Terrible fight, Canelo is going to walk through Yildirim, but from a business standpoint you can’t fault him. Here’s his chance to capture a legitimate 168 title with little to no risk. Guess we can thank benevidez for this eyesore of a match. Looks like he’ll plant his flag at super middle

it's a paper title and doesnt count. no one in their right mind should count it as legitimate. callum smith is the wbc damond champ. canelo should face smith for the vacant belt. a legitimate match up. this is a farce, a disgrace, an illegitimate title match.Terrible fight, Canelo is going to walk through Yildirim, but from a business standpoint you can’t fault him.

How does a split even work in this situation? Normally, fighters split their share of the gate receipts, sponsorship money and PPV money, if any. So that if revenues for the fighters from all sources are $50 million, a 75/25 split yields $37.5 million for one fighter and &12.5 million for the other, but in this situation with there is no revenue from gate receipts, sponsorships or PPV. DAZN guarantees Canelo $30 million or thereabouts irrespective of circumstances. Where does the other fighter's money come from? If DAZN loses the bid and the fight is aired on network tv or another streaming source will the contract with DAZN prevent Canelo from fighting for the championship. I assume it doesn't, but who knows?Comment

That ok. If Smith doesn't make 168 he can move up to light heavy and fight Betebiev and then Bivol!Comment

I echo your sentiment. My use of a legitimate title solely alludes to the fact that he previously captured a regular title from fielding, hence this would be a “full” title. Until he faces a benevidez, smith or plant it’s hard to designate him as the man at 168. This fight literally does nothing to establish the hierarchy of the smw divisionit's a paper title and doesnt count. no one in their right mind should count it as legitimate. callum smith is the wbc damond champ. canelo should face smith for the vacant belt. a legitimate match up. this is a farce, a disgrace, an illegitimate title match.
