[Gideon lock]

Him and his team straight degenerates

Based on what you idiot.

Good question. He was definitely drunk, slurring his words and answering like he was high. Mannix should have realized David was sauced and not interviewed him but he did. Not sure why he felt compelled to apologize, maybe because of his history?

His history definitely compelled him. Being publicly intoxicated while he has a rumored bout...implies a lack of discipline. He's already been penalized for ******* use and not making weight, so people are going to wonder if he's matured at all. Additionally, this is the result of using Canelo's name to artificially boost his name value. Benavidez has more attention/hype surrounding him now than ever before, so he's under a microscope. His team wants him to be a cash-cow so badly, well this is the level of attention that comes with it.

No need to apoligize, he was a fan that day, his family was there. He deserves to drink a beer just like any other person. Peopl on this forum criticizing him look ridiculous as if they were perfect. He was not training and yes, selling beer is what gives money to the venues were the fights are happenning.

I think if he had drunk just a beer or two, there wouldn't have been a peep out of anyone. Remember, it was Benavidez himself who felt compelled to apologise after seeing the footage back. I don't think anyone is demanding he has to apologise. There's failure on the part of DAZN to do some diligence ahead of the interview, but ultimately if anyone appears on TV when they are so soused that they can't work the muscles of their face enough to get intelligible words out, it's a bad look, let alone when we are talking about a professional athlete.

I remember back when Spence , Tank and Broner were on t.v drunk.

Although they were also at a fight posters on here were giving them shet.

Looks like David gets a pass.

Add the Charlos to the list.

David is getting so much of a pass that he's apologizing lol

2 time undefeated WBC super middleweight champion. Multi millionaire in his mid 20's. World famous and recognized figure in society. Total ****ing loser obviously! Must really suck being that guy.

Why is he undefeated and 2 time though? LOL.

World famous and recognized figure in society.

Bullsh.it, he could walk up and down any public crowded city street and he's never get asked for an autograph or selfie from random people.

Yeah, it does suck to have vices and to put poisons into your body and not being able to control how much you consume.

[Poopdick]

A guy who’s last fight bombed so bad Haymon had him relegated to an undercard is Canelo’s biggest fight? Hilarious.

It’s a big fight for boxing fans but casuals DGAF about David Benavidez. Canelo’s making his $40-50 million no matter who he fights. He doesn’t need anyone at this point in his career.

All this is just fallacy and deflection to excuse Canelo ducking the fight. The facts are, it's the fight fans are calling for. Canelo didn't ask for 200 Mill for no reason. It's because he knows he can't win. He'd take it and bath in the glory of beating him if he could do it. But all he's done is make an absolute fool of himself. You're doing likewise in order to defend him. It's embarrassing.

The WBC are corrupt and know they should be calling for the mandatory like they promised. But guess what, they haven't. Canelo should be stripped. The same with the WBA that has Morrell as the number 1 for 3 years. But go on, continue to mention money that Canelo makes. Money you won't see a dime of. How you can do that as an adult is absolute shameful. But hilarious at the same time watching you and Canelo being forced to clown yourselves. No pride what-so-ever.

Benny is another dumbass for apologizing
You guys make it out to be a murder

Good point. I was surprised Mannix went ahead with it. I'm sure someone went up to Benavidez before Mannix spoke to him. If it was obvious to me on my couch after a couple glasses of wine, it should have been obvious to DAZN.
