Comments Thread For: Turki Alalshikh with message for Tim Tszyu and hits back at Canelo Alvarez

[Makaveli7]

Y’all casual fans are ******! Canelo is a duck and been a duck. Stop giving that 2x steroid cheater excuses.

[Mr WorldWide]

Seriously, the guy needs a PR team.

No he doesn't. I like the transparency. After all, its his money that's funding the fights.

[Bronx2245]

Huh? Canelo wants the money for fighting lesser talents. Turki wants to give him money to fight big fights with top tier opponents.

It looks like it’s about ducking. Which is worse. Right?

You're on point! Haymon has not done a good job with this Canelo contract! How does Canelo sign with PBC, and NOT face Benavidez, nor Morrell Jr.? That said, Turki is trying to do to Boxing, what the Saudis did to Golf! Not sure if that's a good thing?

[Bronx2245]

I’d like to see Canelo v Morrell or Benavidez, but fighting someone who just came up from welterweight isn’t the fight I want to see nor do I think Crawford would make it out of the 3rd round of Canelo pressed the fight. If Turki was serious and not acting like a dictator he would work with Haymon to make one of those two fights and in vegas with a co promotion between Riyadh Season and PBC. I suspect there are a couple of promoters on dazn who are advising him against such an endeavour

I don't usually disagree with you, but I would rather see Canelo vs. Crawford, than Canelo vs. Berlanga, and Canelo vs. Munguia! I thought Canelo signing to PBC meant he was going to fight Benavidez and Morrell Jr., not Charlo, Munguia, and Berlanga! Haymon has let him off the hook, which is why everyone is falling in love with "His Excellency!"

Yeaa straight duck. Fought Floyd Mayweather at 23 years old. Fought Shane mosley, Miguel Cotto, Erislandy Lara, Gennady Golovkin. Unified the whole super middleweight division. Fought Sergey Kovalev, fought Dmitry Bivol. Man that’s a duck resume……..man he’s such a duck……..

people are falling in love with “his excellency” for socio-political reasons, mainly because he’s working with one network. If he as all in on ESPN you wouldn’t see a certain segment of fans singing his praise. If he was working with Amazon, you wouldn’t see the praise. Now, regarding canelo, he’s definitely ducking the biggest threats at super middleweight, and I criticise him for that, but Crawford is absolutely no threat to canelo, and Munguia’s performance is better that what we would get from a natural lightweight like Crawford. people need to stay focused on canelo, call for him to fight the actual super middleweights he’s ducking rather than get caught up in the hype of who casuals want him to fight.

That is fine to not do the Crawford fight if you instead fight one of them. But it looks like he might pick Eubanks, which is worse than all 3.

I think it will be good. Like Bakole getting the Andersen fight. The sport needs that. The Crawford Madrimov fight was good as well.

IMO the sport needs someone to stem the amount of avoiding we’ve seen since the network deals became a thing.

[Tatabanya]

We have accepted for decades a proven criminal like Don King doing and undoing whatever he wanted in partnership with Jose Sulaiman and other nice guys, ruining a lot of fighters bound by slave contracts in the process.

Now we are outraged just because Turki Alalshikh clearly tells fighters what he thinks of them if they do not accept his offers?
