Comments Thread For: Canelo Withdraws From Golovkin Rematch on May 5

[icha]

cant see it. i said to people this fight would get called off quite a few weeks back and they said the same thing 'too much money, the show will go on'.

that was on nsac, and they are doing the right thing, but fight still happens so everybody gets their money only a few months later..

[peplz]

No, fighters just take them by chance without any intention of enhancing their abilities....

Oh goodness. I forgot that I'm on the internet where sarcasm and extremism is premium and level headed conversation is reprehensible. How about I say it like this: I know for a fact that he ingested this stuff intentionally and he should never be allowed in the ring again. Does that suit your sensibilities more?

Lol, you really are one ****** dumb motherfuccer if you think that!
There's no point postponing the inevitable.
He's gonna get suspended so why wait? Think about it you dumb fucc!

Not a shot ****** as clowns like you claiming it's GGG's fault lmao

In conjunction with all the fights going to Barclays, or texas or socal, vegas needs all the fights it can get in order to stay relevant as a player in the game for fights.

P.S. if canelo slapped my mom in the face he will be dead or left ******ed.

Vegas has survived the retirements of mayweather, Oscar, Tyson, sugar ray Leonard, so I highly doubt Canelo and golden boys weak roster will be enough to put them out of business. Yeah, Barclay's gets some good pbc fights but at the end of the day, the big fights still go through Vegas.

This entire debacle has been sad and now we've been denied the rematch we so desperately wanted to see. Hopefully they can revisit the fight at the end of the year.

Someone post the video that cost Borat $15 million. The most expensive meltdown ever.

Except that now GGG gets to sue Canelo for breach of contract.

There is also legal precedent.

After Guillermo Jones failed his drug test in the lead up to his 2014 rematch with Denis Lebedev, Lebedev sued for lost purse and expenses, and was awarded $2 million dollars in damages.

Deontay Wilder also sued Alexander Povetkin for his failed drug test in the lead up to their fight.

Wilder won $4.5 million in damages, the full amount of his purse.

Canelo will have little chance in winning as the case history has shown, and Golovkin will most likely end up being awarded damages in the full amount of his purse also.

Golden Boy probably has an insurance policy that covers eventualities like this, so unfortunately, it probably wont be Canelo who is out of pocket for the $15m.

If it does come out of Canelos pocket, he will learn a very expensive lesson in professionalism.

Yeah he is. Of course the Vegas boxing scene. Who is is going to sell out these arenas at those high ticket prices?

you are aware that there was boxing there before canelo, right? And much bigger names than canelo have retired and Vegas still thrives. I doubt somebody with only 4 successful ppvs (2 of which he was the b side for) will bring Vegas to its knees if he refuses to fight there. Also, if Vegas suspends him, he won't just be going to Texas or NY because they'd hold up the suspension as well. This damages Canelos career way more than it does Vegas.

Linear? What the F is a linear? Did you mean LINEAL champion? Too bad at 27, Canelo STILL couldn’t beat the man who is the man at 160. So much so he needed an edge and got busted! BAHAHAHAHA! What a waste of youth! Two biggest fights of his career and he got unanimously handled over 12 shut out rounds by Floyd and for all the talk, got outhustled by the old man! But you’re mad at him for Canelo popping for Clenbuterol? Give it up son...

Canelito is the linear middleweight champ he is the man who beat the man.

I hope your happy to see lil g vs a can. Mfer is 36 for fak sake. What a waste of a career to only fight 2 good fighters at that age.
