All Canelo is asking is for a contract to be signed that if he beats trout he gets Mayweather Sept 14th. I don't think thats asking for to much. Unless Mayweather rather fight the winner of the berto vs Ortiz rematch, Marquez 2, cotto 2?? Damn as great as boxing has been looks like another dream fight down the drain. First it was mayweather vs Pacquiao now its Mayweather vs Canelo. What's the common denominator in this equation??

Also why are people so against making Mayweather vs canelo happen?? Isn't this a fight al boxing fans would love to see. Biggest money of his career for Mayweather obviously not counting de la hoya fight but let's face it no one is fucking with Oscar when it comes to ppvs. Conseus around the boxing world says it would be easy work for Floyd vs a young and still raw fighter like Canelo. I don't see how this fight does anything but help Floyd's legacy, bank account, and most importantly the sport of boxing. Maybe the money team sees it as to big of a risk?? Who knows.

Canelo is smart, why the fuck would he get on a card with mayweather again if he's not fighting him. I ain't paying to see Mayweather vs ghost. I'll pay to see Canelo vs trout though.
He doesnt mind getting on the same card as Mayweather. He wants a guarantee after this card that he'll get to fight Floyd. He's not talking about fighting him on the May 4th card. Got Em!!

Lol @ Canelo being on undercards, hahaha the fastest rising star and probably second most popular fighter should only be doing main events. Anything else isn't worth his time. #CaneloTakeOver2013
Dude its a PPV undercard nit a regular HBO channel undercard. If Canelo was so big why wouldnt he have his own PPV fight? Hmmm I wonder why he has never headlined a PPV? Get real son. Only Mexicans know this dude and tru boxing fans. He is not the 2nd most popular fighter. I mean Chavez Jr. atleast headlined a PPV that did pretty good. Why hasnt Canelo? Maybe they arent confident enough that it will sell. Keep it real man. Canelo hasnt earned shit. Now if he fights and beats Trout then I do think he has earned the Floyd fight but u cant force the PPV and p4p champ in a corner and ask for a guarantee. Who does Canelo think he is? Got Em!!

Real talk, time for a real test
Real test? He just had a real test in the weight class that he is in and just moved up to. He beat the best guy in the division. How much realer of a test can he get. Now once he gets to 140 then Im sure he will fight the best guys there as well. Let the man do what he does and work his way to 140 like the rest of them. Got Em!!

Also lets not forget about this. Canelo seems like a big jinx for fighters losing after they agreed to fight him with a match already in place. What would a guarantee and signed contract to fight Floyd mean if he and Floyd or one of them lose on May 4th. Floyd may be flamboyant but he doesnt stick his foot in his mouth by making matches while other matches are waiting. Thats Canelo's prob, he keeps booking opponents before they have won their next match and keep losing. When will he get it. I would laugh if he gets a guarantee from Floyd and then loses to Trout. Who would wanna see that fight then? Cmon man. Got Em!!

Where did I say he wants to fight him on May 4th?? Go back and re read what i said. I said all canelo wants is a guarantee for sept 14th if he beats Trout may 4th. Why would I bring up him fighting trout and still being able to fight mayweather may 4th. LOL @ canelo fighting twice in 5 months.

LOL you're lost homie, "Only mexicans know this dude" LOL only mexicans?? You mean the people who account for 2/3 of the ppv buys, the group of people that accounts for the 2/3 of the people who fill up the arenas and the streets of vegas during Cinco de Mayo weekend and Mexican Independece day weekend?? lmao. Also Canelo would've headlined a ppv if overrated Ortiz hadn't got clapped up by Josesito Lopez. Canelo did great numbers his last fight when 90% of that arena was their to see him. Not to mention he had to split the crowd with the other half of the mexican fan base that was across the street at the chavez fight. No one else on the card was worth a damn when it comes to ppv numbers. Which is why Canelo knows if they aren't going to guarantee him a fight in sept against floyd he will pull out of May and make his own event in March. Did you even bother to read the article?? Canelo can hold his own already, I'm not saying he's going to break records but he will still get paid well. Another thing why do you always compare Chavez JR to Canelo. That shit is unfair Chavez JR is the son of the most popular mexican boxer in history. That would be like De La Hoya having a kid who hit the ring, his son will instantly get attention whether it's deserved or not. Also Chavez did the exact same thing Canelo is doing, he got himself a fight with the #1 fighter in his division without really deserving it, Correct me if Im wrong because I'm not 100% sure but didn't he make more money that fight then martinez?? Even though Martinez is clearly the more accomplished fighter??? Shows you how much popularity means when it comes to making demands.

