“Business Man only”: Promotor Bob Arum Questions Motivation of Canela Alvarez on the eve of Terrence Crawford Fight

The promoter Bob Arum questioned whether Canelo Alvarez would only appear for the money or to fight Terrence Crawford in their main conflict of events on PPV 12. September. Arum says he thinks Canelo (63-2-2, 39 Kos) showed in his “last few fights” Just a businessman ” comes on a salary.

Multimillion bags = less effort

Canel’s last three reported handbags

– William Scull: $ 100 million
– Edgar Berlanga: $ 65 million
– Jaime Munguia: $ 35 million

For Alvarez’s fight against Crawford (41-0, 31 ko), it is expected to get a purse $ 150 million. Crawford is said to receive $ 50 million. Since Canel’s handbags are much larger in each of the last three struggles, it’s not surprising that his performances have set out downhill. Turki Alalshikh is overwhelmed by Canelo and Crawford.

With a net value estimated at $ 275 millionCanelo is so rich that there is no stimulus that he is hard to fight and glue his neck to entertain fans like other fighters.

“Who is Canelo and what will Canelo appear?” said promotor bob arum on Media Asked if Terrence Crawford could beat Alvarez in his fight on September 12. “Canelo who wants to make a big check or Canelo who really wants to fight like a fighter. Now, Canelo we’ve seen in the last two years is not just boring, but there’s really no incentive to mix him and entertain people with a good fight.”

It’s not just Canelo who doesn’t look great lately. Crawford was poor in his last fight against Israil Madrid and was lucky to win. He showed that with this performance he could not beat top fighters in 154. Definitely cannot do so in 160 and 1688. So he didn’t even try to fight anyone in these divisions to stay sharp.

Don’t fight for fun

“If I had to pay money to watch that fight, I wouldn’t have done it because Canelo has shown in the last few fights that are He is just a businessman. He’s not there to entertain the public, “Arum said.” He just takes a big check. Then again, if Canelo is really fighting because it is safe to say, Terrence is always fighting. He knows nothing else. So that could be a really interesting fight. “

Canelo is paid for what he has done in the past, not for the level he is now struggling with. He is across the hill at 34, and you can understand why he decided not to fight David Benavidez and David Morrell when they were both in a super middleweight category. Can’t beat them.
