    The Ginger Demon is the richest fighter in the sport. He earns obscene purses everytime he fights. Why isn't he demanding $200 M to fight Munguia if Benavidez brings nothing to the table and is less worthy than Mung?

    Beterbiev and Gvozdyk earned $1.5 M a piece for facing prime versions of each other in a unification match up, Clenelo tips waiters more than that. Beterbiev and Bivol weren't asking for $200 M to face each other and even with the Saudi involvement they will still like earn a fraction of what Clenelo earns for facing binmen when they square of with each other.

    Like I said, it's much worse when huge stars like Cleneo duck fighters. He's the last person in the sport who is in need of more money. He thinks he can hold all the belts hostage and duck and cherrypick from here on out because he's ''paid his dues'' and when he takes a risk that risk is always greatly minimized by the fact he has the judges in his pocket to transform the L into a W. There is zero chance of him ever getting robbed and every chance his opponent will and that applies to everytime he steps foot in a ring. Female dog ass ho. Chicken ass female dog punk.

    A king must defend his throne not cower in a puddle of their own urine in the darkest corner of the coop.

    I would just like to add that anyone defending Canelo here is out of their rabbit ass mind. Thanks.

    They want him to lose cleanly.
    The guy who lost to Floyd wasnt as good as the Canelo that came after.
    And Bivol was at 175 where he never should've been at in the first place.
    People want him to lose at 168 so they can go "See he's not the best".
    And 2018-2021 Canelo beats any version of Floyd ever.
    That should tell you how high I rate Canelo.

    Because they're not Black or Mexican so they're fine with them ducking each other.
    When two races dominate the sport, the others sometimes like to cherish the couple of trinkets they have.

    Dude, you’re a Stan to the highest degree. All of your posts give it away. This post is a perfect example. If DB is a minnow, then every fight after Cotto, was against a minnow.

    There is no version of Canelo that beats Floyd and I’d probably be classified as a Floyd hater. Canelo simply doesn’t have that kind of footwork to find an elusive fighter like Floyd.

    I've never said that I'm asking question based on observations. A fighter with mega demand, that supposedly Canelo is lowballing is a guy that actually sells fights correct? I've never said once David didn't deserve the fight, i do respond when other guys who get the fight are trashed because they supposedly don't deserve it. I've said he doesn't really deserve it more than other guys to the point of uproar unless you still believe the fairytale of rankings over money.

    You don't rate him as high as we do, we want to see him facing his top contender, you're scared he loses. We rate him higher.

    If telling the truth is a stan to you so be it. In a business capacity? That's accurate if you read my post. He's fought some good to great fighters but not a single one that's in his league from a business sense from Cotto on, youve gotta be kidding me here. I'll stand on that all day everyday.

    Yes, we have seen it plenty. It’s ok for him to fight other minnows, just not DB. Cut it out.

    The thing is, I believe he's going to fight David. I'm just more patient than most apparently. My commentary is about the notion that we're going to die if he doesn't get the fight and that he's moved mountains to get it when He hasn't. You guys are now upset he said 150-200 mil. Yet mere hours later Benavidez's promoter says I'm confident I can get him that money for the fight. No complaining in the slightest, what does that tell you?

    It tells me that Benavidez desperately wants the fight and his team is willing to meet any demand that Canelo has come up with as roadblocks to a potential matchup.

    If Canelo is serious, he will simply state his price again when he doesn't have a fight signed and is free to negotiate. He can then wait for the negotiations to finalize and not take "stay busy" fights against Berlanga and Charlo.

    Unfortunately that's really all he's supposed to do and can do to get the fight.

    Well, it's not "supposed" to be this way, now is it? But it is what it is.

    His team also let slip that they would be open to a rehydration clause. That's a rookie mistake in terms of negotiation. At least get to the table first and let the Saudis dictate.

    When you call the ranking of a fighter over money made is a fairytale YOU!! are one of the supposed boxing fans aiding & abetting corruption in the sport. A boxing champion should be decided in a contest between the top two ranked boxers in that weight class with the legitimate winner of that contest being declared the true champion& NOT the diva who the state commission& Vegas boxing call their cash cow because he makes them the big $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ THAT is CORRUPTION!!!!!!!!!! my friend nothing more nothing less
    Boxing as a combat sport is now on its knees & people like you who claim to be boxing fans yet will watch the sport eventually die. Just think about it
