Promoter Bob Arum asks if Canelo Alvarez will only appear for money, or whether he will fight with Terenka Crawford in his main clash at PPV on September 12. Arum says he thinks Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KO) showed in his “last few fights” that “he is only a businessman “ He comes to pay.

Bags worth many millions of dollars = less effort

Last three reported Canelo handbags

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

In the case of Alvarez’s fight with Crawford (41-0, 31 KO), it is expected to receive a purse $ 150 million. Crawford is said to receive $ 50 million. Because Canelo’s bags become much larger in each of his last three fights, it is not surprising that his performances have fallen. Turks Alalshikh overpays Canelo and Crawford.

With a net value estimated at $ 275 millionCanelo is so prosperous that there is no motivation to fight and blow up the neck to entertain fans like other fighters.

“Who is Canelo and what will Canelo will appear?” said the promoter Bob Arum to media Asked if Terenka Crawford could defeat Alvarez in his fight on September 12. “Canelo, who wants to earn a huge check or Canelo, who really wants to fight like a warrior. Now Canelo, which we have seen in the last two years, is not only uninteresting, but there is really no encouragement to confuse him and entertainment of people with a good fight.”

It’s not just Canelo, which has not been great lately. Crawford was penniless in his last fight with Israil Madrimov and was lucky to win. He showed that he could not beat the best fighters in 154 with this performance. He definitely can’t do it in 160 and 1688. That is why he did not even try to fight anyone in these divisions to remain keen.

Not fighting for entertainment

“If I had to pay money to watch this fight, I wouldn’t do it because Canelo showed in the last few fights It’s just a businessman. He is not there to entertain society – said Arum. “He just takes a great check. On the other hand, if Canelo really fights, because you can say safely, Terenka always fights. She doesn’t know anything else. So it can be a really compelling fight.”

Canelo receives remuneration for what he did in the past, not for the level at which he is now fighting. He is on the hill at the age of 34 and you can understand why he decided not to fight David Benavidez and David Morrell, when they were both in a super medium weight. He can’t beat them.

Bob Arum says that Devin Haney’s performance was “shameful” Against Jose Ramirez in the fight for the coefficient of May 2 at Times Square, Up-to-date York. Arum of the top -class promoter states that he “receives” with Haneygreat money “ In the case of a rematch with Ryan Garcia in October he had no motivation to “risk” against Ramirez, trying to play.

It is surprising that Turks Alalshikh did not give up Haney after this performance. He mentioned this week that he was interested in making a rematch between Ryan and Devin.

Encouragement killing entertainment

Haney reportedly received $ 10 million For the fight against Ramirez to Undercard of Ryan vs. Rolando “Rolly” Romero. This is a gigantic bag for a fighter from the card that lost the loss, adapting to a veteran without a belt on the line.

With how Haney appeared in his three -wheeled loss with Ryan in April last year, he should have received a much smaller purse. In addition, Devin is not a PPV draw. He is a clinker and an applicant with a style similar to Shakur Stevenson in terms of nausea to watch fans. Based on the unknown style of Haney, he should have paid in thousands, not millions, for the fight of Ramirez. In the real world, when you achieve worse results, you will be replaced. You don’t get increases.

“In the olden days, when we had a warrior, such as Sugar Ray Leonard and Oscar de la Hoya, they had a reason to give the crowd a really comical fight, because their next fight was already agreed. But they stood to earn extra money from PPV, from great. So it was always that they looked good,” said promoter Bob Arum media.

“Now this incentive has disappeared because they were promised a lot of money for the next fight. Their only way they would do do not get involved. Devin Haney is a very good warrior. You saw the fight against [Jose] Ramirez. It was a disgrace. “

A-Listers don’t have to play

Arum explains it well. Fighters that Saudis consider to be a list, have no reason to try to play because they already have more fights planned and receive absurd money. They don’t have to try or promote fights. All they have to do is win.

“It was an absolute disgrace. But if you are Devin Haney and you get good money to fight Ramirez and you will get great money to fight [Ryan] Garcia, because he assumed that Garcia would win, why should he take any risk? But it’s not good for boxing. It’s terrible for boxing – said Arum.

There is something in the heavyweight ward. Even when there are no major titles at the stake, there is nothing like two great men. Saturday is a great example of why attractions are hefty. The invincible Johnny Fisher met Veteran David Allen in the rematch of their first fight, which fell at the end of last year in Saudi Arabia. Fisher won this controversial affair, but the story will not happen again on Saturday. Allen put down Fisher in five.

“I assume additional weight,” Allen later said, “he took the risk.” He certainly did it by hitting his man with a bad intention, especially in the body. Fisher looked well in the planned ten roundings. However, Allen was able to cause enough damage to break his man as the fight was fought. “I knew I was reaching him,” said Allen. He certainly was.

The whole fight was quite rapid, and the fisherman looked into one two hundred baking, and Allen constantly persecuted his man. However, 33 -year -old Allen made sure that his blows were counting. Again the man fired bad intentions. However, the fifth case occurred. Allen suddenly seemed to break his man.

Indeed, when the fifth went to the end, Fisher was sent to canvas. Therefore, if he did not immediately beat the judge, but the fight was almost finished. The crushing Allen Left Hook put Fisher a few seconds later. Risek Fisher sent a white towel gliding through the ring when the bell rang to finish the round and the judge laid the end of the proceedings.

It was an electrifying, hefty romance, a classic heavyweight, which had fun and intrigued. There weren’t even any arduous feelings. “Johna Fisher is my friend,” said Allen with authenticity after leaving for an explosive conclusion.
