    Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya said super middleweight titleholder Callum Smith is an "idiot" for turning down a May 2 fight against Canelo Alvarez, the middleweight world champ and a secondary super middleweight titleholder.


    "We turned down the initial offer but, of course, it's the fight that Callum wants next," Hearn said. "If we feel the offer is right, he will jump at the chance."

    Smith has his own management team. Hearn can't accept or turn down offers for him.

      Honestly who cares...Smith looked awful vs Ryder last fight and clearly lost...would be a sh.it pick from Canelo right now...and if Canelo and co. offered him close to $8 million he should have been all over it...boxing as a business is so ****** sometimes.

        Golden Boy says it was 3-4x what Callum Smith normaly makes.

        Hearn admits they turned it down.

        Where are all the Hearn fans that usually insist all career high paydays must be immediately accepted?

          One good thing about Hearn... he'll talk about it.

          Hearn told ESPN he did receive an offer for the fight from Golden Boy "that we didn't accept."

              Golden Boy is saying all of the things Hearn says when Hearn makes a lowball offer and it's turned down.

              Now that the shoe is on the other foot, how will the Hearn fans react?

              Personally, I think Hearn did the right thing turning down Canelo's offer.

              But for all of the Hearn fans who insist you should always accept a career high payday, what do they say now?
              “Hearn fans”...lol

                Callum Smith and Joe Gallagher will decide whether to accept the offer or not. Eddie Hearn is not Al Haymon. Eddie's fighters are his clients, not his ******.

                  How much credit will Canelo get if he fights and beats Smith? He beat Fielding whom everyone thinks was a sht fight, and Rocky beat Ryder and Ryder beat Smith.

                    If it was a decent offer than Smith is an idiot. Canelo is one of the highest profile fighters in the game. " No thanks, i'll stick with the John Ryder's of the world". Bad decision!
