Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez vs. Badou Jack Negotiations Going 'Very Well'

Again, if Bivol asking for 10 million is true, I don't think it's an unreasonable number

I heard Bivol wanted more but can't confirm just rumor....on a side note no Floyd opponent ever got 10mil never!!!

I think Plant and Bjs both got 12-15mil

I hope Jack gets this fight and I hope he wins it. Guy has faced incredibly tough competition in his career and came up on the wrong end of bad scorecards more than once. A true warrior.

Anybody but David Benavidez! Damn shame!

Predictable, Canelo will rather go to the Moon than rematch Bivol or lose to Benavidez, Andrade, Morrell, whoever at 168.

Honestly, badou jack will probably be just too strong, he will retire canelo.

This sounds reasonable. I believe according to reports, Bivol took much less than Saunders or Plant got in the first fight.

That's true

Whack fight, and on top of that, Jack is going to beat Canelo. He should have chosen Benavidez, way more winnable and more fun matchup. Jack can win just as widely as Bivol even though he’s not as good. Canelo is just not great anymore, he’s good. He shouldn’t be fighting dudes that are way bigger than him at this point of his career.

Wise move to Stay away from Bivol. If the loss REALLY mattered to Canelo then money would never have been a obstacle to the rematch. Canelo is clearly on a gradual decline, Saudis will pay big money to stage the fight, its another weight & title to add, badou jack is war torn fighter, much more winnable fight

Far from a wise move. Wise move would have been to forego Bivol to fight Benavidez. Not forego Bivol to fight a Cruiserweight that can beat him.

At a catchweight of course smfh

Canelo doesn`t want to lose his belts in the ring. he knows Benavidez beats him at this point and that Bivol beats him even at 168.

Canelo will rather lose to jack and retire undefeated at 168 with the excuse that he only lost to elite welterweight, the best light heavy and to a cruiserweight.
