    Kovalev rejected $6 million, got $12 million from GBP

    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.

      If Plant beats Benavidez I guarantee Golden Boy makes another offer. People talking "the ship has sailed" bull**** are speaking from their ass.

          WBA - Smith
          WBO - Saunders
          IBF - Plant (not available on short notice)

              Ok that’s cute, factor this in... canelos money is guaranteed regardless of who he fights... Kovalev, although not the same fighter he was years ago, brought a name a belt in a different weight class and enhanced canelos legacy. Canelo made history with Kovalev and that’s what team canelo and gbp paid for... Kovalevs name brings weight to a legacy. Callum and bjs, although they may be tougher fights in this moment then Kovalev, don’t enhance that legacy as much as the Krusher did

                My wife poised me off and said cantaloupe. Cinnamon is good rooking. Looking. He’s messican like you... bro, we Mexicans fight. Each other then we make French people with guns Shizu my themselves. One man I met at Narita international airport was trying to explain in good English, the Spanish. Ground staff. I dated stewdesses. I got tired and irritated by this ground staff handset female repeating like a broken record.

                I went to that ticket counter. And said some negative things and asked for her boss. Then. I broke it down to him. This family needs to get back to Mexico so he can give a lecture. On meso American Aztec beliefs. Etc. ... I punished her boss in Japanese. They sat together and TIL even now. My wife and I visit them when we can... Mexican people. amazing. They give the best and share what they have.

                My too Leopoldo Polo was my idol. He just worked. He loved working. No puto can say Mexicans are lazy...


                I am lazy. Save miney pay my bills and love being on the beach in Baja califas.

                I think I make or give Mexicans a bad name. I like to sleep think and somehow I get paid..


                One of my Chicano idols is Chechen Marin. He collects Chicano art. At ucb I took a Chicano studies class ... my dad was down with the United farm workers union


                At cal. UC Berkeley I was trying to distance myself firm my ancestors. I did that frat boy chit. I tried. Some white rich puto was talking crap to a Mexican server and I stepped to him.. delta chi

                I got asked to leave. **** them.
