“Canelo Alvarez Sparks Outrage with Outlandish Demand for David Benavidez Fight: Fans Cry Foul”
In a recent development that has sent shockwaves across the boxing community, Canelo Alvarez, the reigning Mexican superstar, has set the boxing world ablaze with his latest demand regarding his potential fight against David Benavidez. Despite the highly anticipated Cinco De Mayo weekend clash with Jaime Munguia, which is scheduled for May 4 at the iconic T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, fans have been left reeling as Canelo has seemingly shut down any hopes of a showdown with Benavidez, labeling him as ‘The Biggest Liar in Boxing.’
The saga unfolded during a recent press conference for the Munguia fight, where Fight Hype seized the opportunity to grill the multi-division world champion about the prospects of a clash with Benavidez. In a jaw-dropping revelation, Canelo asserted that Benavidez, in his eyes, brings “nothing to the table” and that the only conceivable scenario for the fight to materialize would be if he were offered an astronomical sum ranging between $150 to $200 million.
Canelo’s audacious demand has sparked widespread outrage and disbelief among boxing aficionados, who have taken to social media platforms to express their discontent. One fan went as far as labeling Canelo as “the biggest liar in boxing,” citing his exorbitant demand as evidence of his reluctance to face Benavidez, despite previous claims to the contrary. Another fan speculated that Canelo’s exorbitant demand was a thinly veiled attempt to mask his fear of facing ‘The Mexican Monster.’
“He brings nothing to the table for me,” said Canelo.
“[If] one promoter who I work [with], they come and say I offer to you 150-200 million, I [will] fight tomorrow,” said Canelo.
However, amidst the torrent of criticism directed towards Canelo, some voices emerged in defense of the Mexican maestro. One user argued that Canelo’s demand was justified, given the magnitude of the potential showdown, while another drew parallels with Floyd Mayweather’s colossal purse for his fight against Manny Pacquiao.
Yet, the controversy surrounding Canelo’s demand persists, with fans divided over whether such an exorbitant sum is warranted for the much-anticipated clash with Benavidez. While Canelo’s team has vehemently denied receiving any concrete offers for the fight, the boxing world remains on tenterhooks, eagerly awaiting a resolution to this titanic clash of titans.
