Comments Thread For: DAZN Won't Approve Avni Yildirim As Canelo Alvarez's Next Opponent

[Jab jab boom]

Ha ha ha, pugmire is the biggest hater. He requested the WBC belt shot, not to fight this dude. The plan was to have him and Smith fight for the title since they been negotiating, The WBC threw this out there. I trust Yahoo sports who had a story on this, not this dude.

that's what you though was the plan? You're a fk'in dummy. The wbc is going to put 2 guys who were nowhere to be seen on their 168 pound rankings together for a vacant title fight?... Especially one who's a champion for a different organization? No you imbecile. They give canelo the shot as he has their bullshet wbc franchise title at 160 and they use that as justification to give him a shot at 168... Then they put him vs the scrub they already have ranked #1. Canelo knew the plan and at no point thought the wbc would order him vs Smith for their belt.

he did 290 with Liam Smith and Liam Smith is more known that this dude. 290 ppv sold isn't shet. It's a known fact that dazn #s for Canelo fights haven't not been anywhere near what they were hoping. He's not the draw you want him to be. Now Forget the fact that you adore Canelo like a king and feel he should have free reign to do whatever he wants, state a valid boxing related argument as to why dazn should be willing to pay over 30 mil for Canelo to fight this scrub from turkey. Go on... I need a good laugh.

****, doubt anybody ever heard about Liam before the Canelo fight but still #’s don’t lie 290,000 PPV buys are still solid against a no name like Smith. If Oscar prices this right and puts a solid undercard with Vergil Ortiz as the co-main event wouldn’t surprise me if it gets those type of #’s for this PPV card. Anyhow, Canelo will be the new 168 lbs WBC champ by the end of the yr. Haters will always hate on shiny things and nobody shines brighter than Canelo in Boxing

Ahhhh I love the saltiness with you guys love it!!!!

At 30 canelo is a waaaaay bigger star and a richer one than fairy Floyd was at 30 and will only continue to get bigger so keep on hating that only Helps him.

what does canelos money have to do with you? You're out here celebrating his money like you see some of that. You're still a broke hobo waiting for your mom to finish cooking the meatloaf while you play video games in the basement. So back to my question... You couldn't name any credible boxing related reasons as to why this would be a good match that dazn should pay for? That's what I thought. Listen, if you're a groupie and Canelo can do no wrong in your eyes, then just accept that. But keep it to yourself. You trying to defend nonsense just makes you look more and more like a ret@rd with no standards.

He’s definitely not the star so many want him to be or claim he is, especially not now since hIs profile has truly suffered on the deadzone

Callum needs to stop ducking Canelo.

Liam Smith was a belt holder and 154 and was from a known boxing family in the uk. If anything can be said about uk fans, its that they follow boxing and support their guys. Lima Smith was known enough and known more than this pilgrim guy. You sound ridiculous thinking Canelo can get the type of money he's been getting if Oscar goes independent with a ppv. Are you aware there's a pandemic? There won't be any live crowds, hence no live gate $? You want vergil Ortiz on the undercard, some other guy posted he wants the Garcia (who is already complaining about not being paid enough) vs Campbell fight on the undercard, and yall expect cheap ass Oscar who was already trying to lowball every potential Canelo opponent, to put up the kind of $ it'd take to put that together and hope that there are enough Canelo groupies around to pay for a bullshet mismatch? C'mon now, think logically.

[BendOver]

Good Yildrim doesn't deserve a title shot the Turkish must have some good connections to be in line when they havent done anything since getting demolished by Chris Earbanks Jr.

no connections. He fits the profile

Stand your ground DAZN

Who ever said Canelo would be making the same money he’s guaranteed with DAZN? Not me. Obviously, Canelo would be getting a percentage of the PPV buys as well as a minimum fee not 35 mil. The end goal for Canelo doing an independent PPV fight is for him to become the 168 lbs WBC champ which is what he wants that’s why he requested to fight for the vacant belt. Stop trying to hype Liam “no name” Smith into a bigger name than he ever was no one knew this cat besides Frank Warren befor he fought Canelo

Face of boxing since Lara fight - Angulo (shot), Kirkland (shot), Cotto (over-the-hill), Khan (cherry), Liam (cherry b/c Andrade had the WBO), Chavez Jr (shot cherry), GGGimmick I (2nd defeat), GGGimmick II (legit win), Jacobs (ok boxer but no HofF level), Kovalev (double rehydration cherry). Basically, it's alot of recognizable names but not a lot real fights. I'm not sure if Canelo is the male version of Amanda Serrano, a division jumper who grabs opportunitic fights.

AJ is clearly the face of boxing.

Note: We don't even know what GGGimmick is bc he has a wack resume like Wilder.
