So this is either a bull**** excuse to duck, or it's ridiculous. This truly is the diva, scaredycat era of boxing.
Perhaps he needs to beat charlo or andrade and earn a third fight. But black fighters don't sell, except for the unknowns that this guy continues to cherrypick.
If it's good for the goose....

In this case, Canelo is being forced into big fight after big fight after big fight. If anybody thinks that DAZN was just going to invest 365 million into a fighter without having something to say about it is crazy. They want to see a return (subscribers) on their investment.
Things can get even crazier because GGG has shares in the company so he is essentially Canelos boss. And Im pretty sure Skipper put clauses in the contract to cover himself and investors just in case things didnt oan out the way they wanted them too. And Oscar has no where to go. If they go to ESPN they HAVE TO do what Arum says because ESPN has given him that leverage. And Oscar is for damn sure not going to Showtime or Fox. Going to be interesting.

Originally posted by Boxing Logic View PostWhere do we disagree? So far, old GGG seems like a money chaser and nothing more, same as old Martinez, and Cotto since Cotto was like 5 years younger than GGG is now... And like Floyd almost the entirety of his career.
But that doesn't make it OK because GGG from the onset claimed to be something different. I like box, not business. And so on.
But that was prime GGG, and he delivered by at least trying to fight the best guys. I'm talking about prime GGG. Old GGG, we can agree, all he does is chase the Canelo money. Granted, because he's so old, that's basically turned into his big 50-50 legacy fight, so are we sure he's chasing it just for money and not legacy too? In any case, we can agree, he's chasing Canelo and not fighting anyone else good. We agree.
But prime GGG was another story. PRIME Canelo ducked him, for one. That's a big difference. Prime GGG wanted to fight prime Canelo, prime Canelo dropped a belt to duck prime GGG. A huge difference. And that's why prime Canelo is a hypejob ducker, but prime GGG wasn't, and that's why I wrote the post about Canelo, not about prime GGG, to answer your original question.
Sissy-G ducked Lara, B-Hop, S.O.G., derachenko, Jermall Charlo & Boo Boo. Sissy-G even ducked Nelo when Oscar made Sissy-G that 10 million dollar offer that you forget on purpose.
Nelo has one of the best resume's in the game today so you can kill that hype job dumbass talk, dumbass.

He is ducking disgrace...2 times he never beat Golovkin and he knows that...then signs a huge deal expecting to fight who ever he wants when he wants.
He is not good for boxing and his whole career he has been protected with judges and biased decisions and with shady drug tests that by now should have him chucked out of boxing.
Fight Golovkin one more time and beat him properly and not by some corrupt ass Vegas judging.
He is ****ing disgrace

(I don't really know how old you are, but do you really take Canelo above Ruiz??? ... tbh...)
I say Andrade because they’ve been talking already twice this week and asked if he would be ready Sept.
Ruiz??? IDK? I say AJ TKO’s him in the rematch. I think he didn’t take him serious or really train for him.
