Comments Thread For: Turki Alalshikh: It's Canelo or bust with Crawford

[champion4ever]

This is absolutely hilarious. Turk found out real quick that canelo still runs boxing. That little bonus he's paying these guys don't come close to what they'll make fighting canelo. David gonna turn down that bivol-beterbiev winner too. Just wait. At the end of the day canelo is still the face of boxing. And the turk better understand that. He thought he would make canelo bow down but canelo laughed in his face like the wannabe dictator that he is. Better take out that check book and give canelo what he wants turkey boy.

Believe it or not but Canelo’s gravy train is over and he knows this. Which is why he recently reached out to Alashikh to discuss his plans after the Berlanga fight.

He realizes that all roads leads to Turki and that under pressure; All of these promoters are going to buckle and cow to him because he holds all the cards.

They need that Saudi money in order to pay Canelo. However, they won’t be able to do so unless he starts fighting someone good.

Matchroom and Eddie Hearn gets it and now so does Saul Alvarez.

How much is that then?

Don't know exactly but Oscar said he's paying a slight bonus but it's nothing crazy. I'm guessing 10-20%.

Lmao at this delusion. Canelo laughed in his damn face. Even mocked that holding hands bull****. Turk gotta bow down to canelo and kiss the ring now. Turk said he was no longer interested in bud vs canelo and he would be moving on. Then bud was like no....canelo or nothing. At the end of the day canelo still runs boxing. He's the cash cow not the turk. Without canelo turk has zero super fights in America. And that's a fact.

Well that is certainly about to change. You just watch. Your “Excellency” Turki Alashikh has changed the entire landscape of boxing.

Who do you think is going to finance and bankroll Canelo’s fights from now on if he doesn’t get on the good side of your “Excellency”? I’ll tell you no one.

All the promoters are going to run and duck for cover from Canelo if he doesn’t come to his senses. None of them would fuck with him.

They want that Saudi money. So they will never side with Canelo over Alashikh. Never!

I kept telling people Crawford only wants to cash out. Even though I’m sure Turki is giving him great offers, there’s no money that will be like Canelo money and that’s what he wants. Make the biggest bag and sail into the sunset. His fight vs Madrimov was supposed to show he can move up and compete with Canelo but he couldn’t even dominate Madrimov so the Canelo fight is dead. Buds best bet is to ask Turki for large purse and fight David Benavidez. If he wins he will no doubt get the Canelo fight. If he loses, at least he got the big bag he was looking for and can use the same excuse, he was too small.

What a dumbass post, lmao…

We don’t know if Canelo doesn’t want the fight. Canelo has a fight coming up. It’s a super fight. Canelo doesn’t have anyone that he can make super fight money with either except Bud and who else, maybe Benavidez who he isn’t fighting. All this premature negative talk is by Buds haters. Bud beat Madrimov ass and he knew it too. When Canelo beats Berlanga…if he does, then fans can talk that Jmw garbage fights that you want to see. Bud if he doesn’t get the Canelo fight and retires I’m good with that.

Well said.

[Knuckle sandwich]

If canelo wants the fight all well and good, but a jump up from 154 to 168 is at best an exhibition spar, not a real fight, there are plenty of good fights at 154 for Crawford to choose from that will satisfy boxing fans.


I agree with the poster who suggested Crawford fights benavidez, if he wins that then maybe he gets a shot at canelo, but canelo calls the shots, as i have said many times before he has done more for boxing than any other fighter has for a long time

[Raggamuffin]

Fury, who I like talked that little man **** and got his ass whooped by a little guy. Canelo was the little guy against Bivol and got his ass kicked. History shows that the smaller guy can come up and beat the bigger guys ass, so Canelo talking that Bud **** is only accepted by his rabid fans. Canelo can keep fighting these inferior guys, but he’s lost a ton of respect with the diehards. Either fight Bud or Benavidez next or we don’t want to see you anymore.

[Raggamuffin]

Bud will beat the **** out of Ortiz. That shouldn’t even be a fight to consider for Bud, lmao…
