Comments Thread For: 'Canelo' Alvarez-Terence Crawford ruled out by Saudi Arabian powerbrokers

[Knuckle sandwich]

Vergil Ortiz jr is the only lower weight class boxer that will put up a good fight against clenelo. Am i the only one that thinks that ?

Agreed, shame this fight won't happen

[Phase III]

Hard to believe that it took all this time for Turkie to understand that Canelo v Crawford was a fight that only a fan boy like him thought was a good idea.

Crawford v Boots and Canelo v Benevidez are the two fights Turkie least talks about and the ones most every Boxing fan wants.

Funny! Though I don't agree. All I know is that the Saudis are finally giving us fights that we want.

Exactly, just like East India Company brought the whole British Empire the textiles & s pices etc that they wanted

Yes ! Reality rules ! Crawford has his lane and it ain't 168 !

[Jab jab boom]

It came from his mouth on the radio show yesterday or whenever it was that he feels he's earned the right to pick who he wants to fight now as he knows he's the biggest name in boxing. That means, fights he will win. Do you think with the money he's making these days, that he wants to put himself through a bloodbath where he has to go to war with someone who’s on his equal? No way. This dude going to cash out millions all the way into the sunset.

Yeah I think that’s a pathetic approach because both mayweather and Cotto were in the same position at an older age than canelo is now and allowed him a shot to build himself up. He’s not willing to do the same.

It’s a case of Canelo simply pricing himself out. One can say what they will but the Saudis are very shrewd businessmen unlike other promoters. They just simply refuse to throw good money after bad. Especially in light of the fact when being fleeced by a fighter who doesn’t want to fight anybody good.

Lol they don’t wanna Crawford get ragdolled and mauled by canelo. I guess turkey saw Crawford vulnerable last Saturday against a guy that is nowhere near as strong or good as canelo

That’s not the case at all. It’s just that Canelo’s refusal
to negotiate in good faith by not fighting anyone who he perceives as a potential threat or risk to him.

For example: Two hundred fifty million dollars to fight David Benavidez man? Can he be serious? If that’s his bottom line. Then who the fuck needs him?

Soon he will find out that all roads leads to his Excellency.

[champion4ever]

well

no Alvarez fight

this increases the likelihood of Israil rematch

Yes or either Vergil Ortiz.

[champion4ever]

Turki is basically saying that he doesn't think Crawford has a good chance of beating Canelo, so he's not making that fight.

Not rocket science.

I think he'd love to make Crawford vs Ortiz vs Boots. Also, Canelo vs Benavidez, at whatever weight.

Morrell's stock dropped a tad.

Wrong! Judging by Turki’s comments; He has all but cancelled Canelo Alvarez by never promoting any of his fights. Simply because he refuses to negotiate in good and specifically for being a professional asshole!

Some people on here still kissing the ring and bowing to Saudi money .Shameful. Just for the sake of entertainment they're willing to rationalize and sell out .
