“Mayweather Promotions CEO Backs Canelo’s $200 Million Demand: Boxing World Divided!”
In the arena of boxing, where fortunes are made and legacies forged, the debate rages on over Canelo Alvarez’s audacious demand of $200 million to face David Benavidez in the ring. With opinions sharply divided, the backing of Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe adds fuel to the fiery discourse, setting tongues wagging and passions alight.
In a bold stance that reverberated across the boxing world, Alvarez laid down the gauntlet, declaring his terms for the highly anticipated matchup. While some balked at the astronomical figure, others, including Ellerbe, recognized it as a shrewd business move from a seasoned champion who knows his worth.
Ellerbe said, “I don’t have a problem with it. I mean, he [Canelo Alvarez] is speaking how he feels. He knows what he is doing. He has been in huge fights, he has made an enormous amount of money. Several hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars.”
“He has had a fantastic career thus far. He has fought everybody that he possibly could and David Benavidez is just another challenge out there potentially for him. I’m excited. As a fan, I would love to see the fight. But at the end of the day, Canelo is calling the shots,” Ellerbe concluded.
With a nod to Alvarez’s illustrious career and substantial earnings, Ellerbe voiced his support for the champion’s demands, asserting, “He knows what he is doing. He has been in huge fights, he has made an enormous amount of money.” In Ellerbe’s eyes, Alvarez’s track record justifies his lofty financial aspirations, positioning him as a savvy businessman who’s earned the right to call the shots.
Moreover, Ellerbe views Benavidez as another formidable challenger in Alvarez’s storied career, acknowledging the potential for an electrifying showdown between two titans of the sport. Despite the simmering tensions and discord surrounding the proposed bout, Ellerbe remains optimistic, expressing his eagerness as a fan to witness the spectacle unfold.
He wrote, “@canelo if I have nothing to offer then why are you demanding you get 150-200 million to fight someone who isn’t worth anything? Hopefully after you make that 150 million you have enough left over to buy a pair of n*ts.”
However, Benavidez’s scathing response to Alvarez’s demand adds a new layer of intensity to the already heated debate. Venting his frustration on social media, Benavidez lambasted Alvarez for what he perceives as an exorbitant fee, questioning the champion’s motives and resolve.
In the midst of the controversy, Alvarez prepares to defend his titles against Jaime Munguia, while Benavidez sets his sights on a new challenge in the light heavyweight division. With both fighters charting their respective paths to glory, the prospect of a showdown between them remains tantalizingly out of reach, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the next twist in this gripping saga.
