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

Canelo better knock Berlanga out for real. Now that he's gone under Turki's skin, an eventual decision may even go against him. One just never knows, in nowadays' boxing. Remember Pacquiao vs Bradley.

Put some money up for Bud vs Boots at 154

Canelo just met a bigger diva (Berlanga's description) in Turki. I'm going with longshot Berlanga just for fun--but not putting money on it.

Turki has done brilliantly so far with fights that would have never happened but he's chasing one here that shouldn't. Spend your money wisely Mr.Turki there's much bigger and better.

What big fights has he put on? Most of the cards he's put on have been garbage. This card ended up being garbage, people left when Crawford was fighting. Biggest fight he put on was Fury vs Usyk and that would have happened without him.

Canelo said Turkey isn’t my “excellency “

With all due respect Canelo is legit fighting Berlanga in a month you don’t just skip camp to start negotiations for another fight. The Crawford fight if it were to happen needs to wait.

F.uck
Turkey
A MF shame U.S. promoters letting this G.od hater run amuck on our Holy soil.

Would have been disrespectful and unprofessional of him to negotiate before his clash with Berlanga. He did the right thing but it's easy to do the right thing when you are guaranteed 35 million per fight. Turki got his feelings hurt and took his ball home.

Berlanga's biggest qualification is that he's not named Benavidez

We keep hearing about Turki paying so much for fights. I've never heard any specifics though. Is he paying crazy money for every fight , or just the big ones. Anybody know ?

Essentially Sports reported a 100 million dollar pay out with a list of minimums for each fighter. After the fight, Total Sports reported that Crawford would take home approximately $8 million after all is said and done.
