Comments Thread For: Tom Brown: We Offered Canelo $45M For Charlo; $55M For Spence At 164 Or Benavidez At 168

[The Big Dunn]

I agree about the Khan fight, like Kell Brook moving up to fight GGG neither fight was in doubt and didn't need to happen. It's really no different when Mayweather or Pac were the face of the sport guys had to earn it. My problem is what has Charlo, Andrade or Benavidez done recently? Charlo was great at 154 but that was a quite a while ago. Andrade may as well be a ghost at this point with his opposition.

I get the criticism of charlo and Benavidez because they could fight each other. But they are doing the same thing ggg did- easy wins until canelo calls.

Andrade is getting screwed by everyone. Not only will no top mw or smw dare fight him, his own promoter wouldn’t force GGG to fight him to give him a chance to earn the Canelo fight.

It is completely unfair to hold this against him.

So basically the same payday for 2 fights with dazn, but VS better opps. Saul/Charlo and Saul/Benavidez or Spence moving up vs Saul.....those sh.it all over Saul/Bivol, Saul/GGGrandpa and Saul/TBA. Anyone who claims otherwise is full of sh.it AND a ginger fanboy.

Ah, thanks for letting us know that boring fighters fill stadiums during pandemics, and generate scores of millions of dollars for themselves their opponents, vendors, broadcasters, media outlets, and ancillary businesses. including YouTubers who make a few quid posting videos. Gosh how much money do EXCITING fighters generate and who are they?

floyd filled stadiums, are you going to deny he was a boring fighter? muppet.

what 50,000, 60,000 and 75,000 seater stadiums did Floyd fill?

Demetrius Andrade has been trash talked with more unfair criticism than anyone. And I'm sick of it. The reason his resume isn't as good as some is because the duckers reused to fight him. It has nothing to do with his own actions.

What Canelo did to him at the BJS press conference was one of the most de****able things I've seen in boxing.

The Benavidez fight is great but the other two jumping up in weight isn't all that defining for his legacy is it?

First of all, I am a little too old to be called a muppet -- a muppet no, a geezer yes. With the exception of his last few years when he became something of a circus act, Mayweather was very exciting. He put on a boxing clinic every time and knocked a lot of good folks out. Like Ali, he was a master promoter who got casuals excited and eager to see him lose. Boxing aficionados loved to watch him put on boxing clinics. Casuals who wanted to see street fights in the ring were disappointed of course. Incidentally, Floyd never filled stadiums -- not even once. He did on occasion fill arenas but not 75,000-seat stadiums.

He willingly signed with Hearn. Maybe should have thought twice before doing so. I really don't have much sympathy for him.

Canelo stopped Angulo.

Also what is the point of showing Bivol vs Barrera?

Wrong. Hunter threw in a towel b/c he said Angulo was taking too many headshots. I believe it was the 10th Lara actually stopped Angulo in the 10th.
