Comments Thread For: Bivol: If Canelo Wants The Rematch, OK; But I Didn't Want It So Much; I Have My Own Way

[garfios]

just dont understand why he wouldnt take the 175 rematch and payday with canelo, its baffling really, his reasons dont fill u with confidence really either

He asked for more money and canelo wanted the exactly same contract. He, bivol even offered to come down to 168, old news, canelo didn't budge, by the way he never exercise his rematch option he let it expired and try to make the fight under the same stipulations.

What payday? Bivol was offered the same purse as the first fight. 2m

That’s a good payday.

What were Bivol's better options? He only made $500,000 against Zurdo.

I sit unemployed for 1 year instead

the thing is just weird, if i was bivol and canelo said to me, i will only give u the same pay as last fight even tho u kicked my ass, i would be going straight to the media saying this clown wont offer me a fair price and wont budge from his pay offer, instead i read bivol wants 168, canelo says no to 168 so bivol 'should' say, ok u wont fight me at 168 then up your pay for 175 gingerino and lets do this, that should be the bottom line, but i didnt hear that from bivol, looks to me like he just walked away

"looks to me like he just walked away"... yes exactly!


"The unbeaten Kyrgyzstan native views a rematch with Alvarez as a fight that the Mexican icon needs, not him, because Bivol won their 12-round, 175-pound championship match so convincingly."

maybe he could have then flexed that muscle and demanded say 5 mil for the rematch, thats what i would have done anyway

I find it hilarious that Bivol is telling us that he doesn't want to give Canelo a rematch even though Canelo did everything possible for the rematch and Bivol put the kibosh on it and yet people on here still blame Canelo and are saying that he doesn't want that smoke.... Just goes to show how Canelo haters logic works.... Baffling really.

Canelo gets what Canelo wants
Let’s not kid ourselves
This has nothing to do with hate , only common sense

he did and canelo said no that's why he walked.

Bivol pretty much admitting he never really wanted to run it back with the ginger even tho knowing thats another career record purse for a 'relatively' light work...or maybe it wasn't that 'light' after all at least from his 'fighter perspective'.

[hugh grant]

Your a gent bivol. Another guy who beat nelo refused to give rematch under any circumstances

[Spray_resistant]

Canelo seemed to want the rematch but only under his terms and it doesn't work that way. You want something from someone you have to make some concessions but his ego wouldn't let that happen.
