This is just one guy I don't know talking and it sounds like BS. This him saying what both sides supposedly said so why should I believe this motormouth. Not a word about this from boxing scene who are fast and reliable. Oscar would tell the world if he offered Jermall 12 million. He would not keep it a secret. He would want the world to know that Canelo will fight anybody. I think this guy is full of sh it.Comment

What has Charlo ever done to even warrant such a generous offer? Dude should be thankful and rushing to take the money, beat Canelo like he says he can and go on to even bigger purses.Comment

Didn't watch the video but I'm certain the 10-12 mil is the starter flat fee offer. PBC guys are use to getting back-end money. A Canelo fight w/ back end money is worth a whole lot more than 10-12 mil. So Charlo/PBC was more than right to turn it down . If GBP really wanted to make this fight, they would do their talking at the negotiating table and not in the press.
Seriously folks, would you take 10-12 mil for a Canelo fight? Especially if you were considered someone the masses wanted to see Canelo fight? That's like a 90 - 10 split in Canelo's favor.
Hopefully a fight with Charlo or Andrade vs. Canelo will get made while these guys are still in their prime. If not blame the business not the boxers.
What fantasy land are you living in where 10 million is 10% of the pot in a Canelo-Charlo fight??
Canelo isn't anywhere near the draw that Floyd is and seldom ever did his low-medium profile B-side opponents get more than a couple million. Shane Mosley got 6 million against Floyd..... I think you've vastly overestimated how much money this fight is worth and how much Charlo is worth. Either that or you believe the Al Haymon Back end Bed time stories. I believe both Jacobs and Kovalev got around 10M and its very possible those fights lost money, especially the Kovalev fight. Charlo isn't worth more than those guys..... the debate is on whether the offer was legit or not and not whether Charlo should have taken it or not. If the offer was legit then it should have been an easy decision for him.Last edited by NaijaD; 01-24-2020, 04:29 PM.Comment

The franchise champion is the WBC accommodating BOTH promoters in the situation, because boxing has hit a place of all-or-nothing in which PBC and DAZN are playing to become the defacto major league of boxing in the US.
-Canelo is the champion.
-Charlo is the mandatory.
-PBC isn't going to let one of their flagship fighters fight on DAZN even if the offer is great (a la Wilder).
-DAZN isn't going to let their flagship fighter fight on FOX.
Because of all of that, in addition to the amount of money Canelo gets paid by DAZN, a purse bid is not an option for either fighter.
So what do you do? Strip Canelo and close the door on that revenue forever (he already hates them) or keep deny Charlo his shot and risk being excommunicated by Haymon the way he did the WBO (PBC fighters drive more revenue for WBC than anyone).
The answer was.... do neither.Comment

Absolutely!!

the bold ^^
like to hear from the Charlo side about the offer... but, hard to imagine why $10m could not get that fight made
is that other idiot still running around insisting that Canelo is the guy who is avoiding that fight?Comment

that's a lot of money for someone that's not even going to draw much interest in the fight. hardcores don't count, they mostly stream illegally anyhow. It should be surprising that he turned it down, but then again it's the Charlos and they're about as brainwashed against DAZN as....well, no one compares to them.Comment
