Never a mandatory but a "mandatory" ... they just tell the wbc or whoever to make bum x a "mandatory" to somehow sell the excuse. Just like Avni Yildirim who was a "mandatory" yet he was coming off a loss to Dirrell and got KTFO by a Brit bum a few fights earlier as well.
Canelo versus Ryder does a little over 200,000 pay-per-view buys

I mean.. 200k for a matchup like this is a success. The only price I would pay for it would be $1Comment

Ryder got the Canelo fight because he was the WBO interim champion and Canelo's WBO mandatory defence was due.
Ryder won the WBO interim title after stepping in to replace Demetrius Andrade who withdrew himself from an interim title fight vs Zach Parker because he said the purse wasn't high enough.
Do you think "they" told Andrade to withdraw from that interim title fight so Ryder could beat Parker and get a shot at Canelo instead of Boo Boo?Last edited by kafkod; 05-13-2023, 08:46 AM.Comment

I still haven't seen it and can watch it for free now but won't. Still have not seen the Yildrim and Fielding fights. And Im a Canelo fanComment

It was the WBO and He stepped up because like ALWAYS Andrade ducks a fight. Andrade has ducked at least 7 last minute. Lara, Sergiy, Charlo, Parker, Janibek, Korobov., Falcao Why even waste the time and $$$$ training to fight Andrade to just have him back out???

I one was convinced this would be a competitive fight or a deserving one for Ryder. It’s time for Canelo to get in with Bivol or Benavidez. One more loss and I think he strongly considers retirement. Unless he starts going the Youtuber route.Comment

I think they put things in the contract to make Andrade have to refuse.

Now of course he should’ve taken whatever to get that fightComment

He withdrew straight after Queensbury won the purse bid for the fight with a bid that would have given Andrade less $200k. That would have been more than Parker got from the mandated split, but evidently, it wasn't enough for Andrade.Comment
