Canelo and ducking allegations?? Nah...

PBC ruined it by allowing Canelo to fight Jermell Charlo. They thought they could go with the angle of "Undisputed vs Undisputed" to sell PPV's, and that the boxing public would go crazy over it.

Absolutely not, it was a terrible fight for boxing and the hardcores knew it which was why it didn't meet expectations and why PBC ended up losing money on the deal. This all falls on PBC.

 

This post will get no love because it proves that the narrative the haters are running with is false..

 

You know, the more the info has come out about the whole Canelo vs Benavidez situation as of late, that's the more I think a lot of us have been wrong about the ducking claims. Fans only think about the fights and never the business side of things, but thats exactly how Canelo sees things and why he's operating the way he is.

Canelo doesn't want to fight him because the money for doing so has simply never been enough every time it was offered compared to what Canelo is already getting offered fighting the easy guys. Then the contract issue is another thing where they essentially tried to get a two-for-one deal it seems by having him fight Benavidez and Charlo for $35 million when it should've just been Charlo.

All of that is to say the Benavidez fight can still happen at some point when the money is right. Benavidez seems to be more interested in legacy to my knowledge as far as why he wants the fight. For Canelo though its a pure business move since he's already made his legacy. That puts the ball in his court and Benavidez has no choice but to play according to Canelo's rules.

When it was announced that Canelo would be going up against Munguia, the look on Jose Sr's face was great lol. He was ticked that Munguia gets a payday whereas David wont. I mean its understandable given they have been looking for this fight for a long time now, but then he knows the problem is Benavidez simply doesn't offer anything to Canelo as it stands. Munguia by comparison is not much risk for not too much less money.

The bottom line is fighting Benavidez wont add to the legacy and the money being offered to fight him isn't worth the risk, not when Canelo can steamroll weaker guys for nearly as much money.

 

I heard that Haymon also wanted Canelo to make a dancing in his underwear video like Tank did for him and how Wilder did that twerking video for Al but Canelo was like "GTF outta here man!"

 

Undisputed vs Undisputed didn't do horrible numbers. I think it sold 650K.

The issue was that everyone knew Canelo-Jermall would do considerably less buys because of how Jermell performed against Canelo, and how Jermall looked against Jose Benavidez Jr. The investors did not want to fork up the money.

PBC ruined it by giving Canelo an easy three fight deal at 35 mil a pop, and nor including Benavidez in that contract.

 

For a canelos 35 million Guarantee he needed to sell at least 1million buys for PBC not to lose money on the deal, 650k aren't bad numbers but for that price they didn't meet the expectations.

 

I'm not sure about the numbers or how much the fight sold, but yeah, clearly investors don't want to front the money for Jermall, as everyone thinks it will be another boring fight.

PBC royally ****ed up.

 

Mainly The casuals bought that fight because they were suckers for the "Undisputed vs Undisputed" Tagline. Canelo sold less PPVS against Bivol And GGG in the 3rd fight.

 

35 million+ ppv upside should be enough to make any fight for god sake thats just being greedy at that point

 

I knew Al screwed it up soon as the reports of wanting a discount on a pre agreed upon fight came out lol. So take less than your contracted guarantee to fight the guy we already planned on to cover for the purse increase for the Benavidez fight? He tried to Okey doke Canelo no wonder **** fell through.
