Nah, dude. I actuall think he's being well advised.... (I'll just copy and paste what I wrote in another thread) ...Because it's pretty clear that he's gonna' be instrumental in Canelo's break-through (for lack of a better word) moment. That's what he, Kirkland, is being built up for. To be Canelo's most formidable opponent to date, and hopefully his most important win that will propel him [Canelo] closer to superstardom. And right now, GBP are asking Kirkland to be their sacrificial lamb by quickly prompting him to the stage while his injury won't have healed in time. So, quite rightly, Kirkland's saying, "Fine, I'll fight at short notice with an injury, but will you pay me accordingly? Yeah, thought not". Because what's the point of fighting for $1 million at 70% and have a slim chance of winning, when you can eventually fight for that same $1 million at 100% when your chances are maximized. We need to remember that Kirkland's writing up his own script. Quite opposite to the one that's being paved for Canelo. He's planning on being the neglected monster that ends up derailing the golden child on the biggest night of his life. And to do that, he needs to be in the best physical condition.
Does anybody list their house or car for the price they are willing to take? No, you start off high and come down. Now add in the points Uncle Rico has made to some common sense negotiating, and it makes sense.
Canelo has so many choices now. If Canelo v.s. Kirkland can't be made, then Cotto and Lara can be other options.
it's retared though..there's so many other options for canelo out there....kirkland wont win vs goldenboy....no way in hell plus, it'll build a bad name for himself...period he should've just said no, and that's it....not lied about an injury
Who are the other options for Canelo though? I don't think they'll put him in with Cotto, and Lara isn't a big enough name to headline a PPV.
If one knows they will be brutally and embarrassingly KOed and subsequently exposed in front of a global audience of millions it's best to at least make a proper cash out.
it doesn't have to be a ppv though...trout, lara, and k9 are names mentioned already.....all beatable guys that will boost canelo up a bit more in other words, if canelo only had like a few weeks before the fight, then there is room for bluffing and negotiating from team kirkland.....but with 3 months left, he aint gonna win the battle vs goldenboy....toooooo many options for canelo right now
I read something about this being an 'advisor' not his manager. That fool Leon Wazhis name at it again? The one that lost Green the shot at Pavlik by being an axehole with Arum?
seems pretty straight forward to me. kirkland wants to fight when he's 100%, and the fans should want that as well.
