Comments Thread For: Arum: No Way Will De La Hoya Risk 'Cash Cow' Canelo With GGG

[Reloaded]

Even Arum speaks the truth when it comes to this subject.

He is very experienced in this method of promotion.

In other obvious news, the world is round. Except for the few buffoons who still argue that it's flat.

[thack]

Oscar's team are running and doing exactly the same as Khan and his team did against Brook (offer the world champion 30%!).The offer for GGG. to fight Canelo on the face of it is huge BUT GGG. knows how much more is in the pot and with that he's being ripped as it's the two of them that generate this money.These are both ways to try and sneak out of fights without losing too much face but they don't fool me.

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

Last year the excuse was per Canelo "I am not a MW... I need to build my body (balls) up to 160 b4 I fight GGG" Now it's we offered 15 mil...take it or leave it. Oh and by the way...Canelo is still not MW but is fighting Chavez at 164. Duck-Duck-Duck!!!

[BigStomps]

the offer that they gave lil G was fake and designed to duck the fight and take the heat off canela as well. this fight is never happening

How can it be a fake offer when they sent little g the contract for him to sign? That shows how ****** you really are! When it's in writing then it's not fake at all!
Now go back to sucking Mayweathers **** you ****ing lame!

Arum is saying this because that';s what happened with Pacquiao. Arum/Pacquiao didn't want to risk it against Mayweather.

He's also speaking truth.

Canelo fought Trout, Lara, Floyd, etc. and some of those opponents were not DLH/GBP's "first choice". The point is Canelo isn't the puppet Pac is and Canelo will put his feet down and demand things sometimes.

Canelo GOAT.

[MDPopescu]

... forget Golovkin...

... Canelo should fight the likes of Lemieux, Saunders, Eubank Jr., Charlos etc...

Yep! Afraid of needles, cuts not healed, outdoor stadiums, 50/50, fake contracts, etc. Nobody does it like Arum! Here's his latest:

March 8, 2017:

Arum was skeptical from the get-go that the UAE deal was real and made his position known, but it did not stop Pacquiao and adviser Michael Koncz from pursuing it, and it did not stop Pacquiao and Khan from announcing via social media more than a week ago that they had agreed to fight each other (depending, of course, on the cash being in place).

But on Tuesday Arum told ESPN that the UAE deal for Pacquiao-Khan was dead, that Pacquiao won't face Khan (31-4, 19 KOs) next and that Koncz was on his way back to the Philippines to tell Pacquiao that the $38 million was nothing but a fantasy.

"Michael is on his way back to meet with Manny but it's kaddish for the UAE deal. It's dead," Arum said. "I'm talking to him about another proposal for another fight, not Khan. Khan won't be Manny's next opponent."

When Arum says no, he means NO!

Oscar will advise against it, but I think Canelo himself will push for the fight. It's just too embarrassing otherwise, and Canelo is not one of these fighters that thinks of himself as a businessman.

[Deletrious]

Canelo is like Chavez, relying on putting huge weight back on after weigh in. I wouldn't give him better than 50/50 against any of the better middleweights.
