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

[kushking]

He does not have to state a number. I just feel that he's suspect because he won't state a number. Hearn was very clear about what he offered Charlo to fight Andrade. Why can't Oscar do the same? I'm not calling Oscar a liar, I just feel he's suspect.

Actually Hearn was not very clear(he told this site off the record basically"unofficially" it seems) & he only did it over several interviews/articles indirectly. And it should be obvious that DLH offered him good money (to an undercard prospect without a belt in Charlo at the time) ,& it makes zero sense to release an offer publicly because fighters like deryev already price themselves out & expect retirement money despite not being able to draw flies to sht like Charlo & Canelo is already negotiating with several fighters,who all only wanna fight him because they're winning the career lotto where even a loss is a win & makes them rich household names(even Fielding is now getting press for his fights since nelo fight).

Fighters only want Canelo if they get like 5-10x what they're worth,it would likely pss off Canelo more if dlh releases the offer,Deryev was demanding Jacobs money last yr for this reason since he knew 1st hand from virgil hunter that Jacobs made bank(Jacobs is a MUCH BIGGER star than Charlo/Deryev combined)

Why doesn't Charlo say what the offer was for,& why has he been keeping it a secret all thus time while crying hes being ducked?

Why should he state a number? Better yet why won’t Charlo order his handlers to restart negotiations?

To back up his claim that it was lucrative. Why should anybody believe him?

Ohhh man you beat me to it....

Can't wait to see how Henning, MCC and WBC spin this:

"Haymon has a plan"

"Why are DAZN trying to make fights with fighters from PBC when they can't even make fights between their own fighters"

"He didn't say how much it was, Charlo gets more back end money than that"

Lol, forgot about that one!

Oscar didn't say how much or what it was. That's a fact. But if you have an agenda you will believe what you want. Kind of like believing Dylan Whyte when he said Wilder was knocked out in sparring against Klitschko

Isn't it obvious that it doesn't make sense to pit the few fighters they have against each other? Why would they cannabalize their own subscriptions by having Canelo beat Andrade/Ggg again when they are all driving seperate fanbases to subscribe? They are building up Andrade based on his belt, if he was beltless & lost to Nelo Dazn would've instantly wasted everything they invested in him, same with ggg. Dazns model is much different than ppv model

SERIOUSLY? 1st off, Devy gets fights because he is mandatory and NOT because anyone offers him big money. Whatever Devy is offered Charlo is offered significantly more. Frankly Charlo being offered more than Devy isn't even debatable he's 10 times the attraction.

The merits of Oscar's honesty is arguable but the money isn't, you don't need to be a math genius
to know Charlo was offered more than Dervy.

You're stating a number, which means you know what Dervy was offered. You do not know what was offered to Charlo. Even saying it was "at least..." is just an assumption. Did Charlo have to sign to GBP? We do not know. We do not know if Oscar is telling the truth. Oscar barely hung on to his own (Canelo & Ryan) fighters! Like I said, the fact that he won't state a number, makes him suspect!

Not sure what the plan is for Charlo at 160 at this point

Also too...PBC need to make offers too instead of everybody trying to lure PBC Fighters away from Haymon and try to go around him and offer guys through DM's on Instagram

The going around Haymon is likely because it is stuff in the contract they don't want him to see like options these promoters like to put in deals

For Jermall though, I think going over to DAZN is worth it especially for Canelo, Andrade and Jacobs

[Bronx2245]

Charlo is really in no position to turn down any offers. Shame that he’s almost 30 and still, not a single fight worth mentioning.

It's a shame that Andrade swerved him! I can't accept what Oscar says at face value. Why is he saying this in 2020? I didn't see him making this statement last May. I also find it funny that he can't state whom he talked too?

[willieb24]

AKA he made a lucrative offer to take a dive but he didn't want to do that.
