    If Canelo thought he could beat Benavidez he would’ve fought him already.

    Nope, he needs to lose couple of times before he can do that.

    Bud, Benavidez and Beterbiev - after that he can retire with clear conscience

    LOL you'll be lucky Canelo should have been banned for IV gate alone let alone the rest of his escapades.

    Anyone that buys his fights would never be classed as a boxing fan. Between him & Floyd they destroyed boxings credibility as a legitimate combat sport. Its now Sports Entertainment

    >Bud...

    Yay big names fighting!!! ignore the 20+ lb weight difference

    Beating bud would do nothing for his p4p rank but a lot for his wallet

    When is Canelo going to try to avenge his loss to Bivol?

    The offer was made but Bivol walked away. It's well documented.

    That’s not revenue. 45 million is what the PPV buy would get. There is still the cut Amazon is going to want for the PPV service. Deduct 35 million guaranteed for Canelo and all the other boxers purse. Also Canelo and Munguia cut of the PPv. then PBC can see revenue. Which sounds like its razor thin. Showtime was stupid enough to eat the cost. Amazon isn’t. They are providing and charging PBC for the streaming.

    They probable thought 700k+ with Two Mexican on Cinco de Mayo.

    The 365 million was a 10 to 11 fight deal Canelo signed in 2019.
    That figure included bonuses if he reached certain PPV benchmarks.
    Deal was with DAZN who could onsell his fights to other networks/streams/providers which is what they did. Canelo could also pause the deal for 1-off's with belt holders from other networks/promoters
