At the same time, it should be remembered that Benavidez said at the time that Canelo turned down a juicy offer for them to fight face to face.
"It was more than 45 million dollars. That was the money that Al Haymon and PBC were offering for the fight against Canelo. I see a lot of people saying you don't make offers to the A-side, but $45 million is a world of money. People want to see that fight, the company was backing me. That's why I thought we could make the fight happen, but they went in another direction.... It's one thing for them to turn down the offer and wait another year to make the fight and make more money, but they didn't even respond. Imagine he has an offer on the table for 45 million dollars and nobody answers. I don't know what else to say,"
There was no need for Benavidez to "activate" his mandatory when he was already the mandatory for 3 years. The WBC didn't enforce the mandatory and that's why it didn't happen. THAT'S the reality. Any other narrative is either your ignorance on the subject or you're just a liar.
