BJS always seemed like the frontrunner after the Murata fight fell through, but looks like Smith had an offer here. No idea how much money was offered or what truly happened, but either DLH is trying to put pressure on Smith to accept whatever offer they have or is giving a reason of why BJS will be next. Kind of like, "well, we are fighting him, because Smith turned down the offer." I don't know, but either way get ready for Canelo vs BJS on May 2nd, 2020.

mofos are now demanding jacobs type of money, **** em...
you want the big purses, beat the money man... but they all know they are going to lose and therefore trying to cash out... sad...

Oscar keep saying "Dangerous Opponent" well I don't consider Callum or BJS "Dangerous" for Canelo so Maybe Beterbiev? David Benavidez? I guess we will just have to wait and see

Yeah just saw this. Funny how when Smith and Murata turn down offers (allegedly) ODH tells the press immediately.

Yet he waited a yea to tell anyone Charlo allegedly turned down an offer.

Smith needs to prove hes better than john Ryder first cause he lost that fight in my opinion

maybe cuz last year they still had the mando situation with the wbc ??

but its also funny how charlo was very vocal about fighting canelo, but when the offer is made public he goes quiet as a mouse...
maybe he was trying to sell his zero for a mando split...
he now knows he isnt going to get it and no longer interested in taking a beating by the hands of canelo...

Yea real funny. Too bad when u in the "other side" you see nothing funny about literally anything no matter what, from whoever, not even a eyebrow raise

Interesting deflection. Charlo has been quiet. That said, even you have to find it somewhat interesting that ODH tells the media immediately when Murata and Smith refuse deals but waits over a year to tell us about Charlo.

Hopefully it is Canelo vs BJS.

oscar is using murata and smith to negotiate with BJS... a way of saying, look those guys didnt get the fight cuz asking too much... it would have been really dumb to make public a 10 or 12 mil offer when they were trying to negotiate a 5.5 mil payday with dervy or a similar amount with kova, kova could have asked for more than that...
even today he wouldnt make the financial details public cuz other fighters will try to ask for similar money, same thing happened with jacobs...
