Cahelo’s last 4 fights didn’t happen under Turki and he made the $35 to $40 million paydays. You are assuming the other three fights will be like Cahelo’s last 4 fights. Maybe and maybe not,

As long as Ginger fights Benny, nobody cares about the other three fights.

There are 2 certainties we currently know about and they are, 1. Ginger's next opponent is Scull on May 3rd and Ginger won't be getting anything less than $35 million. How can we be certain it isn't less than $35 million? Easy, he passed on fighting Jake in May for about $90-120 million. I wouldn't be surprised if Turki will be paying him $50 to fight Scull. 2. Ginger is fighting Bud in September and he(Ginger) will make no less than $100 million for that fight, considering he was asking for $150 million to fight Bud.

Those two are the only certainties. Names were mentioned for the 3rd fight and a couple of the names were Charlo and Hamzah Sheeeraz. His 4th fight rival is TBD.

I am hopeful that one of those fights is against Benavidez, but it is not a sure thing at the moment, but my original point was that the winners in this Ginger/Riyadh deal are Ginger and his fans. Thus far, Boxing fans and Ginger detractors are the losers considering he's fighting a low level opponent in Scull and possibly Sheeraz or Charlo for his 3rd fight and a smaller man in Bud.

Ginger is getting overpaid by Turki(a Ginger win) and his fans/fanboys are only gonna have to pay $25 for PPV....

Why wouldn't Ginger keep fighting lower level guys or smaller guys when freaking Turki is rewarding him for doing so??? Ginger was gonna be taking a financial hit if his PPV numbers took a hit fighting lower level guys or guys that boxing fans didn't want him fighting. But thanks to Turki's 4 fight mega million dollar deal, Ginger doesn't have to worry about PPV numbers anymore.

Ginger pulled a fast one on Turki but Turki can't see it because he was too desperate to have the Ginger Brand on his roster. Ginger is laughing all the way to the bank and Turki just helped him avoid losing his $35-40 guarantee for fighting lower level opponents. It's sad and hilarious at the same time...

The biggest loser will be Turki because payng ridiculous purses and fighters like Canelo are fighting garbage opponents. Turki must be an awful negotiator paying big and not getting fighters to fight the best fights, Canelo being a prime example.

-/—-
That’s like saying the biggest loser is any studio paying an actor $20 milllion or a celebrity buying a painting for millions of dollars.
Turki has a bottomless pit of gazillions of dollars. He can afford to pay anyone any amount of money.

Have you looked into how soccer stars are getting paid incredible amounts of money in Saudi Arabia?

More important, we might end up getting Canelo to fight Benavidez. With Turki, the boxing landscape has changed overnight. Fans are getting the fights they want.
Go ahead and ask me about Scull as your rebuttal - it appears that’s what will be next.

How does the author both criticize the alphabet organizations for not stripping Canelo for failing to fight his mandatories, but ALSO say that the IBF shouldn't have stripped him? The last time the IBF super middleweight champion defended against an IBF mandatory was January 2021... He should have also been stripped of his WBA belt for not fighting his WBA mandatory since January 2021, David Morrell Jr, and his WBC belt for not fighting his mandatory since mid 2022, David Benavidez. He has defended his WBO belt against WBO mandatories Ryder and GGG, so he can keep that, but it's hypocritical to criticize the IBF for doing exactly what the WBA and WBC should have done years ago.

if canelo keeps fighting lower level guys and smaller guys it will take canelo stans longer than AJ stans to exit the building but it will happen as soon as he fights anyone hard i would say, not sure if bud is that person might be a bit small to get the job done

The winners are Ginger and his fans. The losers are the boxing fans that wanted to see Ginger test himself with tougher opposition such as Benavidez and the likes...

Freaking Turki is paying Ginger cash loads to fight Scull and Bud and Ginger's fans don't have to pay $90 to see him fight. Instead Ginger fans will only have to pay $25. Again, Ginger and his fans are the only winners....

another day. with more crying on NSB. LOL.. canelo really got these mofos in their feelings.

[Boxing Scene]

Hardcore boxing fans are the losers and so is Cheatnelos legacy. A laundry list of cheating, smaller guys, shot fighters and robberies. Absolutely awful career.

The writer forgot to include himself as a LOSER, one of the dumbest articles and picks Crawford to beat Canelo, go watch youtube brother and watch Kaviluskas drop him and Gamboa stagger him all over the place, Canelo is going to smoke this dude and ugly....

People with more boxing knowledge and experience than the writer or you have also given Crawford a fair shot to win. Not saying I agree but assuming Canelo has an automatic win is a bit foolish. He hasn’t shown anything in 3 years to indicate that he’s good enough to have that level of confidence in him.
