Fans Warn David Benavidez After Reportedly Making “Close to $50 Million” Offer to Canelo Alvarez

Finally, plugging one more brick in the wall, David Benavidez and his team rolled out a new deal to ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. Sports Illustrated‘s Chris Mannix initially reported it. Michael Benson shared that a $50 million guaranteed purse could be Alvarez’s, but his undisputed Super Middleweight belts would be at stake. It follows the frequent callouts for a fight from Benavidez’s end, besides remaining at the top slot in the must-watch list of the fans.

Benavidez successfully defended his (Interim) WBC Super Middleweight title from Caleb Plant on March 25. On the other hand, ‘Canelo’ Alvarez secured his undisputed title a second time from John Ryder‘s challenge. Thus a match between the two seems logical. However, unforeseen reasons and other holdups keep the big fight hot and cold. Perhaps the new proposal might open new doors to the much-anticipated battle.

Skeptical fans caution David Benavidez not to take Alvarez lightly

Unsurprisingly, the news has pulled in nearly half-a-million views. Many fans chimed in with their feelings. Some welcomed the idea, but quite a few remain adamant that ‘Canelo’ Alvarez is not your run-on-mill boxer to toy around. Most followers think David Benavidez will have a cakewalk over ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, highlighting the following user. However, they should understand that the latter stopped Caleb Plant in the eleventh round. So he argues that Banevidez struggled till the final bell despite all the planning.

Agreeing with the details of the proposed deal, a user named Anthony states that Alvarez is a senior boxer. Moreover, he has been in the business longer compared to Benavidez. Hence it lends his team more credibility and privileges by default to seek higher returns from a fight.
