oh dear this just gets worse and worse it seems

Didn't Sweet Cheeks and Cub Charlo get 10 million? I think the Benavidez fight is more marketable, right?

Ducked Golovkin for years (twice), ducked the Bivol rematch, now left PBC to avoid fighting Benavidez.

How long are people going to keep making excuses for this clown?

One would think so, but Benavidez v Andrade did crap numbers. They probably lost money on it. Wonder if that has something to do with all this.

It’s not up to Canelo to offer Benavidez anything. That’s Haymon’s job. Canelo as a free agent gets his guaranteed money for showing up, he’s not negotiating the other side of the card.

If Benny got lowballed then he should talk to uncle Al.

Benavidez vs. Plant didn't do great either. David's star-power isn't growing due to PBC's over-reliance on PPV. There's no reason why he should be on PPV for Plant and Andrade.

He agreed to the lowball. Why the fight is not made?

Same guy who said his promoter sent Canelo a $50 million offer than backtracked.

Or most likely Haymon doesn’t have the money to fund the fight and Amazon won’t pay for it.

It was senior who said they agreed to the $5M, has been said that ginger only wants to fight charlo, and reynoso just confirmed that canelo doesn't want to fight benavidez. Everything points to ginger not want to risk an A$$ whooping, and money is not the motive. Why canelo's fans are still condoning his behavior is beyond my understanding, the guy has a knock for facing the least risky fighters and has never faced an elite in his prime boxer, well he did fight Lara, but he needed help with the scorecards. The guy has no shame.
