Comments Thread For: Zabala Slams De La Hoya: He Looked Out For Himself, Not Canelo

[LADIV]

He's right. Oscar made a post yesterday celebrating that golden boy was exonerated but failed to mention that Canelo has to now pay 8.5 mil. And for all you who don't think that will hurt Canelos pockets, 8. 5 mil was exactly his guaranteed purses for the cotto and khan fights combined. He basically fought them for free thanks to this judgements.

Guarateed money is what he is making just for fighting...thats not counting his share of ppv from hbo and tv azteca and his sponsors.he made over 30 million in those two fights..

Now I wonder who Canelo fights on Mexican Independence day. It wont be GGG. Maybe Lemieux

Lemieux can barely make 160. Canelo's probly going to bring somebody up from the lower weights to fight at 155 again.

I'm aware he made further money on the ppvs but 30 mil doesn't sound right. Neither fight hit a mil buys and the khan fight by most accounts was a bust and well under half a mil in buys.

I highly doubt this could have been resolved with any finality with 250k. It's easy to say that after the 8 million dollar judgement. The real question is what percentage of that 8 million will Allstar see. An appeal may reduce that amount on the basis that Allstar was less influential in setting up the Alvarez GBP marriage than originally believed.

250k for a straight-up release likely would've never happened; All Star Boxing would've probably asked for some of their other guys to get the chance to maybe impress Showtime/HBO, so All Star Boxing could move on with another possible prospect. Whether they would've been successful is up to the ether, but All Star Boxing would've tried to leave the situation with a boxer that they could possibly do something with, whether it be in the US or simply running shows in Mexico.

ASB feeling ****** so they throwing a couple more shots in. GBP was offering them $10M to avoid a trial. These dummies loss $1.5M going to trial with their horrible promoter asses.

They ****** for so many reasons too. 1)Signing a guy to a English contract who can't read English. 2)Losing the guy who became the face of boxing after they signed him. 3)Not giving a f#ck about losing the guy til he got a title shot 2 years later. 4)Being so ****ty at lawyering up that amazingly GBP got the trial postponed for 5 mfing years lol. This is really the crowning achievement of this entire situation that GBP got a 6 or so day trial pushed back for 60+ months. 5)Turning down various settlement offers, allegedly one recently that was for $10M. 6)Now being poor winners cuz they didn't make out as well as they thought they could.

If I was working for this company I'd suggest that we take a new road to future success & just do the opposite of whatever the guy who's been making the calls now suggests we do.

I'm betting on Liam Smith or Cotto II, maybe BJS who I like to upset the apple cart. I'd be amazed if it was Lemieux, let alone GGG, at this point. They talking about Floyd II more than Lemieux last I heard lol.
