    Does anyone actually want Crawford v Canelo apart from Turki?

    Fck Turki anyway. Comes over into boxing calling himself ‘the face of boxing’ and throwing his toys out the pram when he can’t just buy people. It’s easy to spend someone else’s money.

    Bloke is a scumbag anyway as shown below. Saying that though, this sport bent over backwards for Kinahan so he’ll fit right in.

    I think bud v canelo would have huge viewings numbers so I would suggest there is massive demand for it.

    I couldn't give two monkeys about Turki, I just wanna see guys like canelo and bud in competitive fights and in this era, only throwing big money at the fighters gets those made.

    It is what it is, canelo makes enough money cherry picking his fights so will continue to do so

    Hmm think it’s a bit harsh on Canelo that mate. There’s always someone else that people think a fighter should be fighting.

    It wasn’t long back that he steamed through the 168 division in 10 months then went up and fought Bivol.

    What's your opinion on Kinahan now? Is he still involved?

    Yep. All his little minions (Sam Jones, Lee Eaton etc) set up management companies for a load of ex MTK fighters. Jones can’t actually get a license so all his fighters are listed on the BBBoC website with other MTK blokes (Eaton, Tom Stalker and Asgar Tair).

    He’s got fighters like Rocky Fielding and Jono Carroll out in Dubai for him running gyms and what not. Carroll recently converted to Islam in order to stay in the country ffs.

    Didn’t FM fight Canelo at LM?
    Bud is going to have to fight at SMW the jump up in weight is too great and Canelo would likely win very easily.

    Had no clue about any of this except Sam Jones. Rocky Fielding out in Dubai and Carroll converting to Islam.... Jesus Christ.

    That reason alone should end all discussions of this fight but for some reason people are buying into it.

    Fielding and Carroll are definitely both dense enough to believe their mate Dan has their best interests at heart. Serves them right if it all goes tits up for them out there
