At the end of the day it is called prizefighting and there are economics behind it. If you look at basic economics it doesn't make much sense for a Canelo-Trout fight to happen if there is a Mayweeather fight looming. High risk for Canelo and Mayweather. We as fight fans want Canelo-Trout but I can understand why GB doesn't want it and I am sure Showtime doesn't want Trout-Canelo.
Think about it, who else is Mayweather going to fight that would generate enough for him to get his 30 million? Alexander, Peterson, Matthyse, Khan?
Ellerbe knows this too just read his comments, he doesn't want to ruin a big payday for somebody who doesn't bring anything to the table financially like Trout.
My guess is Canelo will fight a Mexican 154 pounder in the co-main event on May 4th setting up a money fight in September.
