Golden Boy releases Andrew Cancio

Motorcity Cobra

All he said was he wanted Golden Boy to put him other places besides fantasy springs because he wants to build his fanbase so he can quit his job at the gas company.

Golden Boy has gotten arrogant since getting that DAZN deal

So just days after losing his WBA 130 pound title, Golden Boy has released Andrew Cancio. Wasn't just his loss, but some comments he made to the media about GBP prior to last weekends fight. Unfortunate end to the 2019 Cinderella story [Link View Has Been Removed. Click Here To Unlock This Content.]

Hopefully someone signs him.

Cancio said he had a great camp, but he fought like he wasn't trying to be there Saturday night. His body language was really negative; I was wondering at the time if he was having personal problems or something.

Would love for Top Rank to put him in against Jamel Herring.

I saw someone mention in another thread he had alcohol issues or something, and while I ain't taking it at face value it was just left field enough to make me wonder.

Still a bit shitty of GBP to drop him just after an L.

GBP caught me off guard.
I thought I'd hear about them signing Xu Can instead of this.
Hope Cancio made some decent money and invested.

He made 75k against Machado. 125k in the rematch. Alvarado purse isn't published anywhere but I bet it was another 100k-150k.

After taxes and paying everyone, he's probably put 150k or so in the bank during this title run. Not at lot.

WOW! Hopefully he gets picked up and get that good payday he been hoping for. I can see maybe PBC grabbing him and building him back up and giving him that good Payday fight with Leo Santa Cruz which I think would be a fun fight stylistically at least

Not a fan of throwing fighters away, but this seems like something more than just that not sure what really happened

Promoters have too much power in this sport. The fighters should have more.

He still works a full time job with the local gas company
