WHO WILL CANELO FIGHT NEXT ?
In recent news coming to light around the departure of Canelo Alvarez from Premier Boxing Champions (PBC). The split allegedly stems from a deadlock over Canelo's next two fights within his three-fight contract with PBC.
Originally, Canelo's agreement with PBC didn't include David Benavidez among the three designated opponents. Understandably, the sudden inclusion of Benavidez for his third bout might have left Canelo unsettled.
According to Dan Rafael, PBC refused to meet Canelo's purse demands for his proposed match against Jermall Charlo unless he also committed to facing David Benavidez afterward, completing his contractual trio.
The specifics of Canelo's desired opponent for his September fight remain undisclosed, although names like Jaime Munguia and Edgar Berlanga float as possibilities. Without a substantial purse offer from PBC for a Benavidez showdown, it's reasonable for Canelo to hesitate.
Considering the potential earnings from alternative avenues, such as a match in Saudi Arabia, a modest guarantee from PBC might not be enticing enough for Canelo to agree to the fight.
While Canelo's departure from PBC doesn't rule out a future clash with Benavidez, it underscores the need for significant financial backing to make such a bout lucrative for both fighters.
As reports suggest, Canelo has set his sights on Jaime Munguia for his next challenge post-PBC. The anticipated fight is likely to be aired on DAZN, marking a return to the platform that has hosted most of Canelo's recent bouts.
The matchup would feature Canelo defending his undisputed super middleweight title against Munguia, a promising 27-year-old former super welterweight champion.
Despite initially signing a three-fight deal with PBC, Canelo only fulfilled one bout, leaving his future engagements uncertain. The speculated showdown with Jermall Charlo appears to have faltered due to financial constraints within PBC.
PBC's recent transition to Amazon Prime Video for boxing broadcasts hints at a shifting landscape in the sport's promotion, with uncertainties surrounding the company's ability to meet the financial demands of marquee matchups.
