    The team from the Boxing Rant Podcast is stating that one of their guys talked directly to Caleb Plant this weekend and the reason for the hold up straight from Plant mouth is his side wants a 70-30 split with Alvarez and the Alvarez side is resistant to that demand.

    Oh well, the plot thickens

    Disappointing but not shocking. Caleb Plant was never supposed to be anything other than a bigger name to go on Benavidez's resume. With the latter's repeated self-destruction, the former was thrust into the limelight his talents didn't deserve, and Uncle Al knows it. That's why he's not treating him like a fighter he's taking care of, but a bargaining chip to entice Canelo, dangling "Undisputed" in front of everyone's favorite ginger like a cat toy, all while whispering in Canelo's ear, "You don't really want freedom, do you?"

    All Al's plans are shot, so he needs to get whatever he can out of this. Personally? I hope Ginger Snaps tells the PBC to go **** itself. With Benavidez's crack-pipe. While playing that sad ode to Caleb Plant's daughter that he never went to see or support while she was alive and then turned into a marketing machine to make her unlikeable father slightly less unlikable. The super middleweight division is trash, and Canelo isn't a boxer; he's a garbage man taking out the stinky piles of waste. Let this one fester a bit before they finally crack and have him take it out.

    According to ESPN, a deal is super close to being reached for September 18th. It's looking like it's going to be a Fox PPV card.

    Your comment looks silly in retrospective.

    How so? Uncle Al didn't get the options he wanted. He had a staring contest with Canelo and he blinked.

    Hearn was talking **** as usual. PBC offered Canelo a three fight deal which was turned down for a one-off fight.

    Why are people so incensed by a businessman trying to do the best for his brand?
