Willing to do what?

They were supposed to fight each other this Spring but Canelo and his camp were straight

:whoa:

The fukk Canelo need a year to gain 5 pounds?
This fakkit been rehydrating to damn near 170 for years.

They were talking about fighting GGG in the fall of 2015! Now they need time to build a fight and gain weight?

:camby:

I've read he rehydrates to 175 pounds.

Canelo has been fighting at 155 for his last 7 fights or something, on fight night he hydrates more then GGG... Canelo walks around at a higher wieght than GGG.

I dont believe its about being scared or anything of the sort. It IS realistically the BIGGEST upcoming fight in boxing and they need to maximize the profit each one can make before one out of two of the biggest names in boxing suffer a defeat.

Delaying the fight does a few things.

Allows the hype to build. (More money)

Allows either fighter to fight other boxers for one or a couple more pay days (More money)

Allows their careers to go unblemished for another year (because neither one will pick very risky opponents) to pursue and field other business opportunities. (More money)

Its just both teams maximizing the amount of profit before either teams biggest cash draws suffer that money draining L.

(Canelo lost to Mayweather but in the world of boxing, it was almost a given and is pretty much considered a free L, being his first)

Whatever. Good for them.
This postponement means I ain't paying shyt for this fight.

So they ain't getting it from me.

I agree on letting the fight hype up, I also think they are waiting to see GGG age but he keeps himself in good shape so they shouldn't hope on him aging over night... I think they are waiting/hoping for GGG to move up.

So instead of getting fights worth watching with elite talent we gotta sit back and watch them fight of bunch of cherry pick fights so they can "build" :russell: no wonder I have no interest in renewing HBO or Showtime subscriptions at least the PBC mismatches are on free TV. Can't wait to see what stooge De La Homo picks to fight Canelo in the next overpriced PPV ripoff i'm hoping it's fat man Marcos Maidana if they can drag him away from the buffet.
