Why haven't Canelo and Eubank Jr. come to an agreement yet?
The two fighters are currently in negotiations to make a bout happen, but nothing has materialized yet – at least for now. The reason is that the person Eubank Jr. is negotiating with is a superstar and he wants to secure a big prize..
Ben Shalom, a promoter who works with Eubank Jr. He said there was a 50/50 chance the match would take place.But the British boxer is used to earning a decent amount of money and is therefore willing to negotiate. It takes a lot of money to fight the undisputed super middleweight champion.

He's made a lot of money throughout his career and has been offered other big fights but this is definitely the fight he wants. Negotiations are ongoing but it all depends on whether it makes sense for him financially,” Shalom explained.
“Eubank Jr. is also gunning for a world title and it's good to have a guy at that stage in his career, making a name for himself and getting ready for some big fights. He's a realist and knows he has big fights to get in the next 18 months to two years,” Shalom concluded.
