    I'm pretty sure Manny got 100mil cause froid chose USADA which is on froids payroll and froid was also on roids.

    And the ppv king is Jake Paul which is why froid is begging him for a fight

      manny’s 100M guarantee for facing PPV goat Floyd would be 135M inflation adjusted for today’s dollars

      Alvarez-Benavidez isn’t worth that kind of money playboi
      As long as they took to get it together Manny and Floyd both still got hustled they should have both gotten close to 200, mil, u got guys like Haney saying they are getting close to 30 mill a fight

          Doesn't matter if it's true or not, most likely it is (70/30 split makes it a 100m fight, which is easy to believe). If you're not seeing that Canelo is absolutely ducking Benavidez you're a blind fanboy. Canelo avoids fighting opponents who can hurt him. He avoids anyone and everyone with power.

          The recipe is easy - get preferential treatment from judges and don't get KOd. Look at his last ~20 opponents. How many of them were power punchers? He got bullied by Golovkin for years before fighting him the first time, then was again bullied into a rematch, and he popped dirty for PEDs. The only other power puncher he fought was washed, twice recently KOd Kovalev.

          Canelo is never fighting Benavidez.

            Mexican David isn’t the same power puncher at 175

            matter fact I think Alvarez hits harder at 175

              "200 mil, then yes."

              IOW
              Benny has no fans
              Has the worst resume in boxing
              Is not the draw
              AND is disrespectful
              Not going to give him a payday

              It makes perfect sense

                Callum this summer is his showcase fight

                at minimum David has to beat this declined Callum better than Alvarez did

                if not that’s the third shared opponent that the greats trumped him on

                  I'll say it 200 mil times
                  If Nelo had Benny's comical resume, Nelo would have been laughed out of the sport.

                    ducking the #1 guy in your division will never make sense no matter how big of a fan someone is. scull has no fans, a much worse resume, is not a draw etc...canelo still fights him. why? because hes not good or at least not as good as benavidez. then again canelo is the guy who ducked ggg for years while inventing his own weight division.

                      you just admitted its ok to duck guys if you have a better resume. its not. if you cant fight the best guys retire. you just admitted canelo is taking easy fights because of his past and name value. why you are a fan of this? no idea.
