Comments Thread For: Promoter on Canelo Alvarez-David Benavidez: 'Now We Know the Price'

[Ropeydope]

Ginger farts a number out his arse and everyone goes crazy. It’s a negotiating tactic plain and simple and here we go. Whatever the number ends up being, it will be in Saudi Arabia and it will be more than the fight is worth.

From insults to diplomacy, huh... Why not give it a shot. Alvarez likes money, so get the Saudis interested enough to knock on his door.

Can't fault Benavidez's team for lack of trying.

Why should Saudis care bout two Mexicans.

Canelo and Benavidez are not heavyweights nor is any of them a Muslim.

Canelo fighting Munguia or the other a little bigger mexican, who gives a sh.it. Try to not watch these from American - western point of view.

turki told tank to do one with his ferrari crap, tyson fury was also told get lost with his 500 mil demand to fight usyk first (lol) & now canelo is the latest with a 200 mil demand, problem is i dont think turki has indicated he wants to make this fight, not that i know of, so he is making demands on a fight that is not on the saudi radar it seems

It's virtually extortion money, and for what? An old 33 year old Canelo who is slow, worn down, and falling apart at the seams.
Canelo isn't a exciting fighter in the ring anymore, he's just barely winning his fights by the slimmest of margins, Munguia might surprise him.
There is no way that this greedy little pig deserves anywhere near that kind of money, and the promoters know that he's nowhere near that amount.
It's Canelo's way of pricing himself out of fighting his mandatory challenger David 'Bandera Roja' Benavidez, who'd be the odds on favorite to kick the **** out of him!

Gonna be hilarious when the Saudi's pass

Alvarez does not want to fight Benavidez and probably won't so Benavidez might as well have some fun with the guy. Like show up ringside at Alvarez' next fight with his crew and have everyone hold a box of KFC. Then show up at Alvarez' next fight, all sit ringside in Duck Head clothing gear. Then show up at the next fight with the crew holding all kinds of balls with a huge $150 million price tag on each set of balls. That'd be funny.

Psychological warfare.

Canelo’s fights are worthy taking place at a Texas Walmart parking lot, surrounded by pick up trucks with their headlights on.

Alvarez is yella and would take more combinations than a chubb safe he's a dreamer DB threw over 1000 punches V Gavril 2 lol absolutely beast old school fighter loved him for years and I have always believed and stated what I thought he would do V yellow Canelo Alvarez I was rapt when Great true Mexican phenom Chavez Snr told the steroid monkey he needed to face the mexican Monster to earn the respect of the boxing fans unfortunately it will never happen Alvarez is a protected species a koala bear

Bivol beat a 5 8 super middleweight. Nothing impressive there. If he beats a true light heavyweight like Beterbiev then he deserves all the credit. There is a reason he is not superstar.

Exactly.

Canelo is one of the smaller champions in 168 and people forget that Canelo worst division was 175, he was losing they fight against Kovalev, or was too close.

Canelo fighting in 175 is like see Bivol fighting in cruiserweight against Usyk, for example.

But they hate is real.
