"Now, there's a dispute with 50 Cent over what [Kirkland] thought he heard and what I know I heard. He said 'People in the street, we don't do that. 50 told me the number is going to be x and by God, the number is going to be x.' Everyone tried to explain to him that 'x' was the number that [Jackson] was getting from HBO. ... But [Jackson] has got to make something. We all agreed that a promoter has to make something. I told him that [Jackson] was trying to be totally up front with him, but he was like, 'No. No. You weren't on the phone.' "

He wont have to chase him, Manny is gonna come forward. You think that shyt he did against Rios is gonna work on Canelo? Canelo is way faster both hands and feet than Rios, Manny cant just throw 3-4 punches and circle right for 12 rounds against Canelo. Only way Manny beats Canelo is via rehydration contract! Canelo's not a walking punching bag like a Rios, Cheeto, or even a Clottey.

Canelo also has a stamina issue...yes it's still an issue lol

I've yet to see Canelo decisively beat another top contender. He just neutralizes nikkas and makes close fights (Trout, Lara)

So with that said, I don't think he wants it with a monster like Golovkin.

shyt, and I don't even wanna bring up nikkas like J Rock or Andrade who I think would be all sorts of problems for Canelo too.

Shoot I think molina would spoil dude

Triple g would be too much for canelo, I would want canelo to win

I think so too. He'd be all over that Ginger.

Sorry friend but Canelo isn't a 12 year old girl Molina aint spoiling nothing.

That's why I always thought Kirkland, if he could survive the first few rounds would be hell for Canelo. Cinnamon sure does not like those body shots, and he's running on fumes around the 10th, unless he's fighting for half a round

Brehs Imma share a few musings and thots

1) Was about to skip Salido v Kokietgym, Thank Allah I didn't

2) I aint purchase Floyds last PPV, Iont care what the sales are and besides Manny/Bradley, May/Maidana & Cotto/ no fights this year deserve to be PPV

3) I hope no one is jumping for joy over this Canelo to HBO move. HBO now cost $5 more than Showtime and they've raised their price $3 from last year

He'll be fighting Clottey this Dec. The same Clottey who fought Pac like he was paid to take a dive on PPV and then was exiled

HBO has raised the price of their product while providing less of it and and lowering the quality

SHO has put on entertaining but heavily mismatched fights and they're closing out their year with only 1 mediocre card each month

Last year weoff the competition between the 2 networks. There were great fights taking place every week and we discussed those fights in depth

Now we spend our time arguing ratings, PPV numbers and which network is winning financially

I am happy for the Canelo move to HBO because it makes these fights get one huge step closer to reality: Canelo/COtto, Canelo/GGG, Canelo/Chavez Jr and even Canelo/Manny.

I get the deal for a year or two and when that shyt is up I threaten to cancel to see what new deal I can get and if they don;t come clean I just cancel and go back to Comcast under a new low priced deal with. And then I continue the cycle.

Canelo: If I Have To Fight Golovkin - No Problem!

By Luis Sandoval

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (44-1-1, 31KOs) is ready to face anyone. On Monday, the Mexican star officially switched his network affiliation from Showtime to HBO. And now he's ready to face all of the stars under HBO's banner, including IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (30-0, 27KOs).

Canelo will return to HBO in December and then there is heavy talk of a fight with WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto in May.

"It's a possibility. There are two guys there [Golovkin and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.] that would be good fights. I'm willing to fight anybody," Canelo said.

Canelo sparred Golovkin in the past and has a lot of respect for him.

"It was very good sparring. He's a very strong fighter, very strong. We helped each other out and what can I say about him....he's a very good fighter and he's a nice person as well. He's a very nice person but this is a sport, this is a business - and if I have to fight him - no problem," Canelo said.
