Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Charlo's Handlers Turned Down 'Very Lucrative Offer' For Canelo Fight

If he's indeed telling the truth; Then I would have to agree with Oscar. It's time for these boxing promoters to come together and help co-promote some of these fights that us boxing fans would like to see. Canelo/Ja Charlo would have been a great fight. However and most of all it would have been great for the sport of boxing.

Another disappointing event in boxing. All the while I thought Charlo was desperate for the fight.

Either Charlo is a duck or Haymon is destroying his career. Golden Boy made Charlo known and Haymon has not been able to do anything with that.

The fighters are the boss though. The decision is ultimately up to them. They sign the dotted line.

There are very few fighters that are "bosses."

Obviously Charlo’s handlers don’t think he’s ready to take on such a beast which is why they priced themselves out. Charlo is a B level fighter, nothing special.

People really believe a Coke head tool like Oscar?

That fight not happening till either late this year or next year which they’ve planned all along!

Jermall Charlo talked last year as if Goldenboy didn’t send him any deal and he even pulled up on Hopkins to figure out how he can get the Canelo fight!

People will believe a cokehead over common sense, sad times we’re all in!

If there’s one thing PBC does better than all other promoters is protect their fighters. They outright don’t like crossing promotional lines when there’s a serious threat of their fighters taking L’s, kind of like how Robi13 took his.

Charlo fans are doing some serious damage control in this thread. He needs to fight Andrade at least hes getting clowned on right now.

A great big pile of 💩 From this crackhead alcoholic. No offer was ever made because clenelo went With the Lil g rematch and Rocky Fielding.The WBC president Sulaymaniyah confirmed it 🥊

It's a bad business move to sniff *******. It's a bad business move not to attend Mayweather vs. Alvarez. It's a bad business move to file a frivolous lawsuit against Al Haymon. It's a bad business move to call for a boycott of Mayweather vs. McGregor while trying to make Canelo vs. McGregor! It's a bad business move not to fight Dervy, and have your fighter stripped of a title without telling your fighter. It's a bad business move to say you made a "very, very amazing offer," but you can't remember who you spoke with. Plenty of bad business moves.

You won't get an argument from me about De La Hoya's character flaws and failure to hold his team to account for not making sure that Canelo was informed of the possibility of being stripped of his title and his many business missteps, but that does not negate what I said. I said X and you are addressing A, B and C -- apples and oranges and they say.

While I am not a big De La Hoya fan and think that he babbles nonsense at times and has lied on more than one occasion, I think folks have to admit that he has had a measure of success as a businessman and at least in this case it made good sense to remain silent of the amount of money he offered.
