Callum Smith and Billy Joe Saunders might be calling GBP’s bluff, much like Kovalev did.
Kovalev knew he was one of two opponents DAZN approved for Canelo’s next fight and knew Canelo didn’t want to fight GGG. So he told told GBP to f**k off and the result was an offer that doubled. Instead of $6 million (which every Canelo fan said Kovalev should jump on), Kovalev made $12 million.
Smith and Saunders might be doing the exact same thing.
They know Canelo won’t be fighting at 175 next because his team has said that.
They know Canelo won’t fight GGG. They know he won’t fight Charlo because De La Hoya made that rejected offer public. They know he won’t fight Andrade because Canelo’s been avoiding him for a decade. They know he won’t be fighting Caleb Plant because Plant said it won’t happen. They know it won’t be Murata because those negotiations fell apart and the results were made public.
It’s either them, Benavidez (which also isn’t likely) or someone no one wants.
So they’re playing it smart and trying to get as much money as possible.
Let’s see if Canelo fights one of them or schedules a fight no one cares about.
