Canelo News

Almost two months after Jermell Charlo vs. Canelo Alvarez, trainer and former professional boxer Robert Garcia explained what went wrong with Jermell Charlo on September 30th. In this context, besides congratulating Charlo for the money he made from fighting Alvarez, Garcia declared he was disappointed in ‘Iron Man’.

Likewise, after branding Charlo a “boring a**” fighter, Garcia critically explained how Jermell was initially deluded. In his opinion, right after Charlo realized Canelo’s true potential, he abandoned his warrior mentality and switched to survival mode. Well, here is what Garcia had to say.

Gaining extra pounds was detrimental to Jermell Charlo’s performance against Canelo Alvarez

Although Robert Garcia praised Charlo for taking the bout against Alvarez, he felt climbing two weight classes harmed Jermell’s performance. According to him, even though Charlo gained the required weight, ‘Iron Man’ was no match for the power that Canelo possessed at Super Middleweight. Likewise, Garcia felt that after Charlo felt Alvarez’s power, he knew he could not win the bout.

“Moving up two weight classes, especially, from 154 to 168, it’s a big jump. Two weight classes at Super Welterweight [means] you’re talking about 12 lbs. It’s a big difference,” said Garcia. In his opinion, even though Charlo’s team felt ‘Iron Man’ had sufficient height, speed, and footwork, Jermell realized he was mistaken the moment he exchanged

David Benavidez and Demetrius Andrade square off at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, November 25. The winner of the bout is expected to determine the next contender to challenge Canelo Alvarez for his undisputed super middleweight title. The pair battles it out in the 12-round main event live on pay-per-view.

The co-main event features undefeated WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo in his ring return against former world title challenger Jose Benavidez Jr. The pair meets in the non-title bout, scheduled for 10 rounds.

Former two-time WBC super middleweight champion David Benavidez (27-0, 23 KOs) makes the second defense of his interim WBC 168-pound belt. The Phoenix native last fought in March, when he scored a unanimous decision against fellow former champion Caleb Plant. In May 2022, the 26-year-old stopped David Lemieux in the third round and landed the strap.

“Junior and I pushed each other to the limit,” David Benavidez said at an open workout that kicked off the fight week in Las Vegas. “This is something we’ve dreamed about since we were little kids. He’s co-main event, I’m main event for a pay-per-view fight. It doesn’t get better than this. We’re just really excited to be here.

“I’m just grateful and happy to be in this position. I’m also happy to be able to give the fans this type of entertainment while everybody’s at their families’ houses on Saturday. It’s going to be a great night of boxing.

“I think the intensity comes from experience. With everything I’ve been through in my life, I’m probably the most motivated I’ve ever been in my life. I have my son, my wife and my baby Khloe on the way. She’s going to be born in three weeks. I’m motivated on a different level right now, and I really do want to prove to you guys that I’m the best in the world.

“I agreed to this fight with Andrade because he’s the hardest. Other than myself, he’s the best in the division. He’s the hardest task besides Canelo, so I want to challenge myself. I really do want to be the best, and I’m

In the world of boxing, there is barely anyone who is not aware of Canelo Alvarez and his boxing prowess. Known for his fists of steel, Canelo has a bank account to match it, and he is not afraid to splurge that money on the finest things in life. Canelo is often regarded as one of the wealthiest boxers in the world, and the truth isn’t far from it. 

According to Celebrity Networth, Canelo is worth a whopping $200 million. This number surged even further after his last fight against Jermell Charlo. Canelo delivered an absolute beating to ‘Mell’ in what is being called a one-sided affair. While official numbers are not released to the public, many experts have speculated Canelo took home somewhere around $50 million. So, ‘Cinamon’ decided to spend his massive wealth on a brand new luxury sports car that cost $2000000.

Which car did Canelo Alvarez buy?

Sharing his recent purchase, Canelo turned to Instagram and shared a picture of the car in his story. The car sat snug in the garage with all its glory, draped with a large red fabric. It was a brand-new red LaFerrari, which set Canelo $2000000 back.  However, that’s not the only impressive car in Canelo’s garage. 

The four-division champion has an impressive collection of luxury cars, including Mustang 500 Eleanor, Shelby Mustang, Ferrari 458, Lamborghini Urus, and limited edition Lamborghini Gallardo. Surprisingly, that’s not even the end of it! He also owns a blue Bugatti Chiron, a Rolls Royce Ghost, and a Bentley. However, none of these match up to the new $2000000 LaFerrari that can reach speeds up to 217mph.

