Saul “Canelo” Alvarez has named his price for a long-awaited showdown with David Benavidez. Canelo says he’ll fight Benavidez only if the paycheck justifies the risk.
Canelo has repeatedly been accused of ducking Benavidez with many disappointed that he fought Jaime Munguia over the weekend instead. Calls for Canelo to fight Benavidez only intensified after the undisputed super middleweight champion defeated Munguia via unanimous decision on May 4.
In a March kickoff press conference for the Munguia fight, Alvarez named his price for the showdown with Benavidez. He said it would take between $150 million and $200 million for the risk associated with the matchup.
Canelo addressed those demands again
