    You think they are bigger globally because of their 2 fights at Rihad infront of 6000 people which drew 45k ppv? You seem to think the world was watching that card just because Turki hyped it up, which the numbers do not support.

    P4P is build on more than just 1 fight. I am just saying he is officially a p4p fighter. Mainly built on his impressive 4 fight recent run. He would be a huge scalp for Bivol, who already has Beterbievs scalp.

    I am not sure what beterbiev and Bivol fans you are talking about? Where are they exactly? Their biggest fight was infront of 600 people, and 45k ppvs, so these fans you keep talking about seem non existent, as they have been their entire careers. You are pretending they have some huge fan base which again the numbers don't support. They are career free to air, small event fighters, with no large fan base.

    That Canelo narrative you mentioned is nonsensical. Benavidez wants to fight him to become undisputed at 175. Nothing to do with Canelo who is now irrelevant, and has made it clear he will never fight him.

    Actual rival? The fighter he avoided for almost a decade and only decided to fight when he was 40 years old, for a bag for money? Yes what an amazing rivalry! All Bivol cares about is a turki bag.

    Maurico Suliman being interviewed on the boxing voice just said Bivol only made 2.7m for the Beterbiev rematch, while PBC offering 8 million to Bivol to fight Benavidez. That just destroyed so many narratives right there. The money fight for Bivol IS Benavidez!

    Is there an actual and official source saying it only sold 45k PPVs?

    Why would they do a rematch if the numbers were so poor?

    Why were the fans "demanding" it?

    Why were the broadcaster's and boxing journalists "demanding" the first and second fights if the numbers were so poor?

    Come on man......it was a widely watched fight globally and you're downplaying the numbers to try and make Benavidez sound like some megastar which he clearly isn't.......

    Beterbiev alone has a HUGE following in the Muslim world, let alone the Caucuses.....

    Similarly, Bivol has a high profile ever since schooling Canelo

    Wow! Just saw the video, thanks for the info! Yeah man, if money is what Bivol is chasing, the $8 million PBC is offering is a no brainer and Bivol should fight Benavidez.

    Thanks. It makes sense

    Bivol has zero belts going into the rematch and only 1 belt going into the first time.

    Now he has 4 belts so it makes sense he gets offered $8m against Benavidez.

    I'm guessing Beterbiev made $10m+ for the rematch then and around $8m for the first fight.

    Sulaiman's lips are moving - this is how I know he is lying. WBC is worthless trinket. If Canelo dropped it so can Bivol.

    That's because Ginger has a massive fanbase that makes him large amounts of money with or without a belt. Bivol needs that belt to earn decent to good money, unfortunately for him he doesn't have much of a fanbase...
