Media Canelo react to usman call out

what's your point? two different sports it's alot easier for a MMA guy to crossover then a Boxer to crossover and if you throw in a name like Canelo or Mayweather alot more lucrative for the MMA guy.
What's the point of self hating MMA fans saying shit like "Canelo owns all this mma bums?"

My point is what you said, it's a lot easier for MMA guys to cross over which is part of the reason MMA guys call out Boxers while Boxers never call out MMA fighters
 
Not exactly. Once you get to a place in boxing where an MMA guy is gonna call you out for a payday, it makes little sense for the boxer to start BJJ and Muay Thai classes in order to score........ a fraction of the payday for your boxing matches. But it does say something to MMA's credit that the crossover is one way IMHO.
Canelo would make huge money to fight Conor in the UFC, he would never do it because he would get embarassed. Conor got destroyed against Floyd, but at least he had a good enough showing to get a little credit from most people who watched it, Canelo in MMA would just be sad.
 
He just turned away after saying “payday.” Lol Usman begging for that boxing money.

And why would Canelo bother with MMA? Is Dana and the UFC going to fork over 150+ million to entice him? No. They went from giving 50k bonuses to 75k and back to 50. You literally fight cheap in the UFC. The top guys make peanuts compared to the boxing elites.

Canelo is busy marking his legacy in boxing. Smashing some random MMA fighter does 0 for him.
Do you think Canelo is making 150 million a fight Boxing? Conor makes comparable money in the UFC because he is a huge star along with Canelo.

It’s not for boxing, that’s the thing. You’re trying to entice him into another sport. You have to make it worth his while to even consider it.

I don't even really think Canelo should go to MMA, I'm just pointing out part of the reason MMA fighters always call out Boxers is that MMA fighters are comfortable with Boxing, while Boxers aren't comfortable with MMA.

I don't understand why so many MMA fans watch MMA all the time and like it enough to be on Sherdog, yet shit on MMA and act like Boxing is superior. It's seems like some sort of weird self hate thing, I don't get it.

My post said legacy. Nothing to do with Money. Canelo cares about unifying a division which has never been unified with 4 belts before. Not some random wrestler who knows how to pump out a Jab against LW's
 
Does anyone know how many fights Usman has left on contract ?
 
Self hating MMA fans are so weird, yes Canelo is a superstar and makes way more than Usman, Conor is a lot more comparable to him though... there are really good Boxers that aren't making Canelo money

And yes part of the reason Boxers never call out MMA fighters is because they would get absolutely destroyed in MMA, and MMA guys would definitely lose in Boxing, but they're at least somewhat comfortable with it
WRONG....its because even average pro boxer makes more than the very best ones in mma.

Money talks braddah

If the tables were turned moneywise you better believe boxers would call out mma fighters.
 
I was genuinely thinking he was gonna answer with a 'WHO?'

That is funny comment.
 
I don’t get y they don’t box with mma glove would be more fair n exciting I’d pick us an with mma glove
 
For Usman to be eligible, basically he has to lose belt one way or another...
 
No matter what boxing takes longer. Usman would be less embarrassed. If usman fought Canelo in mma he would instantly take him down and smash him or submit him.
Unless he got caught with a punch coming in. Usman has zero chance of beating Alvarez in boxing. He wouldn't last a round.

Not sure why you can't just say Usman wins easily in MMA while Alvarez does likewise in boxing. Then we're all agreement.