Real test? He just had a real test in the weight class that he is in and just moved up to. He beat the best guy in the division. How much realer of a test can he get. Now once he gets to 140 then Im sure he will fight the best guys there as well. Let the man do what he does and work his way to 140 like the rest of them. Got Em!!
Broner is clearly better then everyone below 135 which is why I expect more out of him, I want him to put himself to the test and face real 140 pounders. I'm not saying he's going to lose i think he's the real deal. If he wants to hang around 135 though and continue to mop up everyone and clear the weight class then go for it, I'm coo if he wants to pull a brandon rios.

Also lets not forget about this. Canelo seems like a big jinx for fighters losing after they agreed to fight him with a match already in place. What would a guarantee and signed contract to fight Floyd mean if he and Floyd or one of them lose on May 4th.

Who would wanna see that fight then? Cmon man. Got Em!!
LOL @ jinx, yea i'm sure that's the reason why they won't guarantee him a contract. Also I can do the same, I'm going to laugh if Mayweather gets upset by guerrero and he missed out on all that Pacquaio and Canelo money for some fighter that will do nothing for his legacy. Also I don't think Canelo is dumb enough to think he's going to walk all over trout. My point is what's in it for Canelo if he agrees to get on the may 4th card. Money Team/Golden Boy are going to break major bread with or without Canelo but they're not asking canelo to be on the card because they want to be nice. It's becuase they know they can hit the jackpot with a mayweather/canelo card where they don't have to risk either fighter taking a L. Also you act as if the contract can't state that the only way the guarantee holds is if Canelo beats trout. If canelo loses to trout then of course this fight is useless and everyone can move on and void the contract.

Hmm, yeah I'm going to have to strongly disagree here. While I'm sure Canelo vs Floyd will do big numbers (and it's going to happen, I don't know why you think it wont happen), Canelo has done jack shit to fight Floyd. Who has he beat? Who is his best win? Ryan Rhodes? Matthew Hatton? 140 pound Lopez? 87 year old Shane Mosley who hadn't won a fight in four years? He's literally not fought a single top 5 fighter in his division, despite holding onto a belt for several years now. It's nearly shameful. All people want is for him to fight someone GOOD, like Trout, to prove he's worthy of fighting the pound 4 pound king of the sport. That's all. Not asking a lot.

Now I understand he did try to fight Paul Williams (after Williams was destroyed by Lara). He did try to fight Victor Ortiz (who never fought at 154 pounds before in his life). But the fact remains he didn't fight any of those guys and to most people, he's an untested fighter. He's looked good against lower opposition, but what will he look like when he steps up?

Also, as a Canelo fan myself, I think it would do him some good to fight someone like Trout for the experience. You don't want to fight Floyd without ever fighting an A class fighter, do you? That's setting yourself up bigtime for failure.

what's your point?? I've already stated assuming canelo fights/beats trout early this year I think that along with his popularity and his want to fight mayweather is enough to earn him a fight sept 14th vs mayweahter. Yet people on this thread are arguing against that, I said i see nothing wrong with Canelos demands. Ortiz who hadn't really beat anyone and got his ass kicked a few times then beats Berto who isn't nor has ever been a top 10 fighter got a chance vs Floyd. The risk vs reward in that fight was a lot worse then the canelo fight.

At the end of the day my main point is:

Only way Canelo says yes to fight on may 4th as under card = Guaranteed Floyd Fight

otherwise

Canelo fights as main event in march = No guarantee, and has to hope if he wins in March mayweather will say yes to Sept 16th.

Berto was a title holder and was I believe #2 or #3 at welterweight when Ortiz fought him.

Trout would be a great win for Canelo but he shouldn't need a guarantee fight with Floyd to fight him. Fighters are supposed to fight the best in their division, unify the belts etc. Canelo is acting like a diva, he's acting like he's accomplished what Floyd and Pacquiao have, demanding shit, when in fact he's accomplished hardly anything. He shouldn't demand anything, he should want to prove himself.

lol why should he fight on a under card?? I can still see him fighting trout, only difference is he will fight him in March and the majority of ppv/gate sales will go two those two fighters. Instead of Trout and Canelo being the fight of the night and the majority of people coming to see those two, and at the end of the day they get raped when it comes to their purse for the fight because money team/golden boy/guerrero will all get their piece first. Boxing is a business, Pacquaio and Mayweather fans should know that more then anybody.

Read this post u made and u can see what I was talking about. Got Em!!

