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

Sure they wanna get paid for selling their "0" to you. You got the game rigged you f--king fraud. I hope the trend of fighters asking for "too much" to fight this con artist continues. CLOWN

Greedy opponents

They have to earn their way to be able to negotiate and be the one able to provide the money and crowd. Like Andy Ruiz he humbly just took the fight and earned his millions and some more after the 2nd fight. I understand Canelo in that sense.

Greedy bastard.. he's the top seller right now...pay these boxer then knock them out..they still wouldn't come close to what your purse will be ..

I don't blame them, they have seen his power level increase way over 9000 since he has been eating a tainted cow and become super sayian blue enabling him to ko lhws and who knows maybe cruisers too.

Dont kid yourself
Those light heavyweights or cruiserweights you speak of better be washed up
Or else no chance of knocking them out

Guessing it will be David Lemieux when it’s all said and done both Saunders & Smith have priced themselves out. Definitely not ideal but at least David has a puncher’s chance.

Sorry , but David Lemieux doesn’t even have a puncher’s chance
To big for middleweight and to small for super middleweight

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

Not Canelo’s biggest fan but I gotta agree with this ^^^^^

[Gerryggg]

If he is so worried about fight purses, maybe he should call out Artur Beterbiev, I'm sure he would table a reasonable purse that would make everyone happy

Being a B-Side opponent for Canelo should not be a life-changer. Beating Canelo should be a life-changer.

It’s rough times for Canelo but tbh he put himself there. I’m sure if this was straight up network plus PPV these guys would be lining up. Because they know their money is capped and it wouldn’t see anything really from much of the tv rights elsewhere and gate, they using what his opponents made as the base model for what they want. It’s not good and some of them probably don’t deserve it but once you show what you’re willing to pay that’s the bar in this game sadly. Atleast Floyd had gate international tv PPV and the confirmed purse to suit his opponents. It’s why Marquez and Cotto then got their highest pay days. Canelo himself nearly tripled his fight purse just off the backend.

Remind me how many belts Kovalov has won? I’ll also bet you $ he wins another one before he retires...

... I don't think Kova still has in him any kind of desire to fight again...

[MDPopescu]

Looks like this 11 fight contract might take 11 years.

... but, most likely, DAZN will not be here anymore...

A lot of opponents for Floyd and Manny were getting $5M or considerably less to fight them. Now we have potential opponents demanding $12 million or more to fight Canelo. They want to cash out on one big fight.
