Team Bivol don't give a ****. For years, Bivol was unknown fighter, with no ambition, having only one belt. Two fights before Canelo was not that good and even Bivol admitted that.
He’s been getting fed lesser fighters for millions with DAZN and got the Canelo payday; I think he’s doing just fine.
You know what you might be right about your analysis on Bivol just not being very hungry or lacking the want & make a great point about if it weren't for the Canelo fight what would he be doing now that is so different to his present situation & the answer would remain the same, Either way what a waste & then on the other side you got the highly motivated Beterbiev who just loves to fight & needs/wants it more with his can't miss fights, an actual humble warrior.
It's an extremely difficult stand off, he wants a crack at Alvarez's four belts after beating him easily at 175 so has little stomach for a rematch there, Canelo wants a straight shot at beating him at the same weight without risking his belts or criticism of beating a drained Bivol. How do you solve that dilemma? If Bivol had little interest in being paid a fortune for the same conditions he already won at, what happens? Canelo has refused the 168 opportunity and jumped to PBC but who knows it might be the only opportunity he has to get revenge if he comes out of the Charlo and Benav gauntlet.
Bivol's motivation may be related to money. His performances may drop off now he has lost all his bargaining power.
