I personally dont care about this fight. I wish Canelo had fought him instead of avoiding trying to become undisputed at 160 but I would have rather seen Canelo fight Charlo or a GGG trillogy Demetrius Andrade - 31 - 0 Billy Joe Saunders - 30 - 0 (before facing Canelo) Demetrius Andrade - slick southpaw Billy Joe Saunders - slick southpaw Demetrius Andrade - fought nobody Billy Joe Saunders - arguably has a couple decent wins Demetrius Andrade - not known for his power Billy Joe Saunders - not known for his power These guys are pretty similar, so what happened to Saunders you ask ? LOL This is a foregone conclusion, Canelo would stop him
Its really quite simple. Too much risk with little reward. Andrade could've helped his case by forcing attention on himself by getting a name on his resume but he didn't. Boxing is buisness 1st and Canelo could make the same money fighting a Yildirim as he would fighting Andrade.
True. Canelo had signed a $30mil(ish) per fight deal at DAZN. Andrade has no real fanbase and that matters business wise.
