Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Don't Know Whether Canelo-Plant Fight Is Dead; Looks Unlikely For September 18th

[Shadoww702]

I’d be very surprised if it doesn’t happen looking at the figures being branded about.

-Canelo is being offered a 40m guarantee to fight a guy the vast majority of us expect him to beat comfortably.

-Plant is being offered 10m, which is likely far more than he’ll ever earn against anyone else.

So that’s a lot of money both guys are leaving on the table if they don’t work something out and get this fight back on.

man I'm sure Heiland, and Binavidez took that way less coming in on 1 leg

Why does Eddie need to keep saying "Canelo told me I'm his promoter so I'm his promoter. If he was...then he would just say Canelo was contracted to him. Hearn is well aware that if PBC is lead promoter on that fight then he's not Canelos promoter because as he said...he will have nothing to do with it. Fight is stalled because PBC don't want Eddie to get paid...they want him off the bill entirely.

Yeah thats what i got from this too. Lol it was funny he keeps saying "im team canelo Alvarez " and that hes not part of negotiations. Like wtf is his role?

my p@ssy hurts im gonna pull a covid or injury

My guy, you may just have a point there. Canelo I believe had a 2 fight contract with Hearn, that ended with BJS if I recall correctly. He may just start business with Haymon and Hearn completely unaware.

Canelo & Haymon?
Keep on dreaming...
Man you must really hate Hearn

So Plant is out there claiming that's its Alvarez not agreeing, that he has agreed to everything, but yahoo has a story claiming they have the inside scoop, and there saying it's 2 things holding this up, the main thing is Plant wanting the same percentage revenue from PPV as Alvarez, which is ludicrous since he's never sold a PPV in his life, Canelo should get the lion's share of the PPV, the second, and this is contradicting Plant, because he has said he agreed to a 20x20 ring, but that the contract states that they want a 22x22 the same size BJS had for his fight for Canelo. Now, the problem is that all fights held at a indoor arena in Vegas has always had a standard 20x20, all big fights have had this size. I'm not going to blame either side, but I will say that the Alvarez camp are the ones who have been looking for this fight since last year, and Plant has been pushing this fight off, so believe who ever you want, but imo PBC are the ones probably holding this fight hostage.

That's very interesting and certainly paints a much different picture than what Plant stated. Do you have a link or anything for that Yahoo story?

Anything can happen but doubtful in my opinion. Canelo chaffed at the control GBP had over him with that contract. I think the reason why he keeps Eddie around (on an informal fight by fight basis) is that Hearn seems content just to be associated as Canelo's promoter because it gives him more clout and opportunity to talk (and he loves that).

Sounds like Eddie has no idea what’s going on and just throwing sh1 t out there to see what sticks because he not involved with making the fight

Plant should consider fighting his next mandatory Zach Parker. That would be a low profile but worthy one to showcase or improve Plant' talent and marketability...

[TinAgeOfBoxing]

Hopefully the Plant fight never gets made that fight is waste of time garbage. Bivol Golovkin Andrade Gilberto Ramirez are real fights.
