Comments Thread For: Edgar Berlanga: 'Benavidez doesn't sell, Morrell doesn't sell ... I have superstar status'

[Z. B. Canova]

Crawford, less than impressive against Madrimov. He lloked to ba a 36 year old, soon to be 37, aging fighter. Stepping-up in weight class not a factor in his favor. So. Spare the talk about Canelo and Crawford. Crawford isn't even remotely capable of beating Cabelo. An easy payday for Canelo. As for DB, he will look very pedestrian in his defeat by Bivol or Beterbiev. As for Morrell, who cares - which is rhetorical.. Maybe, after either LH champ beats DB's brains into mush, Canelo will step-in to end DB's career.

The sad thing is, I don't think Canelo will even manage to stop Berlanga.

NOBODY knows who Berlanga is outside the boxing circles. He hasn't done anything yet. Has he been on PPV undercard yet? I still can't believe this dude talked his way into a mega paycheck without accomplishing anything in the sport. Incredible.

Also, I think shameful for Canelo of all the opponents he could of went with, he picks a mostly unknown, green dude whose chin is going to be for the taking. Canelo blasting Edgar out and getting a +1 win in the PR vs Mexico rivalry. As they say, EZ Money.

Who told this bag of shyt that he sells? His biggest even was in the theater at msg, not even the main arena and he got booed for his performance. The Mexico vs PR thing is overrated because Cotto who was a legend and sold out msg before only did 900k with canelo. This fight may do 300k if they’re lucky. Canelo vs benavidez would do a mil easy dude to demand if the fight. Nobody asked for this fight.

This fight is going to sell if he keeps saying crazy BS like this lol, what a clown. Superstar? Someone, anyone, please catch me up, what was the last successful PPV this dude headlined? Just trying to understand what he means by the word "Superstar"

[Slip jab]

What I truly dont understand is....why are people still buying Canelo's PPVs, and how is he the "money man" at this point? He doesn't fight guys who will make him work or challenge him. He doesn't KO the guys he fights. He is winning on points and the fights aren't fun to watch.

I mean are his fans loyal to him like a friend, like he cares about them or something? Is it nostalgia? Do they just like to keep giving him their hard earned money because they think he is cute or something?

At this point it make no sense.

I’ve never bought a canelo fight other than the Floyd fight. I don’t bother they’re just not worth it for me. As far as the “money man “, that may be changing. Crawford might be the new guy. That’ll be cool because he’s the only guy I support these days. Haymon and Floyd put up trash events

[Elheath]

Forget Canelo completely for one sec and lemme ask this question...out of Benavidez, Morrell, and Berlanga who is the biggest star boxer?

My expectation is that the answer "Benavidez" "Morrell" and "none of them" will all come before "Berlanga"

[LAchargers373]

Berlanga is such a bum it’s painful

[zod66]

Crawford vs Benavidez then Canelo will fight winner

[Old Spice]

Please Canelo don't carry this guy. Just blast him out in two. How this guy won the lottery is beyond me.
