Canelo Alvarez Demands $200 Million for Fight

Canelo Alvarez has set a staggering asking price of $150 million for a potential fight against Terence Crawford, indicating he is only interested in the bout if the financial terms are satisfactory. Saudi advisor Turki Alalshikh previously expressed interest in making the Crawford fight happen but has since retracted his offer, focusing instead on other boxing events in the U.S. Canelo regards the Crawford fight as 'easy money' but admits to hesitations about facing him due to his movement in the ring. Additionally, Alvarez demands $200 million for a fight against David Benavidez, citing the risk of facing a significantly larger opponent. While Canelo is open to the Crawford match if lucrative enough, the absence of a concrete offer from the Saudis may hinder its realization. The boxing landscape remains fluid, with possibilities for future negotiations still open despite current setbacks.
