    I'd favor Canelo over Al Turki.

    Al Turki thinks he's the king of boxing.

    The Sampson Lewkowicz claim turned out to be false. I too thought it was genuine until I saw Reynoso's tweet denying such offer. Lewkowicz had no choice but to delete his initial Twitter post, thus proving Lewkowicz was not being honest.

    As for the PBC offer. Ginger accepted a $160 million deal from Eddie Hearn, to fight Bivol and then fight GGG for a third time. Tom Brown claims that Reynoso took the least of risk offer, as if fighting Bivol and GGG was less of a risk than fighting Charlo, and/or Spence/Benavidez.. Yeah right!

    Besides, Brown clearly states Charlo for $45 million and Spence or Benavidez for $55 million. Are you gonna claim that Ginger was afraid to face Spence as well? Where's the lone substantial offer for Ginger to fight Benavidez? Although $55 million is a lot of money to us working men, most boxing fans know that Ginger/Benavidez fight alone is worth much more than that.

    Canelo has a better resume than Crawford. That's only including wins, never mind losses.

    You actually think Canelo's manager is a credible source? Sampson literally showed a screen shot of the email

    Here is a video of the VP of showtime , confirming the Sampson offer was real. If you refuse to accept it, then there is no point in talking to you anymore about it. Pointless reasoning with deluded fan boys.

    Deluded fan boy??? lol.... I'm far from a fan of Ginger, but I do respect him and every boxer that is willing to trade punches for a living. From what Espinoza is stating it appears that an offer indeed was sent and I stand corrected. Was the offer a gauranteed $55 million?? Was the offer a guaranteed $90 million??

    If the offer was only $55 million, I wouldn't blame Ginger for not accepting it nor replying as that fight is worth much more than that. Please post the screen shot of the email if you have it or state the actual details of the offer.

    Turki's not wrong and I wouldn't blame Saul except that it seems that he likes to count himself among Great Mexican Fighters. He is not that. Rich Mexican Fighters, certainly. Probably holds the top slot. Popular Mexican Fighters? What percentage of teenage Mexican girls don't have a Canelo poster on their wall? Then add the boxing fans to the young ladies. He's a ****ing rock star. He is likely very high in terms of popularity. But he's not in the ATG Mexican fighter conversation imo and should stop pretending.

    Canelos biggest ever purse was 45M vs GGG 3. That does not include ppv. The Benavidez offer in 2023 was around 50m plus ppv, it was higher in 2024. If you reject the biggest pay day ever you ducked. Canelo did not even negotiate he ignored the offer. He does not want the fight period.

    Turki comes across really unlikeable.

    He literally spends the Saudi government's money and makes out like he's doing it out of his own pocket for the greater good of boxing.

    Now a few fighters haven't let him buy them he doesn't like it and has thrown his toys out of the pram like a petulant child.

    The guy who fought Trout, Mayweather, Lara, Bivol, Kovalev, Mundo Smith, and Golovkin and who has been getting punched in the head as a pro since he was 15 years-old is afraid of lacing up now?

    Apparently Eddie Hearn also believed that the offer was nowhere near enough.

    from minute 8:10 to 10:10 he shares his opinion on how he feels about the offer. I agree with him!

    Eddie Hearn says the $45-50M offer for Canelo Alvarez to fight David Benavidez is "nowhere near" enough money. He says Canelo was paid more to fight Golovkin last September. If Hearn was paying the purses for that fight, he would offer Alvarez much more than that, he declared.

    Turki is right about Clenelo but by the same token he can't just expect Clenelo to bow to his demands by throwing money at him. That just isn't going to work on Clenelo like it is with other fighters because obviously he's the richest fighter in the sport and he can earn a king's ransom regardless of who he fights

    He could drag a random person off the street and earn a mint for beating them up
