Comments Thread For: Callum Smith Drops Financial Ball in Sidestepping Canelo's 168 Return

[Blond Beast]

Where are DAZN subs now compared to the Kovakev fight? If they aren’t less then why won’t they pay even less than that to have the biggest fight available?!!! If over $11 million was fine for an opponent last year? Then why is less than that not acceptable this year if subs are the same or better? Maybe subs are way down and that’d make more sense. But if they are the same or better then explain it?

This is all deflection. This is like Callum Smith complaining to Sky, “well how much is Sky making now in 2019-2020... surely it continues to grow, I want more.”

Canelo would add Mundo to his resume

Canelo missed a fight date last year because he couldn’t make a deal. It’s a date he was promoted and implied he would be fighting on, didn’t happen. So who got ripped off? The subs. Remember when he said he was going to fight four times in a year? He might not even fight this May, it’s not even official yet. They can say the best are asking too much but it doesn’t change the fact that that’s what it costs. Miss the date or fight someone who comes cheap. Who loses out there? The subs. Canelo doesn’t fight as often as advertised. That screws the subs. Do u get it? Would u really pay for DAZN and be happy to not see Canelo fight the best possible opponent or even fight at all because ur concerned the biggest cash cow might have to overpay them? They’re all overpaid!!!! If Canelo misses the date again or fights a much lesser opponent only the fans get screwed. Ur subscription will cost the same it Canelo misses the date or it he fights a bum. Team Canelo ain’t broke why u concerned with their pocket? If Canelo fights someone worth one Tenth of BJS or Smith will Canelo make any less that what he woulda vs either of them?!!!

Canelo is the only boxer whom made $17mil in Gate revenue for 2019 which included Vegas.

“Missed a date” vs “rescheduled a date” but its obvious the game you’re playing. How do you even apply that to Smith? Canelo delivered the fight in November. What is Callum going to say, “Canelo missed his Sept. date and pushed it to November...fans know this so I want more..”. Is that your point? Lol

Your agenda got you saying dumb stuff bruh.

Hearn is doing a terrible job getting Smith fights. He won the Super series & should have struck whilst the iron was hot. Instead he's becoming forgotten. Terrible management.

[Devils Advocate]

Exactly! Callum is a Fool!

These guys want to cash out to face Canelo then cry when the cash cow moves on. Unbelievable!

What an idiot Callum is. If he beat Canelo, and rightfully could, he would probably make a lot more from a rematch. And not only that, he would become the golden goose.

If both keep winning GBP is going to have to pay Smith eventually because he's the number 1 guy in the division currently

Disagree with the article. Reportedly, Callum turned down a decent but not great offer, and expected to receive a counteroffer - which is normal in any business. Golden Boy said ehhh and went after BJS. Don't think this qualifies as dropping the ball at all.

Did Callum make a counter offer? How much was his counter?

According to Smith, both he Saunders rejected the first offer. Golden Boy went back to the table with Saunders and to the media saying Smith doesn't want the fight.
