    He could have fought 3 times a year at his young age.

    Because Mexico is a hard working country, they only have 2 public holidays in a year.
    In Indonesia we have around 30 public holidays, so our fighters have over 100 fights career wise.

    Cost's a lot of Money to pay Judges....Fighting 2 Times a Year makes it more Manageable...

    He's 27 with 52 professional fights, that's a lot.

    They're taking a page out of Floyd's book.

    Lack of activity from a star fighter means more control over not just their own, but also over their opponent's careers.
    Less fights means a lot more money per fight, as it becomes an "event". Certainly because he only fights on Mexican holidays.
    Less strain on the body if you only have to kill yourself twice a year to make weight instead of 4 times for an instance, also less wear and tear because you just fight less.

    Nearly all top level boxers fight only twice a year these days.

    Why he would fight more?i understand majority of us are already manipulated,programmed cyborgs who can't decide anymore what is best for them. Live in this goverment created illusion. Where majority learns
    that hard work pays the bills.

    However Canelo is in that small minority who makes enough money to
    choose when he goes to work,if he wants to work at all


    Also boxing training is not easy,nevermind getting punched on the face..this thread and question is absolutely made by 20th century cyborg who has not even slightest clue what is happening around the world and how it works


    if i make +5mil everytime i fight,you can bet on it that i fight maximum 2times a year..

    You know enjoy your life and something like that maybe?i don't want to train 24/7 and become mindless cyborg who has only one deep addiction and nothing else in his life..

    what about family?kids?travelling?having fun??

    and as you mentioned Canelo is young,so even better reason to enjoy his life.especially because his energy levels are still high.

    finally cyborgs,look what is happening on the world in last years?? (Wise would say in many hundreds years)

    If Canelo has still his own brains he understands.now it's last times to enjoy your life. Everything in life going to chance soon.

    And thank you for all millions and millions programmed cyborgs who has allowed this all happen. Thank you for destroying our world piece by piece and staying sleep for many hundred years.

    i want people to work,i don't want people to think.

    that what owner of our world said over 100yrs ago..Rotchild

    he was quite correct with that one..



    But if i play mind games,of course i want Canell to fight more often.Canelo should train boxing 24/7. After the fight i would allow Canelo 3days of holiday.then back to being mindless cyborg who has one goal in life and sacrifice his life for entertaining other mindless cyborgs.

    the end peace and love,hurry up and go enjoy yourself,or smoke big joint like i just did it. now is not time to work anymore,of course if you are cyborg you are free to serve your master until the world destroys or your master decides it's your turn to die or become unemployed

    Because he makes enough money doing that. It's been like that for awhile for fighters at a certain level.

    Before Joe Louis, heavyweight champions fought less often than that, as they were the highest paid boxers.

    Same reason that AJ and a bunch of others fight twice a year? Silly thread.
