Comments Thread For: Canelo: The Goal Was To Be a Free Agent, Not The Money

[GBP4LIFE]

Canelo ducked GGG.. let him go promote fights with Eddy Reynoso LOL..

In reality Al Haymon will be your promoter, go fight a scrub, and watch those PPV numbers look awful.

He will still make his money, in fact he could very well walk away with MORE MONEY overall because he will be in charge of his own Books! On top of the Guarantee he will get which will likely be Minimum $20 Million Per Fight, he will also get all his Back End Money from PPV Sales, ALL OF THE INTERNATIONAL MONEY! The TV Deals in Mexico will now go directly to him as well as all of the TV Rights from all over the world so those Back End Checks do comeback very BIG if done correctly and also depending on his opponents

Dude,are you that dense where you think in this climate canelo will be guaranteed 20mil by whomever?? Doubt even the Saudis are willing to guarantee that If triple g isn't his dance partner ffs.

Just wait and see but I think you will be in for a SHOCK just how much he will get paid

Pacquiao gets an alleged $20 Million Purse Minimum, just got it vs Thurman...so how much do you think a PRIME Canelo will get right now? Again, WE SHALL SEE! Even during a Pandemic somebody is going to make the BIG investment to get him on their Platform. FOX, Showtime/ViacomCBS, ESPN...somebody will give him what he wants!

I thought Canelo should of dumped Oscar in 2013 when Oscar checked himself into rehab the night before the Mayweather fight. Biggest night of his life at the time and his promotor checks himself into rehab???

We don't know if something happened that night. For all we know Oscar got too ****ed up to show up to the weigh in the night before. I'll never fault anyone for getting clean. If you think that was a distraction, just think how bad the distraction could have been fight night if Oscar HADN'T checked himself into rehab.

Plant needs a 5 month training camp doe

Exactly... Sitting down, working out chit with everyone involved. If this had to continue in court, it just wouldn’t have made any sense. Like most knowledgeable posters were saying, getting this resolved outside of court was the easier solution.

Spent the last several months complaining about money....now it was never about money. OK. Hopefully he's being truthful because he's not touching 35 mil per fight anytime soon.

NOONE WANTS TO WATCH ANOTHER GGG FIGHT! FFS! It’s done, over, finished, spent, hashed, horse is dead. Get it?

Fights someone twice and in the land of the mentally stunted “ducked.” Only a mental midget would make such a claim.

I guess that's one way of looking at it.

Canelo made the right decision. He’s outgrown Oscar. He doesn’t need him anymore and Oscar is a liability these days.

Secondly, DAZN’s boxing experiment has been disastrous so far, they can’t get the big fights done, they’ve hired unqualified personnel, and they were essentially looking to shelve Canelo as they can’t afford to pay his guarantee.

Not a fan of Canelo, but I respect his decision.
