Comments Thread For: Jermall Charlo: 'F--k It, I'll Go To 168' To Fight Canelo!

[GhostofDempsey]

and why pray tell would Golden Boy offer him that kind of career changing money by inflating his worth; When he has never earned more than one and a half million dollars in his entire professional career?

He doesn't even put enough meat in the seats or bring in any new boxing fans to the sport or is a mainstream, crossover box office draw. That claim sounds both absurd, ludicrous and insane.

If you listen to the PBC fanboys they'll tell you all of their fighters earn way more than what is reported. Even though many of them never even sniffed more than $2M, they believe they earned way more. I had this conversation with Charlo fans several months back when I insisted he never earned more than $2M.

Wilder was offered over $7M to fight Whyte in the U.K. when he had never earned over a million. That was just for Whyte.

Why hasn't Charlo fought anyone noteworthy in two weight classes now, yet believes he's the best at 160? He hasn't pursued the best fights.

And the reason why Andrade and Charlo can't fight each other is?????

Typical...We beat you on facts and you resort to racist names. You never said that Callum Smith had to beat Benavidez to earn a fight with Canelo. You never said Kovalev had to beat Beterbiev to earn a fight with Canelo. Never said Rocky Fielding had to beat BJS to earn a fight tih Canelo.

“We” lol.

Little by little this generation of black fighters you hype will be gone not having fought each other. How are the residual effects having wasted time on the twerking King.

A big fat Ruiz took the shine away from a twerking icon.

You crazy. I was never an AJ fan. Stop with the racial stuff, I'm a boxing fan just speaking the truth about Canelo and how we all know damn well Charlo and Andrade is a better fight than guys like Smith, Kovalev in his weakend/2 month rest state, Fielding, GGG, and everyone else he fights.

[TernceBudCharlo]

Why can't you just say "I hope he does fight charlo next"

[Verus]

Haymon made an offer and Canelo turned down the plant PPV

That fight was set aside because Haymon and his folks were dealing with the Spence v Garcia fight that was 2 weeks earlier and they did not think that they had enough time to conclude the Alvarez v Plant negotiations and market the second PPV fight in the 2 week time frame. Those negotiations will pick up in earnest, but it is easier to put together the Saunders fight first. Hearn can deliver that one, but I don't think Saunders will come through. He will find a way to get out of that one perhaps by saying or doing something ****** that will get him sanctioned for a few months. He will follow his old M.O. As for Plant, I hope he is serious about fighting Canelo because that would be a good fight. These guys don't really need Canelo to cement their legacy all they need to do is move up and fight Bivol or Beterbiev and if they win they the sky is the limit.

You’re bringing up a conversation I know nothing about so it comes off as rhetorical. Besides, we know YOU in particular would prefer to talk about slanging rocks in da hood!

Charlo needs to try to undespute middle while Canelo tries to undespute sm. That way the fight makes itself & mo money.

[SteveAnitaSmith]

Do yourself a favor Charlo and fight Benevides, plant, Andrade, and or Saunders. Get yourself a belt first. Canelo wants to clean out 168. Otherwise, you're wasting your time. But yes, this is a fight we want to see.

Exactly! He’s so full of ****, Charlo will probably fight some nobody for a vacant wba belt at 168

[SUBZER0ED]

Well, we know that Canelo picks his opponents carefully. And we know that he split with ODLH, because he wasn't happy with how he was managing his career. Let's see what happens now that he is a free agent. Charlo claims he never ducked Canelo nor was he ever presented a contract to fight him. Bottom line, there should be nothing preventing these two from meeting if they both really want to. The proof is in the pudding.

Which 160 pounders not named Golovkin Andrade or Alvarez are better than Dervy? And how is calling out Canelo and GGG not pursuing the best?
