I expect Showtime and Dazn to be the main suitors. I don't think ESPN has the budget to give him the $150M+ I suspect will come his way.

Canelo hasn't fought a top fighter is in his 20s since trout and since then, Trout has been exposed as a high level gate keeper for the better fighters in the division. I don't see charlo getting a Canelo fight until maybe 2020.

Originally posted by Butch.McRae View PostOne trend I've noticed over the years on these boards is:
1. The over-hyping of young non-black fighters, who show just a little promise (i.e. Munguia, a young and tough but very flawed fighter) but have no bodies to support the hype. Another great example is that bum Lemeuix (who's has literally lost to a career sparring partner); and
2. the down playing of black fighters who have been in the game for years with good wins and showing little signs of vulnerability. Examples include the Charlos, Hurd and Gary Russell (yes he lost you Loma, but that's like saying he lost to Floyd imo)
*Now before you all start crying victim mentality, you should know that I'm anything but that. (I can run my CV if that makes you feel better, but know I'm young and doing very very well and I'm highly credentialed.)
I usually try to avoid the race point but I'm just tired of seeing the same trends on here. Fans have to stop with the nonsense and start keeping this objective.
There's absolutely no logical reason why someone should think a true journeyman (and fairly low skilled fighter) like Lemeuix deserves a fight with Canelo and Charlo doesn't. That just screams of a double standard. What makes it worse in my opinion is the age of posters here. Most of you guys are late 30s or older and you still haven't come to a point in life where you can call things straight up.
Charlo is the only other guy at the weight besides Saunders and GGG who's been an actual champion and defended his belt. If he's not deserving, then who is? Lol

Danny is on his last fight with HBO, so I think his team will look to follow Canelo wherever he lands. Saunders can fight anywhere but the new ESPN deal with Warren makes things more interesting.
I think it's safe to assume that GGG will be going to ESPN next. Bob has been scooping up his own affiliates (similar to Haymon's gang) to fill that ESPN calendar. I expect Loeffler to take that bag when it comes lol
Boxing is such a cluster ***** lol

Force the fight what the hell has Charlo accomplished. Stop the racial BS. Charlo has not earned the fight because he has not earned it yet. Fight and beat a fellow black fighter like Jacobs and punch your ticket .
