judah situation.

Canelo's camp is not bright for asking for something like that.

The great thing I love about may is that he fights fighters who are coming off of wins and not losses. He catches them at their peak. Manny does not do that.

Canelo could very well get his ass kicked against trout. So if may were to guarantee a fight against Canelo, and canelo loses before the fight, then mayweather would be forced to face a losing fighter. That would cap the interest on the fight and it wouldn't have the same appeal.

Plus, if canelo loses and still wants to face may, may could ask for even more money because canelo would have no leverage. He would be coming in as the losing fighter.


You remember may had signed to fight zab before zab's fight against bladomir. Well, zab lost that fight, but may had to fight him anyway. And since zab fought bladomir at a catchweight, the fight wasn't sanctioned as a title fight, and zab was able to keep his belt. However, zab was known as a paper champion after the fight, so when mayweather took the belt, people said that may didn't really beat the champion...That's when may had no other choice but to fight bladomir.
