Comments Thread For: Benavidez: If Canelo Doesn't Want To Fight Me Next, He Should Give Up Belt And Let Me Fight For It

[Silence]

David "Teo" Bumavidez after TKO loss against Nelo: But but I won 10 rounds.

Once again, let's go back to what Canelo said. Fight someone and then go after Canelo. These top super middleweights want the golden ticket but want to protect themselves on their way to that ticket. Canelo's busy. He's got Bivol and potentially GGG in the Fall. Benavidez has plenty of time to fight another big name in the divison.

No, let's not. If Canelo doesn't want to fight the top fighters at 168 then he should vacate at 168. Anybody that doesn't understand that is a Canelo fan boy and not a boxing fan.

After all, it was his belt to begin with and Canelo only expressed interest in it 3 days after Benavidez was stripped.

This is the question that no one can ever answer. Whether you like Canelo or hate his guts he never showed any interest in the belt until Benavidez was stripped of it. That was a sucker move if there ever was one. There is no spin that can be put on this. None whatsoever. It was a coward's move.

you just need to have basic knowledge of the sport. First we all know he was offered 100 mil guarantee for 2 fights with pbc and 85 mil for 2 with dazn. Then dazn added a third fight for a max of 160 mil. Now There’s guaranteed money and then there’s Ppv cuts. Just do a little research and see how much extra money Canelo was paid on top of his guarantee for his successful Ppv events and figure it out. For example, he made an additional 35 mil vs ggg just in Ppv cut. Take into consideration his regular Ppv buys (bought via cable company) do much better than any of his dazn numbers because dazn is not as good at promoting and not everyone (especially the older generation) is willing to pay for and use an app. So 100 mil plus Ppv cuts for 2 fights could get him in that 160 range while the 3 fight dazn deal is worth “up to 160 mil” meaning it won’t exceed 160. So overall, canelo would be making more per fight with pbc and possibly could be in the same 160 range for just 2 fights if the Ppv fights do well. And let’s be real, if he did 800k vs plant on regular Ppv with pbc, isn’t it safe to believe he’d do better numbers vs Charlo and Benavidez?

The total three-fight package is priced at 160 million on DAZN. All three of these contests will be shown on DAZN pay-per-view, which won’t make many fans happy.

DAZN subscribers will need to shell out potentially $180 to watch Canelo Alvarez’s three fights on the platform in 2022.


160 > 100

Why isn't anyone calling out Zurdo Ramirez or Mungia?

[Larry the boss]

He is not in the position to call any shots

[A.B Counterhooks]

Canelo next opponents: undefeated 175 title holder and then top 160 champion GGG to end fantastic trilogy
Bandera roja next opponents: eternal contender David lemieux and TBD

Enough said LOL

160 > 100

Guess I need to break it down simpler. 160 is the max he will make for 3 fights with pbc. 100 plus Ppv upside for just 2 fights with pbc could get him in that same range for 1 less fight. And like you said, dazn subscribers aren’t happy with this Ppv concept which honestly will impact his sales and means that 160 from dazn may not even be 160.

Can I laugh at you if Lemuix looks better and wins more rounds against Benavidez then he did against Saunders???

Who cares about rounds. You gotta win the fight my dude. Heck, Brook was beating lil g before getting stopped and I could go on for days.
