“Just a Businessman”: Promoter Bob Arum questions the motivation of Canelo Alvarez before Fight Fight

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.

Mason Modern Headliner after canceling the Keyshawn fight

Published

Image: Mason New Headliner After Keyshawn Fight Canceled

Saturday’s fight with Keyshawn Davis and Edwin de Los Santos was officially canceled after Keyshawn did not reach weight on Friday and was deprived of his lithe WBO title. Davis (13-0, 9 KO) weighed 139.3 pounds, i.e. 4.3 pounds above the limit of 135 pounds.

Abdullah Mason Modern Headliner

The fight of Abdullah Mason with Jeremia Nakathila will be moved to the place to Headliner on Saturday evening to save the show to the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. Mason has an invigorating combat style that makes him a perfect substitute for Keyshawn. When entering the fight, some fans perceived him as a worthy main header over Keyshawn.

Incorrect lithe pretender No. 2 WBO, Mason (18-0, 16 KO) comes from Ohio. This is not perfect to be the main event. However, the brothers Keyshawn, Kelvin and Keon Davis, are still on the card, and this will satisfy the crowd of Norfolk. Given that the Saturday event is shown at ESPN and ESPN+.

Keyshawn accepted a lot of criticism from fans for the missing weight. Many of them believe that he intentionally came to overweight to gain an advantage over the demanding punchating of Southpaw de los Santos (16-2, 14 KO).

What rejected the fans was Davis said that he was going to be his last fight at the age of 135 and that he moved to 140. In addition, he did not have the physical appearance of a warrior who pressed on the weight.

Davis: Miss unprofessional weight

“You should make a weight. Why did you sign a contract for 135 and placed the title on the line if you knew that you were not going to start?” Tim Bradley said WarriorResponding to Keyhawn Davis, who does not earn weight today.

Davis has never left his weight before during his tiny four -year professional career. In his last three fights he seemed to be bigger and looked like a weight class.

“It’s very unprofessional. You should do this weight. If you crawl on all fours to the scale, I say:” Damn, he tried to endure weight, but it was too much for him. ” But he didn’t crash on the scales at all, “Bradley said about Keyshawn.

Keyshawna size

The difference in size between Keyshawn and De Los Santos was noticeable during the last press conference on Thursday. After looking at Keyshawn, it could be said that it did not seem that he even began to take off the weight. However, de los Santos looked out of skin and skeletal.

“He is a immense 135-pound and was all his [4-year] career. However, he was busy, “Bradley said about Keyshawn. “It’s not like he was sitting for two years. He went from the camp to the camp. He should be able to bring this weight or get closer to this weight.”

Considering that Davis was already planning to leave a slight division, there was no reason for him to go through the bell, to go down to 135. However, if it was intended, he did not understand that the fight could be canceled.

“Four pounds are embarrassment, an senior. One pound, I understand. I understand some ounces, maybe even two pounds. But three pounds, four pounds and no, no. It’s not professional, senior. It’s bad and it’s unfortunate. Shame, shame, keyhawn. You dropped the ball here,” said Bradley.

Ego led Davis to failure

Lack of 4.3 pounds makes Keyshawn look bad. Is it on his part that prompted him to understand the response of fans? It can be. He seems to be a narcissus, and his victory over a cushioned opposition, which fed the highest rank, seemed to come to his head.
