Canelo finally lists his price for fighting Benavidez: $150 or 200 million

Where is this reports coming from exactly? Fury took like 40 millions for Ngannou. The only one making absurd claims over Fury purse are Simon Jordan who is brainless Fury fanboy and was already proven that he is talking complete bollocks when it comes to purses.
He was reporting back in the day about Wilder - AJ and Fury - Usyk purse split, which turns out to be complete false.

I'm pretty sure Fury won't take more than 50-70m. for Usyk fight.

 

So, Canelo being very clear on Benavidez not being good enough risk/reward.

 

That's what I hate about it most, the organizations do what they do and get away with it even though it's right in everybody's face that it's corrupt as all get out. I am usually extremely forgiving and try to be non-judgmental, but those score cards from Canelo's past are just too corrupt to ignore.

He has made loads of money, good for him. But as a boxing fan, I couldn't f****** care less. Why should I care about how much money he's making? I just want to see the guy fight.

 

The fight could've been made 2-3 years ago, so exactly when did Canelo enter these latter stages? The truth is that Canelo has conducted his entire career like this. The only difference is that he has gotten more arrogant and dismissive now.

 

It's a real shame because Canelo's record is chock-full of good names, I am not doubting his level of competition. But so many cards were absolutely unacceptable in my opinion, and apparently in the opinion of many because there's been endless posts about how crooked the situation is.

 

He as form for this cant age him out wage him out

 

Canelo showing his ass here. 150 million price tag just says how much he actually wants that fight. Like he needs the money, lol. Just retire after this at this point if you’re just wasting everyone’s time. He really doesn’t have much to prove.

 

Canelo has a small *****.

 

It's out there I can't do the research for you but it's there. You can pick and choose which sources to believe all day. But basically ranging from saying 100 million to Arum saying Fury would be pissed if he "only" made 100m to fight Usyk lol, to saying he will make closer to 200m that 100m, to saying a 2 fight deal with Saudis (Ngannou-Usyk) will net him around 200mil. However you want to slice it rumors have him clearing 100mil easy.

So again I pose a common sense question:
If there can be talks of Fury making this much why would it be absurb for Canelo to have talks of making that much? Where is that incredulous energy for Fury?

 

Why didn't Canelo just make a similar two-fight deal for Munguia and Benavidez if it was that easy to make someone pay you 200 million dollars?

 

Money May set the Green Print.
Crazy thing is that both canelo & PBF fought everybody
Tank hasn’t truly tested himself since Pedraza
But you’re right he will likely play the same card.

 

IF he gets his way, boxing at the championship level is dead in America. The middle east is where big fights go to get made and then die. A fight like Fury/Usyk belongs at Wembley. Canelo/DB belongs in Vegas.

...It's funny how just a couple of years ago, no athlete would go near the Saudi money for fear of damage to their brand. My, how times have changed.

 

Because we're not idiots, at least I'm not. We know where that kind of money comes from. Connect the dots.

 

If we dont want our fights going over there, people gotta start buying the fights. Period. Also these promoters need to stop putting fights on ppv that don't belong 200k-300k fights should be on network tv make it a big event still. They put guys on ppv that nobody past this site even knows exist. Invest in building stars and familiarity so they can command big ppv buyrates when these big name fights finally happen.
