you'd have to ask team dmitry. neither of us know what was in the original contract. there was talk of a rematch clause. canelo has insisted he wants the rematch at one seventy five, canelo said same terms. dmitry declined so canelo has moved on
You cannot conclude Bivol ducked Canelo from that. Offering the rematch on the same conditions when Bivol took less and subsequently losing to Bivol surely is not being serious about the rematch.
Bivol also said he would go down in weight to accommodate Canelo.
That is not ducking.
dmitry is said have had a two million guarantee & made about five million with his share of the ppv for the first fight. if canelo was offering the same terms it would still be at the very least dmitry's second highest purse in his career. dmitry could record another win over a current pound for pound fighter, a current undisputed champion & a future hall of famer. dmitry was offered the fight & turned it down. you yourself said it would be ridiculous for dmitry to fight canelo at super middle. canelo would get no credit if he defeated dmitry at one sixty eight, as all the talk of weight draining would be used as an excuse
As you said no one knows what was in the original contract yet you have concluded that Bivol has ducked Canelo.
Saul hurt his hand after his loss so could not fight for a year, then he could and wanted a warm up and now miraculously Bivol has turned down a high pay day. That all does sound like excuses that Canelo does not wanting the rematch.
dmitry & canelo have fought once with agreed upon terms. canelo fought dmitry & then ggg as part of his deal. canelo needed surgery after the ggg fight & decided to take the homecoming mandatory against john ryder, with the rematch against dmitry targeted for september. canelo has stated same terms as the first fight. can you show me what team dmitry had offered canelo in terms for a fight at one sixty eight?
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
