Who is next for Canelo?

...I refuse to call any man "his excellency"...

You and me both.

the Canelo protection/deflection program

Brilliant! I would have it all in caps, though... as it is a bonafide, very effective, carefully planned and executed program.

Soooooo...I won't fight him unless its 150-200 million . The next day Benavidez appeals directly to Turki from Saudi Arabia and his bottomless vault of billions. And the idea was shot down. I have a much different take on how this unfolded. All I saw was people saying haha Turki told Canelo to go pound sand and forget about it. But what I saw was Turki...I refuse to call any man "his excellency"...just reinforcing the wbc line and original plan. For Benavidez to face the winner of Bivol-Beterbiev at 175 should he emerge victorious in June. Thus keeping his big ol menacing dirty paws off Canelo.

Basically Turki just being a team player in the Canelo protection/deflection program . But all kidding aside, I don't think it's a good idea to pay any fighter 200 million ffs. This Saudi game has a shelf life and what we'll see are more top guys sitting out as not to jeopardize their lottery. Or just not fight at all until they receive similar silly money. Terrible precedent for the sport. Now Benavidez has even invited and opened himself up toa rehydration clause also.

Pricing yourself out of a job. One of the oldest tricks in the book. I have a surly, old relative who requires fulltime care. The woman has been through half a dozen caretakers already... and word may be spreading throughout the local caretaker community. I wouldn't be surprised if the next person asked to quote for the job said, "Sure. I'll do it. For $1,000/hour."

Would've been funny if Turki had accepted, except I wouldn't want to see Canelo get $200 million richer off one fight... even if it IS for the pleasure of seeing him KTFO'ed.

Canelo (if Turki accepted): "Wait... did I say $200 million? I meant to say $300 million."
