Comments Thread For: WBC Prez Shakes Head: I'm Tired of Childish Actions By Canelo!

[rrayvez]

Golovkin haters would rather pretend that Canelo and Oscar didn't know anything about GGG being their mando till the WBC suddenly contacted them, right out of nowhere, saying they had 15 days to make a deal.

for real. That 15 day excuse is lame. He had just about a year's notice because I remember that when cotto beat geale, the canelo fight was already agreed to in principle. In order for that to happen, everyone knew that ggg would have to accept step aside money because he was the mandatory.

WBC got what they asked for. Canelo never needed the belts, he is a draw without them, but he respected the history and represnted the WBC strap after taking it from Cotto.
BBB side was never going to get a deal they wanted so they tried to force a purse bid and the WBC supported that. Its pretty clear what set off Canelo against the WBC. Sauliman just needs to open his eyes.
They are tired of getting percentage fees from BBB side and want that Canelo money. They got what they asked for, and deserve.

you're right, they are corrupt and shady. But Canelo didn't seem to mind it when they pulled strings so that Canelo can become the youngest champion at 154 by fighting an unranked welterweight in Matthew hatton. He was cool with that and cool with them never enforcing a mandatory on him.... Until they did so with ggg. I don't think Canelo is wrong for saying **** the wbc, but he was ok with it when their shady ways benefitted him.

THIS. RIGHT. HERE.

Canelo is not making some principled stand here, guys. He's upset he didn't get his way, so he's taking his ball and going home

Beltz are obsolete in 2017...

It's very clear. Canelo thought that because he was the star of Mexican boxing, the WBC would allow him to avoid fighting GGG and keep wearing their belt for as long as he wanted.

He's been sulking like a spoiled brat since he found out that wasn't going to happen.

Yes. But this point is reached by less than 1% of all fighters.

Whoever here on NSB screams sanctioning bodies are no sht, are simply fanboys of those divas who don't need belts. For all other boxers, i.e. for 99 and more % belts matter; for them belts are a currency, it's a ticket for paydays, especially if they don't have a big fanbase. If not for the belts, GGG would have never gotten Canelo. Whoever doesn't agree with this status quo is clueless.

Then let those boxers agree to whatever the organisation says, I would never support any organisation over a boxer period.

Just like i would never support a manager, promoter, network etc over a boxer. They get in the ring to earn money, entertain others, earn money for others etc.

So, if a boxer ever decides he doesn't want to be promoted, by someone who has made enough back from that boxer tenfold or whatever, then am backing that boxer full stop.

For the top name they should be. Just fight the best out there and phuck those belt. I couldn't careless if Canelo v GGG was for zero belt. The fight happened with or without the belts.

correct, idiots like gggayvez and ***off choose to not see this.

The fight with ggg is here! You act like they aren't fighting. Canelo just isn't going to pay them for what already been discussed. You can't force any fighter to fight for a belt if the fighter doesn't want too. Period

[etech1]

They're just mad because he doesn't want to pay their fees anymore. It's good to see one of the top fighters in the sport finally stand up to their antics & BS.

Do you follow boxing? This has nothing to do with him not wanting to pay their fees. This is because the special treatment that the WBC already had given him, wasn't enough. He wanted to hold the belt hostage for another year, while waiting for GGG to show signs of decline.
