Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez on Turki Alalshikh: 'It's his problem, not mine. I didn't ask for a fight'

[champion4ever]

I would like to have Canelo randomly drug tested if he ever decides to fight Terence Crawford though.

Canelo has not been randomly drug tested for almost an entire decade.

The last time he was randomly drug tested was during Golovkin/Canelo II where he popped dirty for clenbuterol.

[SUBZER0ED]

Crawford is just looking for a Pay Day. If you agree with that because is PRIZE FIGHTING then Pay Canelo what he is asking for. He wants to get payed as well.

How come no one talks about how Benavidez and Morrell are ducking each other, it's all about the Money not about being great.

Canelo doesn't really care, he is already retire from competitive fights, just making easy fights Mayweather style.

He can make more money fighting Conor McNuggets and Fake Paul.

If Crawford wants to be even greater for Legacy he can become undisputed at 154, but we all know is about the money.

The WBC, WBA, WBO can easily strip Canelo, but they won't because they want PAY DAY. They are the ones to blame for not doing "anything" about the cituation. Canelo is just playing with them.

That's the problem, isn't it? Bud is 37 and wants a huge retirement check, while Canelo is the big Kahuna of boxing and also wants a huge check. Then you have Alalshiek, who is filthy rich, and he's likely the only person in the world willing to finance such an expensive event. So, he wants his respect as the financier, Canelo wants his respect as the cash cow, and Bud just wants to retire super rich. Canelo's ego clashing with Turki's ego is what is killing this fight that Crawford would lose anyway.

Canelo doesn't bend because he is getting huge pay checks with him in control. Doubt that they will give that up and he is not falling for the dangling cheese.

The problem with that is he runs the risk of being blacklisted from the sport. Boxing promoters would duck for cover and no longer fuck with him if they can’t get that Saudi money.

He might as well face it. Your Excellency has changed the entire landscape of the sport. No way will they side with Canelo Alvarez over Turki Alalshikh.

That is what Eddie Hearn was trying to tell him. It’s time for him to fight someone who is both competitive and good because his gravy train is now officially over!

Canelo is getting to the end of his career. He might have one or two fights left. Also saying no makes them give you more money.

thats not how it works canelo

turki does the offering and the boxer accepts the deal opponent or doesnt

u & tank i think are the only guys to rebuff turki & his quest to make fights

he should just leave the 2 of u alone i would say

[boxingitis]

You should be more original, I can't even say nice try. That's ancient history. His first fight with Morrell Jr. Move forward two more fights and that's when everything was exposed. But you knew this, I'm not a newbie nor a 17yo like you.

Man Let Mr Turki make it Next. Sure, Benavidez running from Morrell, but willing to Face the winner of Bivol vs Beterbiev. You must be a st_pid mthfk. Put them as the co main of Bivol vs Beterbiev

[Brian T]

Canelo has been making it clear since the Bivol fight, that he will only fight 'tomato cans', proven 2nd level fighters or those with losing records.

We're with you bud, because you are the 'face of boxing' who occasionally uses peds.

Next stop, the Hall Of Fame.....ahem...cough, cough.

[Phase III]

I don’t like the way Canelo is looking for the most money against mismatch opponents. But, I applaud him for putting Turkie in his place. Turkie obviously knows very little about making fights that make sense. He’s talking like a petulant child who is spoiled and gets upset when he doesn’t get what he wants.

The Canelo v Crawford fight was a ridiculous idea from the start. Canelo has taught Turkie that money can’t buy you everything. For standing up to this Turkey, telling him its my way, not your way, bravo Canelo. Respect!

[crimsonfalcon07]

I will say the man has a point that he didn't ask for a fight. He's getting paid plenty fighting crap opponents, and he's also right that he'd never get any credit for beating Crawford, especially after that Madrimov performance. Bud still chasing that after failing to dominate at 154 smacks of cash out chasing, and would likely look like Charlo v Canelo. It was always Stoopid, as was Inoue v Tank.

[tomhawq]

Turki is no longer interested in the Canelo/Bud fight. Maybe PBC is interested. Go for it. Fans want it.
