Hearn says he turned down the Canelo fight.

[WBC WBA IBF WBO]

Yes of course it can.

Okay, so Hearn has confirmed that two of his fighters just turned down career high paydays against Canelo.

You and I both agree that an offer can be a career high and still be a lowball.

Yet when Hearn makes career high offers to Wilder or Charlo, everyone insists career high offers must be accepted.

So why the double standard? Why do UK fans cry duck when a US fighter turns down a lowball "career high" but none of them are crying duck now that Smith and Saunders both rejected Canelo this week?

they will find a way to deflect, they are paid well to do what they do around here and very persistant

Smith is against the rail hard at 168. He can't afford to lose a single ounce from what he was against Ryder.

Maybe he isn't pricing himself out, maybe he just wants a fair chance to win.

There is a group of posters that like to force everything into the narrative that Haymon and PBC are hurting the sport. I think its pretty obvious why but lets pretend its because these guys "care about the sport they love so much."

Don't know what you're on about now ... what low ball offers has Hearn made to Wilder and Charlo?

[ShoulderRoll]

Callum should be sucking Canelo off for even considering him as opponent.

3 or 4 times his career-high purse is more than fair. He shouldn't get a cent more than that.

[Butt stuff]

I hope it happens, can't wait to see Smith get starched after not giving Ryder the rematch. Canelo's gonna rip that huge body.

[QueensburyRules]

Just found the Boxing News 24 article. Sounds like BS to be honest saying Hearn didn't advise Smith of the offer, and certainly doesn't include any Hearn quotes... ie it's the opposite of the OP's thread title.

- -BS 24. Eddie needs to build Smith more, but with who?

Canelo - Eubank more probable.

[uppercut510]

no uproar as usual and don't expect one.

If they genuinely turn this fight down then you might have a discussion on your hands.

At the moment they're negotiating.

Give it a week or two.

I wonder if Smith will sack Eddie for getting him an offer?
