    In that case the NSAC need to take away his boxing license so he cannot fight any more. The CSAC know how to do it they did it to Margarito who was ready to fight anyone

    People weren't mad about the split, it was the fact that even when Usyk accepted the split, Fury still played games.

    What his team says has literally zero to do with David getting the fight. That is more silly narrative. If Canelo wanted to fight him, they could say anything they wanted. As if a boxer cares what someone team or even the Boxer says lol. Charlo talked crap about Canelo and he got the fight. Canelo said opponents needed to earn fights not sit and wait for a pay day, then he went after the Charlo's, who literally sat on the couch waiting for the phone call. You need to understand Canelo is totally full of crap. He just wants easy fights for good money, so the illusion of greatness can continue.

    But Plant did make a lot of demands. I don't think you know what talking BS means. It means lying, and I am still waiting for evidence. You are just running with the narratives. There as a bit of confusion with the Morrell fight mainly down to Sampson. Big deal. David and his Dad don't talk **** they talk facts.

    They are both ducking & marinating the fight
    It’s PBC & Al Haymon the guys who eventually gave us PAC vs Floyd.
    It’s what they do
    Eventually they will give us Nelo vs Benevidez too.

    At the end of the day, the promoters have to acquiesce to the fighters' demands. If two guys really want to get it on, the fight happens.

    We eventually got Spence/Crawford because Spence was adamant that he wanted the fight, even with a megafight vs. Canelo on the horizon. Do you really think PBC wanted him mixing up with Crawford for a fraction of what they were going to get off the Canelo card? Of course not.

    Canelo/Benavidez would happen if Canelo did what Spence did; it's just that ginger does not want the fight and has been rather public about it.

    As for Pac/Floyd, we should -as fans- never want to see that sort of delay happen again.

    Not here. Canelo isn't their guy; he was nothing more than a mercenary on a three fight deal. Benavidez is their long term investment, but he isn't box office. The only way to "maximize profits" here would have been to get Canelo -who was always going to jump ship eventually- to fight THEIR GUY before jumping ship and hope Benavidez would acquit himself well. That's why they tried to slide Benavidez in that third slot.

    But don't let me tell you. What has Canelo always said about fighting Benavidez?

    "I'm the king"
    "I fight who I want"

    Etc., etc.

    David ducked a guy with 10 fights and who brings nothing to the able? Ok cool. They tried to fight him last year, but Morrells team ghosted them and morrells trainer said he was not ready. He tried to talk crap after that clout chasing. Sampson said some nonsense that the fight was signed but thats it. Benavidez and his dad don't talk bs.

    1 thing I know for sure is the big fights never get made in the media. Whenever it's this many stories around a fight it won't get made until they stfu. Always happens that way, things get quiet and fights get made but as long as Benavidez Sr. Is negotiating with the internet we may never see it. And yes he talks way to much and basically has been caught lying in interviews before.
