Comments Thread For: Loeffler: We Thought DAZN Pact Would Make Canelo Deal Easier

[Shadoww702]

That line is from Fat Boy Dan not from the actual disclosed NY Purses. Eddie Hearn himself flat out denied the false report that GGG was getting DAZN Equity. Fat Boy Dan used to just report the purses as they are actually written he now has been adding editorial notes to purses at his discretion which now makes them confusing and agenda based. For example he constantly does this for Top Rank fighters tells you oh this is what it says but he's actually making much more which is fed to him by Bob Arum which could be true or could be BS. And other fights when fighters and promoters leak that a fight is making much more he will just report the lower Commission reported Purse amount instead of adding notes that this fighter is actually making more then what is disclosed by the commission.

Thanks! And your 100% that’s where I got that info from and why I was confused what it meant???

Team ggg and dazn underestimated the diva behavior of Canelo and overestimated his desire to want to try and get a non controversial win over ggg. Now they're screwed. Under normal circumstances, a big name in the sport prefers to clear up that kind of controversy. It's why mayweather ran it back immediately vs castillo and maidana. Why pac has 3 fights vs morales and 4 vs Marquez. Canelo clearly isn't cut from that same kind of cloth. He prefers to take his controversial win and move on. Like he did with Lara and now with ggg. Hopefully after he fights Kovalev, he'll actually focus on fighters who are in their primes like an andrade charlo, Smith, benavidez, plant, etc.

Well said. Canelo works on paper resume, those you mentioned worked on the real ones. That's why Canelo does what he does. And it looks great on paper - 4 weight classes champion, holding belts in 3 weight classes simultaneously.

But the biggest diva move he does is when he walks out last against a belt holder. And that is a disgrace. AJ is also an A side and still on the poster he is mentioned second, he is on the right side (poster and pressers) and i'd bet money that he will be first to walk out in December. Unlike the diva.

I kind of am glad they went separate ways for a minute. Both are fighting LEGIT guys and by no means is either one an easy out. I know you think Kov is going to fold like a deck of cards as soon as Canelo glances even one punch of Kov. body but I don’t see that happening. Both are very live dogs. Both at worst should be 60/40. In fact I’m betting Kov. And Sergiy because the odds are soo good.

Sergiy’s entire life changes if he beats GGG. He gets at least another $4 mil plus in the rematch or get Canelo and that lottery ticket. He can parley a win to be set for LIFE!!! Your a smart man think about that? He loses he will never see this type of money again or even close. But a win! I know what my motivation would be.... This is for ALL he’s trained for plus he has a great amateur background

I’m glad because a 3rd fight on MexiCAN Independence Day was getting Groundhog Day stale. Now GGG should/maybe have a belt and I already stated I think Kov beats Canelo. So Canelo stock will be down and he can say I tried bring on GGG and that IBF belt!

[Shadoww702]

Yeah he was only a few punches away from losing. Yarde has to get away from that trainer. He can't perform at the highest level without sparring or very little sparring. I get it that too much sparring can shorten a career but taking a beating in the ring because you aren't properly prepared is worse.

When done right sparring is about working on certain things. Most times it’s like a QB in practice with a red shirt on....

[Shadoww702]

I know this is just plain weird. Thing is Yarde looked pretty good even without sparring. He has talent..

I only gave him like 3 rounds but that is very unusual for a guy that green to do that to a P4P top 20 arguably the #1 LHW or at least top #3. Ain’t no shame in that his stock went sky high and yes EVERYONE blamed his trainer. He got skills and talent

[jimisawesome]

Why would they think it would be easier to make this fight? GGG has been a pain in the ass diva every other time they tried to make these fights. If reports are correct he started with his diva act for a 3rd fight.

valid points. I don't think either are facing "no hopers" but like I told you last time, there are multiple opponents I'd prefer both had taken on. Hopefully that's what happens after they get done with their respective fights.

I know. Heck but those a holes won’t fight each other. So then we have to go see the same guys stalling waiting on ggg / Canelo to pick them. They are too afraid to get out of line and fight each other. Heck Jacobs got smart and moved up realizing he won’t get another shot for years after losing to both BUT if they move up and he has a belt? That’s his only shot.

charlo vs andrade & plant vs benavidez or mixing in Smith would be ideal as a boxing fan.
