Comments Thread For: Canelo Annoyed: They Are Asking For The Moon and Stars To Fight Me!

"I think they should pay me to fight me" -Saul Canelo Alvarez.

It's ok, Carnelo. Errol Spence is dealing with the same nonsense with Crawford and his silly 50/50 split demands.

When these fighters know you're the top draw, they're going to try to get a slice.

Not even a slight comparison. Canelo has been taking on top shelf competition sense he was young. He also fought his biggest rival twice. Spence isn't even in the same league.

I've always been a fan of Canelo and I can admit he has turned into a diva as he's climbed to the top of the sport. I feel like he picked up a lot of Oscar & Floyd's unsavory attributes when it comes to fight demands

But when it comes to purses I think he's been decently fair. I mean look at what Floyd was doing...
32M compared to 1.5M for Maidana
37m compared to 3M for rematch
32M compared to 4M for Berto
41.5M compared to 5M for Canelo

Guys were hopping in there to fight Floyd for way less than what Canelo is giving guys. And the pay gap is way smaller. But for whatever reason the outcry wasn't as drastic as it is today

Great Point but completely different scenario. ALL of those fights was In House with GBP! Oscar joked all the time about Mayweather beating all of this fighters back then.

Why is it different? Well because GBP literally don't have ANYTHING for Canelo other than Lemieux and that is a major problem for them right now. They have no choice but to "Work With Other Promoters" yeah they will need Tank Davis for Ryan Garcia eventually, they will need a Benavidez, Caleb Plant, Callum Smith and BJS for Canelo at 168 those are all the Real Champions at 168

I think the reason Mayweather was able to "low-ball" fighters was because people not only wanted the exposure in fighting him but the chance to hand him his first loss. Canelo fighting on DAZN doesn't do much for exposure and he already has a loss by Floyd so his opponents motivation seems to be much more money driven.

Canelo should fight Munguia in Mexico.

[Thuglife Nelo]

...As They Should! If you're rumored to make $35 Million or whatever a fight yeah don't expect them all to take 1.5-3 Million and be OK..

What were Floyd’s guarantees plus PPV upside per fight? You think his opposing fighter’s mgmt wouldn’t explain the splits to their fighters?

In the industry will write about this, only elevating Canelo’s stance that he’s being ducked.

Send a contract to David Benavidez u piñche puta

Yeah because boxers are greatly motivated by handing someone their first loss and would take a lot less money to do it lol.
