The more i think about the Kirkland vs Canelo drama

[garfios]

so Kirkland should ask for more money because he doesnt think he can win or he knows that they are picking him because they dont think he can win? That doesnt make sense to me. Also, they picked Williams 1st and Lara is still in the running now. You cant be upset at GBP or the kid right now. Williams or Kirkland were satisfying fights for everyone

He should ask for more since they pick him because he is a one arm man, basically is he is going to throw the fight why not get pay? And he is young and high in the ranking, he will get his shot soon enough and he wants to be a 100%...

1) Kirkland got a gift in his last fight

2) Having an injured shoulder doesn't make you more valuable to a promotion.

3) If he wanted more money he shouldn't have agreed to the deal and announced it.

4) Lying and claiming an injury to get out of a fight agreement that is the best payday of your life is a punk move

5) He is taking advantage of the special circumstance that PW is freaking paralyzed and he is the only option to squeeze more money out of GB. Not a classy move.

Ray Robinson pulled out of fights for more money all the time. Sometimes even on the day of the fight. I know its frustrating for us fans but its business.

He is an idiot, don't agree to a fight then pull out.

It really amazes me how any one would have any problem with any of the 5 names being mentioned as Canelo opponents. They're all obvious step ups, and more than good replacements for Paul Williams. Kirkland, Lara, Trout/Rodriguez, Bundrage. It really just looks like random hatred. It makes no sense to hate on any of these matches.

That's right. Two champions and four top ten contenders. Those are all good fights for the champ. Canelo is fearless. If people think he is easy to beat they should bet against him. I always bet on him and I will bet on him again whoever they get for him on September 15th. If Kirkland's shoulder is less than 100% he should not take the fight for any amount of money. If his shoulder is good to go he just priced himself out of a tittle shot because he is not worth anything close to 2.5 million. Canelo was prepared to fight Williams who is better than Kirkland in my opinion. He is not trying to take advantage of Kirkland's injury. He does not think like that.
