Comments Thread For: Callum Smith on Canelo: You Want a Fight People Will Tune In For - You Have To Pay!

[Verus]

yeah that's what sucks. As fans, we didn't see mayweather vs pac when we wanted it. I personally wanted to see Canelo vs ggg happen at least 2 fights earlier than it did. I'm still waiting on Crawford vs spence. I still feel cheated that we never saw bowe vs Lewis. Guess you just reach a point as a fan where you lose your patience with the whole minimizing risk approach and the fans who support it. Good debate on your end either way. Respect.

I am lucky. I got to see a lot of great fights when I was coming up -- the 4 kings, Ali fighting anybody and everybody, Foreman, Roy in his prime, Monzon. Every week was a feast of good fights, and most on regular TV...Peace.

Callum Smith just doesn't get it.

You take the opportunity to fight Canelo and beat him so that you can then become the talk of the town. After that the money takes care of itself.

is this the same bum who got a gift vs Ryder? now he's making demands at the #1 pound for pound boxer? LMAOO

Can you imagine Floyd’s opponents telling him, i want to fight you but you have to pay me real good! The only explanation is they have no real confidence to win.

No, the only explanation is they are cheapskate tossers making the offer.
Should people fight the ginger midget just for the honour of being in the ring with him?

That is just ******. You can't expect professional boxers to fight just for the honour of fighting a ginger midget.
Canelo won't stay relevant if nobody fights him because he's too cheap. Maybe he should fight club fighters now, they'll fight for peanuts, he's obviously too precious to fight world class fighters these days.

He should just retire if he doesn't want to fight, not make embarrassing offers that nobody takes seriously.

You’ve been here for a hot minute. You know the posters. Is it a coincidence that all the Canelo haters in this thread also shill for PBC or feel Matchroom Eddie can’t be wrong? I just posted a thread of one of YouTube’s most respected Hosts, Ring IQ, school the situation that fighters aren’t confident to beat Canelo. You should hear it. Julius, Ring IQ, was one of the main channels that obliterated the LDBC. The LDBC are no longer strong in boxing anymore. The group got shattered and their fanbases just listen to things no longer boxing related. Karma Strikes Back!

Maidana was paid $3 million for the Floyd rematch.

These cowards today like Callum Smith aren't willing to take a purse like that. And they haven't even done anything to build their name recognition like Maidana had done when he beat Broner and roughed up Floyd in the first fight.

Canelo is not the one in the wrong here. It's the chickensh¡t boxers who aren't willing to gamble on themselves to beat him.

Canelo, who already had a massive following had a guarantee of 5 mil against Floyd. Maidana 1.5 and 3 in the rematch. Yet 5m is too low for BJS, Smith, Derev??

Sounds like Callum Smith priced himself out.

Theres no ***ing gate Callum. You cant expect pre covid level purses. IF you think you can beat Canelo take the fight and you can make bank in the rematch next year or your stock rises if there was no rematch anyways.

Callum Smith turned down 5 million?

Where else does he get 5 million to fight. That is very generous for a covid no gate fight.

He doesnt want it if he turned down 5 million, he isnt confident he can beat Canelo and is worried his career is over against the elite with an L against Canelo.
