Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez, focused on Edgar Berlanga, puts Turki Alalshikh on pause

[champion4ever]

I appreciate what Turki is doing as a fan of this sport and I’ll continue to support the events. It’s sounding like some fans just want to go sit on his lap and fan him off with big leaves

No, my friend. You do us boxing fans an injustice.

I think the reason why so many boxing fans can connect with your Excellency is because he is a boxing fan first and a shrewd businessman second

Unlike these current boxing promoters; He understands the market value of the sport and knows where to draw the line. He is not going to throw good money after bad.

For example: If said fighter wants said amount of money then he is going to have to take some risks and fight the best available opponents out there.

If not, then there would be no fight and no one will get paid. He’s telling Saul Alvarez that under no uncertain terms that his days of riding the gravy train are over.

can canelo beat prime berlanga, we shall see

He is never fighting Benavidez

Never, ever? NEVER, EVER!!

Canelo is still other fighter's golden ticket. Canelo is giving EB and Munguia a payday that Turkii would have never done, amongst others. Sure those aren't the biggest fights he can make, but this helps other boxers get paid as well as the promoters and everyone else involved. Canelo is fkn putting food on the table for sport.

If Turkii really respects the sport, he needs to respect Canelo, but instead Turkii is acting like a spoiled child who thinks he can make anyone do what he want for money.

I think Crawford will still want the Canelo fight. Yes for money, but also to attempt to push his legacy to the stratosphere. Crawford vs anyone won't come close to the type of money he can get fighting Canelo. Sure Turkii can continue to pay Crawford 2.5m to fight non-legendry fighters but he's done that his whole career for 1m a pop at espn... Turkii isn't really giving him much more. Crawford doesn't have any other options that would net him as big a payday as Canelo.

Honestly Crawford and Canelo can fight in May without Turkii and Crawford will make way more than Turkii is paying him now...

Also fk Turkii for asking Canelo to negotiate while Canelo is in camp and worse ask Canelo to give up his May 5th weekend.. That not only belongs to Canelo but the Mexican, Mexican American, Latino, and American boxing community. Turkii thinks he can just come in and change our cultural holiday with his money. Fk off..

Also let Turkii and UFC compete with Canelo on on Sept 16 weekend.. They well see it won't affect Canelo's bottom line.

It's not so much that Turki is disrespecting the sport by pushing for negotiations for a Crawford fight as Canelo prepares for Berlanga. It's more like he's looking past this farce of a fight between Canelo and Berlanga. Mexico vs Puerto Rico! With upstart Edgar representing PR? FOH!

You can’t even spell Nigeria !!

Alright, Okownkwo, I’m guessing you don’t believe France has been meddling with all the West African nations the last 60 years?
People like you are the ones that bend to white people the moment you get to the US. You hate on blacks and talk about prison stats to prove your silly points.

For the record, I am not white and know more about Africa than you could possible know if you lived a hundred lifetimes. How you ask? Take a wild guess my Yoruba cousin

Ohkay
I hear the hate in your written words..I bend to capitalism, the ability to provide for my family in abundance and kn freedom..Imagine being in the freesest nation and still being chained by your mind..grow up, go make money and love yourself not the color of your skin. Everyone has problems..

well except in this case turki wants crawford-canelo and not benavidez-canelo.

i dont care about crawford canelo, that is an easy night for canelo and pay day for crawford but for fans, the outcome is pretty predictable.

I truly dont get the persistence Turki has with Crawford vs Canelo i mean why?
