He absolutely did ,but question remains, why he didn't want the same weight terms? If its your division and you already beat him once at it? It was supposed to be an easier pay day right? Now hes about to fight some random dude for peanuts.Comment

canelos done this his whole career, jumping up and down weight classes and imposing catchweights when he sees an opportunity for a belt or when he sees a fighter is on the slide... very rare to see him step in with a top prime fighter and when he does he ends up losingComment

Not excusing Canelos demands but wasn't Bivol the guy who turned down Canelo because Bivol didn't want the fight at 175, his natural weight? I mean I wouldn't be critical of other fighters if I was Bivol. And from what I read from reliable sources ( not some idiot on Twitter) is that Canelo wasn't necessarily looking to face Jack, when PBC and Canelos camp were talking, PBC brought up the idea to Canelo and Canelo threw some ideas on weight, they didn't agree and they moved on to the next guy, I wouldn't call it demands....Comment

I seem to recall WBC lowering the cruiserweight limit back to the historical level of 190. Anyone remember the details of that?Comment

He's not in it for the money. He said he gave Canelo a shot at his belt and beat Ginger comprehensively. He wants to remove the excuses that Canelo was a smaller man and beat Canelo at his best weight and take his belts there.
Frankly I think that's understandable. I also understand why Canelo would want to try to get it back at 175 and why he'd be afraid to lose everything at 168 to a man who crushed him with ease before also.Comment
