Comments Thread For: Team Bivol: Canelo Talking About Rematch Was Always Just a Front For the Fans

[Greenfield02]

This guy was the one who turned down the fight and he's out here bit*****. I think he's finally realized it was a horrible money move on his part.

Ahhh…. It must feel good sitting at the top of the boxing world You were told what to do and you didn’t do it, now beat it. All them dollars flying past you now smart guy.

For some people this is boxing and we want to see the best fighting the best, not a bingo card to make money.

All of you Clenelo lovers are so ****** talking about money and not the sport.

Bivol would sweep the floor with Ginger and he doesn't have to concede to any BS. He already f'd clenelo hard.

Seems they could have called Canelo's bluff if they wanted the fight. I don't see the problem with offering the same terms. He was the champion when he accepted the terms the first time and he's champion now. Probably the biggest payday he has had or can get and Bivol says he isn't about money anyway. I'm not sure of the logic of Bivols management, is he gonna get a better offer somewhere else?

Who ****ing cares. Canelo is absolutely not beating any good fighters at this point in his career and he's ran like a ***** from Beterbiev and Bivol to bring another smaller guy up. Classic Canelo. Hasn't beaten anyone good in years.

If Canelo and his team were confident he could beat Bivol now, they absolutely would have pushed for the rematch. But even at 168 he'd probably also lose and that would be absoluely devasting for him. Him saying he wouldn't get any credit for beating Bivol at 168 is also just a front for his fans.

Good for Bivol not accepting the rematch on the same terms. I wonder though if he is regretting that now that Canelo is clearly going in another direction. The fight to make for him is with Beterbiev. I understand why the Spence/ Crawford took so long but i'm not sure about this one.

So true .... Nelo just fooling his fans of blabbing that he gonnna rematch Bivol....

[HungryLionCharlo]

Bivol should just go to 168 and request a title shot based on his current status as champion he would become the mandatory and force bumnelo

WRONG! only wbo champions have that priviledge

All of You saying Bivol should have accepted same term is really baffling to Me.

Look the first time Bivol was just taken advantage of due to his piety and calmness. Caleb Plant got 10 million dollars to fight Canelo plus percentage of the fight fee also BJS got about 8 - 10 million dollars for his fight. Meanwhile Bivol got 2 million dollars the first time and it's obvious he was screwed and cheated the first time coz his team was not harsh in negotiations like BJS and Plant team. I remember BJS threatening to opt out for that fight if he was paid less. So it's only fair that Bivol got paid more this time at least of around 5 million dollars if at all Canelo wanted to fight Bivol BADLY.

The point of this fight wasn't even about the weight class coz Mauricio Suleiman has already poured cold water on the fight saying WBC won't sanction both fight for Bivol at 168 with Canelo and 175 with Beterbiev thereby killing every options for undisputed fight. So the fight with Canelo was to take place at 175 where Bivol is already 175 WBA super champion. Bivol deserves better.

Bivol is right not to accept such terms from Canelo coz it will set future precedent of champions getting screwed in negotiations. Sometimes principle is everything. Before he fought Canelo he was doing fine and he never was crazed about fighting Canelo. It was Canelo who wanted to fight him thinking he was easy target.

Canelo was the one ranting that he wanted to fight Bivol BADLY at 175 rematch so it was right to add more zeros to the dollars to suit Bivol as per champion and as per winning the first fight in convincing fashion.

Eddie Hearn too must be blamed for allowing Bivol to be low-balled in this negotiations. He suppose to help Bivol earn more in this supposed rematch instead he was kissing Canelo's azz and kept quiet.

Nelo: I badly wanted to defeat Bivol in a rematch fight... Bivol should accept the same terms or I will fight boxers from lower divisions...

lol

What do you mean who cares? You obviously care and so do Bivols team, hence the comments. The fact that Bivol was made an offer is quite relevant.

[CasperUK]

Canelo ALWAYS had options.

Bivol did not. He needed to beat Canelo again to become a top star in the sport but that never happened.

Now he needs to focus on a unification fight with Beterbiev via hook or crook.
