Yea i noticed that too, Golden Boy probably rigged the scales for Canelo. I bet Canelo was really 155.5.

this is a good point..i did notice angulo and virgil lookign shocked that he was 1/2lb over 154..now canelo doesn't have to pay angulo 100k....this is just corrupt

Because Canelo made 155 Angulo likely won't get the exrra 100k. Canelo team was so worried they hedged and made the deal. #CaneloAngulo

No, because HBO turned that down and he'd have to fight in Argentina

Oh OK. Happy good luck to HBO trying to force him to fight GGG with a potential eight figure payday with Canelo on the table.

Why would he fight GGG over Canelo? Maybe I'm missing something. But wouldn't his mandatory with Rubio close out his HBO contract?

Answer to your question"

This ^^^^^

No way HBO pays for that bull**** and I don't blame them.

Both of them looked bad at the weigh ins, especially Angulo. Both will probably rehydrate up to 170.

If this fight goes past 6 it could get really sloppy, and I could see on of them getting KOed in a very ugly sloppy fashion.

And when a good opponent is in his reach, GGG can do no right

That is shaaaaaaaady.

I thought the 100k was because it was moved from 154 to 155 today?
He was only going to get it if they missed the new weight?

[sugarsmosley]

Technically..... yes, I guess. Maybe he's going up to MW after this. I guess that's why GBP has been keeping Quillin on ice

maybe he will drag up JMW to middleweight lol.. i mean besides quillin i cant think of anyone else out there for him at golden boy.

JMW is still packed with molina,lara,charlo twins, kirkland, even K9 and mundine still out there. not all PPV attractions but they have 1 big fight at middleweight to make

[bojangles1987]

lol win for angulo. not mad at him but him and canelo are both huge jmws. they wll both weigh over 165 tom

Easily over 165. I'm expecting at least one of them to be a light heavyweight walking into the ring.
