The reason why Canelo wont fight Benavidez

Hearn interview on IFL said he spoke to David's Manager and said the fight could still be made if Canelo fights on Dazn to which the Manager replied "Great, just let Amazon have US TV rights" lol

Al Haymon has these people under a spell.

Sampson as a Manager should not give a damn about Amazon Prime. His main concern should be getting the best deal for his fighter.

Like seriously if that who Benevidez has representing him then he needs to get a New Manager.

 

That 50milly you keep bringing up is CAP.
Source?

even if the $50 million were real Canelo wants it guaranteed upfront - PBC can’t pay cause they broke = CAP

Floyd didn’t want to pay sanctioning belts for the trinkets so he dumped them
He loves money & we know this.
Who cares about belts anyway?
Besides canelo & the sanctioning bodies.

Ryan G never had a trinket & he is RICH

 

Slave mentality

 

It's not cap. Eddie Hearn is on record rejecting 50 million prior to Canelo's PBC deal.

That's trash lol. How can they expect to ask for TV rights for a guy that just did 60k ppv. This fight is just stupid all around.

 

well if tthats tthe case good business move they $eem to know their worth.
How much did a non prime Floyd get for fighting a past prime PAC again?
Over 100 Milly?
Like I said for the fans he is ducking
which I am a fan so I can agree.

but to a multi millionaire athlete
Or just in general it’s good business to know & negotiate your worth
Sucks for everyone but them.

But we all agree that DB isn't box office, so how can Canelo expect much more for facing him?

 

Ths has been answered. If you believe that story it was because DB was never in the plan and if they wanted Canelo to get them out of a hole then the price PBC had to pay extra.

Standard practice for someone with leverage,

 

If they marinate for a year to 2
After David does what Canelo couldn’t
Win LHW Strap or all of them
Catch weight mega fight at 170lbs
Wait & see.
Past it potbelly 36 year old Canelo
“Dee final PeyDey”

 

Step back for a second. Canelo was with PBC, he could have easily fought Benavidez in May, he leaves and now they are trying to negotiate a fight with Benavidez? And Benavidez is apparently the bad guy now? Don't you see how ridiculous this is on its face? This is all nonsense. The fight was there to be made, Canelo ran from it, he does not want the fight. Hearn is just clout chasing as usual.

 

Rafael said Canelo was not willing to take less than his guarantee to face Charlo, that he was willing to face Benavidez but not at that price that was agreed as Benavidez wasn't part of the original deal. Was willing to work something out but they couldn't agree to terms. PBC screwed the pooch here. Let Canelo walk away and then think they can still ask for the TV rights lol. They only have the B side in the equation now, and a lower case B at that lol.

 

What a load of incoherent dribble.

PBC said they were willing to pay Canelo his FULL guarantee to face drunk charlo, only if he agreed to fight Benavidez. He walked out on them. Those are the reported facts. He did not want to fight Benavidez period. Now pretending he does and trying to make deals from the other side is laughable. Of course the haters and fan boys are running with it though. lol.

You should be asking why didn't Canelo agree to fight Benavidez in May for MORE than he would get paid for fighting a drunk. When Canelo was standing in the ring post fight Charlo, and he was asked would he fight Benavidez in May. Why did he say 'I don't know' rather than YES, I want to fight him in May?

 

Being angry is really **** for comprehension and does you no favors man. Dan Rafael did a report on his inside understanding of the situation. He stated that they were willing to give him the full guarantee for Charlo of he fought Benavidez next. The problem wasn't with Benavidez being the opponent it was the price. His exact words were Canelo was willing to fight Benavidez but not at that price. Can't get any clearer than that. You're asking pretty much all the wrong questions to understand what happened and why.

 

Maybe the small matter of dealing with a tinpot organisation who cant even fulfil a 3 fight contract and were messing with his money wasnt that appealing when he can go elswhere and not get treated like that.

Canelo was given no reason to trust the PBC and he certainly didnt need them. Once they wanted to mess with his money he correctly got out of there.

 

What price did he want for Benavidez?

...Or is this also the wrong question?