Canelo is smart, why the fuck would he get on a card with mayweather again if he's not fighting him. I ain't paying to see Mayweather vs ghost.
Also I understand the mexican community is big in boxing, but not big enough for him to headline a PPV like Floyd. Otherwise he wouldve done so already. Chavez Jr/Martinez combo is why this was a PPV. Chavez Jr. finally fought the best guy in his division unlike Canelo and thus people wanted to see it. Also what do u mean did Chavez Jr earn the fight with Martinez? Dude Chavez Jr been running from this fight for years and he finally had to fight him. This is like Canelo not fighting Trout. If he doesnt fight him for another year or 2 he will probably be forced to fight him lol. U got that all twisted up haha. As for Broner again let dude get to 140 first. He just got to 135. Talented or not doesnt mean u just go up and weight and fight bigger dudes just to do it. He has to naturally go up. It would be different if he stayed at 135 for like 2 years or sumthin then I can hear u but let dude fight a time or 2 in his weight class then Im sure he will move up. Thats all I am sayin. Dude is very young. Back to Floyd, what will Canelo do for Floyd's legacy that The Ghost wont? The Ghost atleast beat some good fighters, who has Canelo beat? U trippin there. Also if Canelo & Trout fight in March I guarantee u it wont be PPV haha. U got me cracking up there homie. Who is gonna pay to see that? No one knows but Trout but us tru fans. He isnt a draw and Canelo wont be big enough to do it by himself. He better get on Floyd's card see a gang of folks can see him other than Mexicans lol. Got Em!!

Well sure, if he wants to fight Trout on his on card that's cool. He would get paid more than Guerrero though on the undercard. Floyd always demands like 95/5 of the purse!

Why do you always bring up other fighters when talking about Canelo. I never compared Canelo to Chavez or Mayweather, you took this discussion to another place. You make it sound like I'm saying Canelo>>Mayweather. Canelo isn't better then mayweather at this point when it comes to boxing or ppv/attendance numbers, but I do think out of all the fighters not named sergio martinez he presents the best challenge/fight for Mayweather, More money then he can make with guerrero, and add just as much if not more to his legacy for beating the young and hungry undefeated Canelo who is just getting started and when it's all said and done will go down as one of the better boxers of his generation.

Therefore whats wrong with Canelo saying he will fight on the mayweather undercard if he gets a sept 14th match up, if not it's cool Mayweather doesn't have to guarantee him nothing and canelo will fight in march and both will go about their business.

I think Canelo will beat guerrero/ortiz/cotto/marquez yet all these cats have got a shot at mayweather. So I ask, why would he not want this fight? He will probably cash out more money then any of those fights and according to a lot of people here Canelo is scared of Lara/Vanes/Trout so if he can't see them, Mayweather should have no problem giving Canelo a boxing lesson and going home with his biggest pay day since the Oscar de La Hoya fight.

Golden Boy Promotions president Oscar De La Hoya says that his record 2.4 million pay per view buys that he got for his fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2007 could be broken on either May 4th or September 14th this year. On both dates, Mayweather and WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will be in action, although not necessarily against each other. Golden Boy wants to match the two fighters together on one of those dates, and De La Hoya thinks that enough boxing fans will be interested in seeing a fight of that nature that it will break his PPV record.
Mayweather does the majority of the numbers but don't fool yourself Canelo can hold his own. De La Hoya is a smart business man and he knows what he's talking about.

Dude u just said Canelo can beat 4 welterweights haha. Thats just it. Dude fights at 154 but only wants to fight cats who are from 140-147 lol. Why is he scared to fight a tru 154 pounder?? I dont get it. Just go down in weight and dehydrate lol. All those fighters that got a shot at Mayweather deserved it and beat other good fighters in their division. Like most of us have been saying, once Canelo beats a good fighter in his own weight class then maybe he will get Mayweather. Other than that I dont know what to tell u. Got Em!!

Really now weight is the issue too?? Floyd's last fight was at 154, other then Cotto and Trout who would you like for Canelo to fight?

He already agreed to fight Cotto but he took an L and he's also agreed to fight Trout just not necessarily on May 4th.

Like I said Canelo vs Mayweather Sept 14th would be the shit, biggest fight I can think of in recent memory. Only thing that needs to be answered now is will it live up to the hype? So I hope politics/business aside this fight goes down, imo it's the most interesting fight in boxing that has a legit chance of being made.

Dude Im just calling it how I see it. Dude keeps fighting welterweights. Mayweather has only fought at 154 twice in his entire career. Cotto just started boxing there as well. They are both tru welterweights. I dont mind Canelo wanting to fight them because they have big names but atleast beat a tru good 154 pounder first. If he fights and beats Trout he will have all of my respect and can call out whoever he wants. Thats all I ask. Got Em!!

Hell yeah

WBC: Danny Garcia-Lucas
Matthysse To Be Ordered

Click Here To Email

By Miguel Rivera

The World Boxing

that a mandatory fight between junior welterweights Danny
Garcia (25-0, 16KOs) and Lucas Matthysse (32-2, 30KOs) will
be ordered in the coming weeks - provided both boxers win
their upcoming fights.

Matthysse is scheduled to defend his WBC interim-junior
