Comments Thread For: The winners and losers of Canelo Alvarezs deal with Riyadh Season

[LarryMerchant'sBottle]

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

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...

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.

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.

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....

the biggest winner out of all of this is us we get to read the canelo butt sniffers non stop for years to come telling us in code how much they love their hero and that he doesnt have to fight anyone he doesnt want to and even if he did fight them he woudl win cos hes canelo of course LOL

I feel like I've been a bit of a loser as a fan of boxing for most of canelo's career. Just remember nobody needs to feel the way I do and that's ok!

Early career he seemed like a weight bully to me...pulling hatton up for the wbc was nonsense. Maybe one of the softest belt wins of modern times for me. He just looked like a massive mw fighting jmw who were mostly older and/or significantly smaller. Lara and trout are the big wins here...didnt impress me as they are not atgs by any means and his scores always seemed a little wonky. Let's not talk about the floyd card...

Worst move to mw ever with the catch weights and blatant dodging of ggg. Man strength? Gtfoh

Oh now hes the king of 168, but won't fight the biggest threats in the division after picking on a very weak lineup of champs? Gtfoh

I just don't care about the guy...no other steward of boxing has left me so meh. Think Oscar, tyson, jones, Leonard, pacman, hell even floyd...its just not the same feel or satisfaction level for me.

I'm beginning to care so little about Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, that I don't have much to say. Except, fuck that red-headed, freckled-face, fake ass Mexican mofo.

It can easily be solved by someone ko’ing him. Why step in the ring if you feel that you have no chance ?? Speak some common language. Because all I read is hating. Any man in his position would do the same thing

[PRvazquez]

Not appease the forums on boxing scene. This the ring every man for him self

The man does get lots of hate around here, that's for sure.... I have to hand it to Ginger though, the guy made out like a bandit signing that 4 fight Turki deal. I'm gonna say that his 4 fight deal is worth around $250 million..
