Comments Thread For: Canelo Says Bivol Made Rematch Negotiations Hard: 'I Tried My Best' To Make Deal Happen

[crimsonfalcon07]

Bivol's been calling for a Beterbiev fight since at least 2021. Before that, he was lined up for a unification against Kovalev before the latter's surprise loss to Eleider Alvarez. He's been looking for unification bouts ever since he got the title. GTFO with this crap that he's afraid of Beterbiev. He's been calling for the fight, and Bob Arum is scared of that fight, so much so that he's using the Russian invasion as an excuse to avoid the fight, as if Bivol is a personal hitman for *****. Not to mention the WBC is protecting Beterbiev too.

He already fought once and destroyed the guy while Canelo.was Fighting nobodies..

Bivol thought he could dictate terms to Canelo and blew that opportunity.

Now he is sitting around doing nothing and not earning any money.

Mate, we are boxing fans, not contract negotiation fans. The only reason Canelo is "worth" more than Bivol after getting his ass kicked against him is because of casuals. If he really wanted the fight (which he didn't) he would have grown a pair and paid Bivol what he's worth and made the fight, but you know, it makes for a convenient excuse that casuals lap up so....

He's worth what he brings in, which is very little.

Canelo offered him more than he will get paid in any other fight.

Stop trying to justify this duck.

The FACT is that Bivol ducked the rematch.

It's funny how you try to take the "higher" road by saying we as fans should not be concerned about the business.

That's a bunch of bullocks.

Of course we should pay attention to the business because that's how you know who is ducking.

If you get offered several times more money than you'll ever make anywhere else and still reject the offer, then you're the one ducking.

He hasn't fought Beterbiev yet, and it's not even on the horizon, yet he's turning down offers from Canelo! That's wild!

What 's wild is being told by a major sanctioning body that he can't fight for undisputed if he fights Beterbiev because of a war that has nothing to do with either one of them. But, you avoided the clear points I made about the LHW division and the difference between becoming a 4 division champion.

Floyd never got credit for his win over Canelo because they said he "weight-drained" him at 152, when Canelo was fighting 154! Now imagine if Canelo beat Bivol @ 168? He made an offer to fight him @ 175! Should've been an easy decision to make!

Floyd definitely gets ALL the credit for beating Cinnabon across ALL boxing media and pundits continuously. The only ones that I have seen even try to challenge with such nonsense excuses are diehard Canelo defenders that are laughed at openly by their colleagues. Floyd was also in his late thirties and made it look like a cakewalk. Totally different levels.

I know what I read on this site, on the DAILY! They brought up again when Tank fought Ryan! Look, i'm not a die-hard Canelo fan, but even I know, that when you get an offer to fight Canelo, you don't turn that down! When you get an offer to fight Fury, you don't turn that down! Tank is getting to that level too! Bivol is NOT on that level! It's a very bad business decision on his part! He already knew he wasn't getting Beterbiev, before he turned down Canelo! That makes it extra ******!

More people who can't see past money. It's like they don't understand the concept of fighting for legacy, and proving yourself against the best. Bivol beat him comprehensively. He gets nothing other than a paycheck vs a guy he already beat decisively, other than a chance to get robbed by corrupt judging. I'm not going to judge prize fighters who do want to treat it as a business, because that's absolutely their right. But you should also be able to acknowledge that other people may have different motivations.

He didn't turn down Canelo, he beat and embarrassed him, EASILY. Now, with that already in the books, he wanted the same opportunity that he gave to Cinnabon in the first fight, a chance to fight for Canelo's belts, and if not, then something more monetary to justify giving Cinnabon another chance at his.

As far as what's posted on this site daily that you read, you and I know these are some of the most hateful, biased, and ignorant posters around. Why would you expect them to give Floyd credit for anything? They just called Spence a bum that was never skilled after receiving his only loss to a great champion, disregarded that he beat 3 champions for 3 belts like it was nothing.
