    As for Plant, no offer has been made that I am aware of. I did see Plant say the following:

    “So that means take half a month off, after a three-and-a-half month camp, and then go right back to work, right? Just so they can try and get me when I’m overworked. So you control the narrative, you control the media. They make an offer, knowing that I just fought, so when we say no, it seems like I’m ducking him. You control the narrative, you control the media. Don’t let them fool you.”

    Is Plant/Canelo a fight anyone wants to see?
    Charlo has admitted the offers, he also admitted he was told to shut up by Haymon.

    Plant says he doesn't want the fight.

    It's not just Canelo. PBC have blocked big fights at WW and HW.

      It's not about whether they want the fight. Canelo said no to GGG. Cool, then make the GGG/Andrade unification bout rather than GGG/Szermata and Andrade/Keeler.

      You can't have it both ways. We all accept that Canelo can choose who he fights and DAZN can't really force him. Once he makes that choice, then make the best fight available rather than bogus fights.

        He's trying but guy's like Charlo are turning down offers or can't accept because PBC are blocking. BJS looks like he's going to take the fight.

          This is about what is going on at MW. PBC has not blocked the big fights at MW. PBC is not responsible for Canelo not having an opponent yet for May 2020. PBC is not responsible for Smith, Murata and BJS rejecting offers or having contract talks break down.

          I posted what Plant said. He knows the deal and realizes he is being used for media purposes. You all get this to but admitting means blaming someone other than Haymon which you guys will not do.

          PBC has had the 2 biggest WW fights in 2019. PBC didn't force Crawford to resign with TR. PBC was part of the 3 biggest HWT fight in 2019, 2 of which saw a PBC fighter on dazn. PBC is part of the most anticipated HWT fight of the year on Saturday. PBC didn't force Fury to sign with TR and delay the rematch.

          PBC has its faults, but so does everyone else.

            You didn't answer the previous question-if Charlo allegedly turned down an offer in 2019, why are you bringing it up now in May 2020? Charlo wasn't made an offer this year.

            Hearn turned down offers so far this year. Looks like he is the one blocking fights from happening.

            BJS looks like he will take the least amount, so he will be given the fight. He hasn't done that yet. Calum and Murata also looked like they were "going to take the offer" but didn't.

              If they're negotiating how are they blocking? Blocking would be just ignoring the offers, like PBC and Charlo did.

                Difference is, Floyd was confident he could be Oscar. I'm starting to think a lot of these fighters aren't as confident as they claim to be. They see the Canelo fight as a cash out opportunity, rather than the next step in their quest for greatness. Say what you want about Floyd, but he wanted to be great. That seems to be missing from boxing these day.
                That's some revisionist history right there. Floyd took 33% of the purse vs. ODH, which ended up being 3x larger than his previous career high.

                This is no different.

                  You didn't answer the question-its 2020, why are you bringing up alleged offer made in 2019?

                  Blocking is what dazn is doing regarding the best fights at MW. All in house. Nothing preventing them from making them. Instead, you guys are yapping about Charlo and Plant, guys none of you think deserve a fight with Canelo aahead of GGG, andrade,callum or BJS.

                  Stop the fake smoke and mirrors BS and hold dazn accountable for not making the best fights. PBC made Porter/Spence so how hard can it be for dazn to make GGG/andrade?

                    It's a confirmed offer, confirmed by Charlo himself. Because some months have passed it should be erased? Charlo/PBC ignored the offer why would Canelo go back to him? Charlo and Premier Boxing Cowards need to step up.


                    You just admitted DAZN wants the fights now you're claiming they are blocking them again? Make up your damn mind. FFS.

                      I've only seen confirmation of an andrade offer, not Canelo. An offer allegedly made in 2019 has no bearing on 2020.

                      Well if they aren't going back to him, as you posted, how can they then "step up", as you asked? Canelo offered fights to Hearn guys and they rejected them. They are blocking fights from happening.

                      Dazn isn't making the best fights. Instead we are getting GGG/Szermerta, Andrade/Keeler, Pulev/AJ and Canelo/???. That has nothing to do with PBC.
