Kirkland's team is trying to shake down Canelo for more money. And it isn't even a reasonable amount. Go from asking for a million (which is not crazy for a B side in this size PPV) and then up it 2.5 million. Utterly ridiciulous and makes no sense. Canelo's team should just say fine, good luck with the 200-250k you will get on HBO BAD in your next fight.
I didn't know that, that is nuts! Considering Kirklands last 'gift' result he needs to snag the opportunity and wing it. We lose. Alvarez is in a spot. Just don't see Trouts marketability or willingness to make a statement here. It may get made on Canelo grabbing trinkets alone. Hope not.
