Probably you are right, but the reality is that Canelo has signed to fight the next three fights under the PBC banner. I suspect that his team and Al Haymon have pretty much figured out who the next 3 fights are. Keep in mind that apart from Tank none of the PBC fighters are mega draws. It is Canelo who generates the bulk of the revenues that feed all fighters he fights and the whole apparatus associated with the fights. My guess is that Benavidez will be the 3rd fight in this contract with PBC. It makes sense, at least to me, because in this line-up Benavidez is the biggest threat. If Canelo fights him first and loses then the next two fights will make less revenue. This is the best move, but anything can happen. it could turn out that Charlo smokes Canelo, and then Haymon stands to lose a bunch of money because Canelo's drawing power will diminish and PBC guaranteed top dollar. We shall see,
If Nelo losses to Jermell then he"s already a damaged goods ... PBC can still make money on fight #2 and #3 by feeding Nelo to more smaller black fighters in circus fights...
