his at 175.

Bivol could possibly fight for 2 unifications back to back after he beats Canelo again. Why wouldn't he prefer that?

Canelo vs. Bivol @175 is for one title. Canelo vs. Bivol @168 is for Undisputed. Canelo would be in a lose-lose situation at 168.

If Bivol doesn't accept Canelo's terms, what other options does he have? Buatsi (WBA #1) already avoided him, and he's already defeated Ramirez (WBA #3) and Joe Smith (WBA #5). Bolotniks (WBA #4) just lost to a returning Gvozdyk. Maybe we get Bivol/Gvozdyk?

Bivol should just demand more money and accept the fight.
