This is old quotes from this interview he gave weeks ago
and is a different excuse then he gave at his own post fight press conference where he never said it wasn't a legitimate offer and cited that his team got the offer and he himself said he wouldn't take it because he didn't have enough time to rest lol Now he says well they didn't give me a legitimate offer only after he received public backlash from ducking the fight. He already admitted my team told them no (Golden Boy has also confirmed they were told no by Plant's representation) and after he told the world no I won't take it why would Golden Boy move on and send a official contract offer when you verbally turned down the offer?
If the issue was I want a written contract offer his team would of told Golden Boy send offer to Haymon and he would of told the press I'll take the fight we waiting on a written offer. His team could of forwarded the offer to Haymon and told him to contact Golden Boy. This is second excuse for a fight he and his team admit they turned down. It's not Haymon needs to be involved or offer needed to be written they didn't want it.

Now he's saying well after all that why didn't they send me a official offer? If you admit your team turned the fight down and there is video of you telling Golden Boy and the entire world you are turning down the opportunity why would they continue considering you let alone send you a what offer sheet to sign? You know Canelo fights in May and you took yourself out of the running so they moved on you don't send a faxed contract when someone has already verbally turned down the offer. 
Sounds like his team didn't think he couldn't beat Canelo and left him hanging so he himself had to come up with a public excuse on the fly. He's getting backlash for ducking the fight and a pretty laughable excuse.
