Comments Thread For: Hearn: We'd Love To Do Canelo vs. Callum Smith At Anfield

[Shadoww702]

He doesn't have to go anywhere besides Vegas and Texas!

He just fought in NY???? But they also get taxed like a MFer!!! These dumb dumb don’t realize Nevada has NO State Taxes and neither does Texas

Either Smith outboxes Canelo with his height and reach advantage, or Canelo breaks Smith down with the vicious bodywork. There is no way Canelo and Golovkin are fighting each other this year.

I forgot all about that!
I just figured he's one of them fool's who's always gotta be biitching about something! That fool always has to complain about something when it comes to Canelo or else he isn't happy! There's plenty of fool's like that on here! They always biitching and crying about something,....

Pelirojo wont fight in England. Nor will he fight Smith. He's happy fighting guys he has an advantage over. Its sad though because I give him a good shot at beating Smith. Not only would he gain the REAL belt, but he'd gain a TON of new fans from the other side.

If I'm Andrade, I feel some type of way! I don't think he came to DAZN for Kautondokwa, Akakov, and Sulecki? Why isn't Andrade's name coming up at the DAZN meetings?

Exactly! Andrade has done everything DAZN asked of him. Including 3 fights in 9 months!!! He should be being pushed as the next fight for Canelo! Canelo has unfinished business and has 3 belts in his possession and Andrade willing to Unify right now!!! If he moves up to 168 without fighting the one opponent that gets him the Middleweight championship on the world he is passing up the opportunity. Why would he do that right now with Andrade willing to fight ? And why is DAZN pushing for Canelo to move up to 168 instead ??

101 excuses club!

They blame

Gloves
Wraps
Weight
Ring Size
Judges
Refs
Ring entrance
Location
Fans

The list goes on and on... I’ve never seen such Bi@itching and EXCUSES before a fight in my entire life???

I’m like can we at least wait until AFTER the fight to make excuses???

We got GGG/Canelo 3 coming up. Canelo gonna make sure no doubt this time.

GGg gonna look GREAT against the BUM but that sht ain’t gonna prepare him for Canelo.

That was point, no chance he'd agree to go fight someone in the uk.

Need be careful when talking taxes as its a minefield. Correct, Nevada has no State taxes, but the reason NY is quite popular for Boxing is that its pretty low itself. The NY ACST (authorised Combatative Sports Tax - introduced 1 Sep 2016) is different for MMA and Boxing - the boxing tax is 3%, but with a MAXIMUM tax due of 50,000 (or max 100,000, not quite sure), which for a big event is reasonably small (reason so many fights are in New York I guess).

What dwarfs thsi is the Fed tax of 39.6% that applies all over, but even then there are additional taxes on top (Medicare and Medicare surcharge that can add up to 2.35%), so total tax Nevada likely around 42%, while New York = 42% + 50,000 (or 100,000, not sure how the maximums apply).

Meantime the non-resident UK tax is 45%. But it gets more complicated as both the US and the UK are two of the few countries that tax endorsement income for non-resident athletes, which can be calculated differently in each country (the UK had to temporarilly suspend this rule for the 2012 Olympics as some of the top athletes like Usain Bolt might not have attended otherwise).

So the tax benefits of Nevada/NY for non-resident boxers isn't that great - whereas places like Macao at 12% start to get really attractive. But if US resident for tax purposes, then US Fed taxes apply wherever as the US taxes on global income.

What advantage did Canelo have over Jacobs and GGG??? Both were bigger and fought at that division for YEARS while that was Canelo 4th???

And who the *** wants to see Canelo fight a Brit. In England on Cinco De Mayo or MexiCAN Independence Day???

That have be some Big UK Holiday Canelo could squeeze around those two Holidays

I don’t know the taxes I just remember that a lot of Combat Sports didn’t want to go to NY anymore. I think it was some Health Insurance thing??? Probably only affects smaller promotions???
