I don't think Benavidez can beat even this version of canelo, he eats shots to the head and body.

[MulaKO]

To answer Trout ; I’m thinking 200 million gets his appetite back

[Liondw]

He does, look how he dominated Jermell.

[Griever0730]

Canelo is gonna run Munguia over. Unless Munguia has picked up his defense under Roach, Canelo is gonna tee off on him all night. Should be a fun one while it lasts.

If only Alvarez had that much confidence in himself …..

Jermell had no intention of winning the fight with Canelo. He was simply there for the payday. Anyone who is complimentary to Canelo in the build up has no intention of beating him to the point where he may not survive. When James Buster Douglas fought Tyson, the sheer amount of emotion Douglas felt when his mother died was saved, stored, and used against Tyson who became the focus of every last bit of emotion Douglas ever felt to that point in his life. Douglas intended to harm Tyson that night and it showed. None of canelo’s opponents lately have come into the fight feeling afraid they may kill Canelo like Louis felt going into the Schmeleng rematch. That’s what’s missing in today’s fighters, at every level

I think it's more of the case that they don't like Benavidez and his team.

I think it's more of the case that they don't like Benavidez and his team.

Because he fights back and tries to win?

Canelo’s Price Tag For Benavidez: A Cool $150-200 Million
By Tim Compton - 03/20/2024

Canelo Alvarez wants a cool “$150-200 million” for a fight against David Benavidez, a sum seemingly beyond the reach of any well-known American promotional companies. That money will make a U.S. promoter’s eyes water and make Benavidez unhappy.

The Undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo (60-2-2, 39 KO) points out that the money being offered to him for a fight against Benavidez is a mere $25 million more than what he would get fighting anyone else.

“If a promoter comes to me and offers me 150 or 200 million, I fight tomorrow. If that’s on the table, I’ll fight him tomorrow,” said Canelo to the media about the 150-200 he wants to fight against Benavidez.

“That’s the reason I fight with him because the only thing he brings to the table is 25 [million] more,” said Canelo.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. made $300 million for his 2015 fight against Manny Pacquiao. When you look at the huge purse he received, it’s logical for Canelo to be masking for a massive amount of dough to take on a bigger risk against a younger fighter on the top of his game.

If Canelo loses or looks bad against Jaime Munguia on May 4th, he can forget about his chances of getting the huge dough to fight Benavidez from one of the promoters. It’s a dangerous fight for Canelo where he could lose or struggle to win, and that would be viewed as a loss.

Canelo sees a fight between him and Benavidez as one of the biggest in the sport. For U.S boxing fans, it would be bigger than the British heavyweight match that UK fans are salivating over between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.

The Saudis are the ones that are bankrolling the heavyweight fights, and they may not be interested in seeing Canelo fight Benavidez for the kind of money that they’re expected to pay Fury and Joshua.
