Salvador Rodriguez is as plugged into Canelo's camp as any boxing reporter and he said that was false, and he ain't a gossip reporter

canelo vs spence should not be a thing period...they're separated by 3 divisions..all the other fights you mentioned all those cats have fought in the divisions canelo fought in or at least are within 1 division...all of them are style and/or physical threats to canelo in their own way..one in particular has actually done big business on two occasions which casuals are familiar with which could sell a fight off that aspect
gotta cleanse that juice out

As much as you don't think it should be a thing, just the fact they are already talking about it means eventually they are gonna try to make it. At this level of the fight game Money >>>> everything else, and you know that and Canelo-Spence would be the biggest most lucrative boxing match since Floyd-Pac.

no tf it's not..he never said that was the holdup..Plant says he agreed to everything..
This is why I stray away from talking Boxing or Boxing business anymore. Especially the business... the article lays out the issue clearly. Does it make sense for PBC to agree to something where Plant gets COVID (which is a a good enough probability to be concerned), has to drop out and Canelo gets $40 Million to fight an Anthony Dirrell on PBC's dime? Does that make good business sense to you? Just answer that question.

The whiteboy said he agreed to everything.. So which is it?? I dont know that nikka... he might jump out the window with rumor and gossip like most of yall do.. Until I hear it from either camp then it's probably bullshyt as far as I'm concerned

Euro bums on DAZN? This ain’t welterweight, man, the US scene isn’t any stronger than the Euro one in 168-175. If Canelo fights Bivol or Beterbiev that’s a bigger challenge than Plant and any of these dudes at 168.

Same posters always having heart attacks everytime canelo negotiations "fall through"....then the fight ends up happening anyway and the same posters fall for the same shyt the next time it happens
.....The fight will just end up happening at the end of the year. Or canelo will fight beterbeiv or bivol on dazn then fight plant in May. I don't really care which happens first cause realistically beterbiev or bivol will give canelo a much tougher fight. Plant is just a stepping stone and we all know it
And as far the deal. I could see why pbc would turn it down. But at the same time canelo never had to entertain PBC at all. He could have just demanded plant fight him on dazn from the start and left it at that. He doesn't have to chase anybody anymore. canelo willing to do an exclusive fight with PBC was already a huge concession. Pbc obviously felt the deal wasn't worth it and moved on. The thing is Dazn treats canelo like royalty. He gets the first class LeBron treatment over there. He might as well be a part owner at this point. So he comes to pbc where they got all their fighters in check and expects the same treatment of course it's gonna be tough to make a deal.
If I'm canelo I go after benavidez on dazn. David already said he's willing to leave pbc for the canelo fight. And he'll take any amount of money for it. Canelo vs benavidez is a much bigger fight than plant. It'll do 80k in cowboy stadium. And canelo can use that as more leverage against pbc.
Either way as long as canelo fights beterbiev, bivol, or David I'm happy. All of these will be tougher fights than Caleb plant. But I still believe they're gonna try to make this plant fight first. Canelo hasn't fought in September since 2018 so obviously these dates aren't set in stone. I could care less if it gets pushed back a month or two. Just means plant will get slumped in better weather......and all of these tears will have been in vain just like they always been. We all know how this is going to end. Don't even know why y'all keep doin it to yourselves. But I'll be sure to up this post after the deed is done

Factsthats why canelo vs plant on DAZN is for the best...this fight aint worth no 80 bucks on PPV esp if its a FOX broadcast team behind it..if they were to hold it on regular FOX id actually go for it to be honest
taylor vs ramirez was on ESPN
charlo vs castano was on showtime
far better undisputed fights than a canelo vs plant and no one dared to utter PPV for those..shyt

Canelo had to chill in a recliner until damn near 1am EST while waiting for two UFC journeymen fighters to wrap it up before he could make his ring walk for Kovalev. Let's not even get started on DAZN not wanting to pay him the $30M to fight Euros, I don't know how that screams "royalty".
