Sounds like a crock of sh*t

Oscar De La Hoya confirmed Canelo’s claims and Tom Loeffler corroborated the fact that there have been contract negotiations with GBP. The K2 chief was reluctant to go into specifics, but he did confirm that the 160lbs weight wasn’t an issue, but it seems that there is a sticking point that awaits a decision by Canelo and his promoter.

Nobody knows the specific terms of the contract, so there’s no point in jumping to all sorts of derogatory conclusions without possessing all the facts.

The interesting thing is… have K2 ever tried to make the fight, I mean, have they ever initiated contract negotiations with some of their big name rivals?

People are assuming it’s up to Canelo, but why? K2 never tried to make an effort to negotiate a fight with Ward, but it’s Andre that receives the widespread criticism. K2 never tried to initiate contract negotiations for a fight with Canelo, but somehow the Mexican receives the criticism. Yet K2 feel compelled to make an offer to Billy Joe Saunders...

No PPV share.......about what I figured. No way will team GGG accept, and would not blame them. It's one thing making your biggest payday, but no PPV share? Pac turned down $40 million because of that. Much more money to be made in PPV with these kind of fights.

I didn't see you taking Pacquiao's side back then.

Talking bullshit to Max Kellerman in the ring after knocking over a hopelessly overmatched opponent fools nobody

Except for the fact you do not know how to score a fight anyway. It is best that you did not. Thank you.

Right on the money here. I agree./ I think Max went after ODH after the fight without directly doing so. I really liked that. Canelo is hiding behind his promotion team while ducking GGG. Canelo has no interest in making the fight with GGG but to keep bringing in fans and not losing any PPV buys he has to pretend like he is not ducking him. It is just a business decision. But if he just stays at 154 and wants to just fight at that weight I have no problem with that at all. I would like to see Brook vs. Canelo at 154. That fight makes a lot of sense to me. Not much else at 154 except the Charlo cowards who do not like to fight anyone. Just a couple of cowards. Andrade is also at 154 and undefeated and yet he refuses to strep up into elite competition as well. The common thread is that they are all Americans and this is typical of American boxers these days except for a few.
