Because he makes them money. He made Canelo a bigger star than all of the PBC and Top Rank stables.
He just got Ryan his biggest pay day. He got Ramirez the Bivol fight.
Who has Top Rank and PBC made the face of boxing and a bigger seller than Canelo?
Bro, anyone would’ve made Canelo a star lol. He’s got the looks, skills and he’s Mexican. He had a huge following before he signed with GBP.
He was publicly against making Ryan V Tank. The only person who deserves credit in making that fight is Ryan for forcing everyone’s hand and complying with all demands. GBP is the only promoter to lose an entire roster at once to PBC then lose the face of boxing, P4P fighter during his prime.
For me, Oscar was one of the most exciting fighters in boxing history. He is sounding a bit salty as a promoter though, about Canelo.
As for a fight between Canelo and Bivol at 168lbs, wouldn't advise that for Bivol. At light heavyweight, or don't do it.
I take my hat off to Canelo. Who else was keen on fighting Bivol, even at his weight? Hardly any think they can beat Bivol. Beterbiev is a beast, but a few more probably think they could outbox him.

Oscar, Canelo's next fight has to be very strategic? ALL of his fights were very strategic. You were the master strategist!! You handpicked all his fights -- either smaller guys moving up, guys with no punching power, slow Mexicans, guys with a name who were far past prime, or tea drinking/scone eating British pricks. As soon as Canelo fights any real dudes who can actually box, or anyone in their prime, he struggles or loses- Mayweather, Lara, Trout, GGG I & II, Bivol. His whole career has been strategic. Avoiding Charlo, Andrade, Benavidez, all strategic. And he was juicing lovely, Clenbuterello Alvarez

Pretty much sez it all. The clenbuterol bust taints his record. I'd also add that he was essentially given the vacant WBC 154 belt by Sulaiman, a title fight against former 140 pounder, Matthew Hatton.
He also sat at caneloweight (155) for a few fights.