In the boxing world, where punches echo and titles change hands, Halloween unveiled a softer, quirkier side of its champions. Canelo Alvarez, a titan in the ring, stepped out of his usual fierce demeanor into something quite odd. Not far behind, icons like Claressa Shields and Mike Tyson shed their combat personas for festive flair. Yet, of all these champions, Canelo’s transformation stood uniquely apart.

Instead of the typical Halloween ghoul or hero, he played muse to a budding makeup artist: his daughter. While many celebrities paraded glamorous and spooky avatars on Instagram, Alvarez bore the innocent brush strokes of his child’s creativity. Champions, often seen as unyielding forces, were relishing in the tender embrace of family festivities.

The Canelo Alvarez clan unmasked: Ninjas take center stage

Crossover boxing matches are all the rage these days. Until a few days ago, the phenomenon was limited to influencers and MMA stars. But after a recent quarrel on X (formerly Twitter) between Conor McGregor and Canelo Alvarez, a potential crossover boxing match has the boxing world buzzing with excitement. If the fight were to turn into a reality, it could help ‘Cinnamon’ get closer to his former rival Floyd Mayweather in terms of net worth. 

The talks of Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather began with a tweet that launched a fiery exchange of words between these two mammoths of combat sports. The brash and confident ‘Notorious’ McGregor turned to X, praising Mayweather’s 2013 performance against Canelo. But he also boasted about landing more punches on ‘Money’ Mayweather than the Mexican superstar. Canelo quickly retorted, asserting he would need only one hand to make quick work of McGregor. Later, the banter further escalated, bringing a potential fight in the picture. 

Canelo Alvarez’s earnings and Floyd Mayweather’s influence

Canelo Alvarez reached his career high by becoming the first boxer to become the undisputed champion at super-middleweight by holding onto the WBA Super, WBC, and Ring Magazine super middleweight titles since 2020, and the IBF nd WBO titles since 2021. Meanwhile, his pockets became deeper and deeper, to the point that Canelo boasts a $180 million net worth in 2023. The most significant addition to his bank balance came when he signed a lucrative $365 million deal with DAZN and Golden Boy Promotions. 

Furthermore, Canelo and McGregor’s careers are intertwined with the legendary Floyd Mayweather. ‘Money’ faced both fighters at one point or the other, leaving each with a boxing lesson. When Mayweather defeated Canelo, it pushed him to hone his skills while starting a lifelong rivalry. On the other hand, McGregor made his boxing debut against Mayweather, losing the fight but leaving with a fat stack.

Implications of a fight between Canelo Alvarez and Conor McGregor

The excitement and allure of two mammoths of combat sports getting in the ring to pummel each other to the brink of their endurance is undeniable. Not to mention, the fight will leave either party significantly wealthier than before. A potential clash between Saul Canelo Alvarez and the ‘Notorious’ Conor McGregor would not just be a dream come true for fans everywhere. It would also be a money magnet that would funnel income from a variety of channels. 

A few of those lucrative channels of income would be revenue from pay-per-view sales, live gate revenue, merchandise sales from either party and various promotional events from the fight. What’s more, if anyone wondered if people would want to watch the fight. The attention it has gathered in the small span of their X (Twitter) feud should be evidence enough. Not to mention,

Conor McGregor and Canelo Alvarez traded shots online after McGregor put himself over the Mexican star’s performance against Floyd Mayweather.

McGregor raised Alvarez’s ire when he posted a clip of Mayweather’s 2103 win over Alvarez, praising Mayweather and adding he “landed more shots” on the now-retired boxer.

“I just need one hand with you and I don’t need to throw so many punches,” Alvarez shot back on X, including a laughing emoji.

In fact, McGregor’s claim is correct – mostly. According to Compubox stats from the fighters’ respective meetings with Mayweather, the former two-division UFC champ landed 26 percent of his punches and 28 percent of his jabs in their 2017 “Money Fight,” while Alvarez landed 22 percent of his punches and 15 percent of his jabs in the 2013 sho

Former UFC dual-weight champion Conor McGregor has begun a war of words with Canelo Alvarez.

‘The Notorious’ has been out of action for over two years, suffering a broken leg in his July 2021 trilogy with Dustin Poirier. As a result, Conor McGregor has been on the sidelines recovering since then, even leaving the USADA pool. During his time away, the Irishman has called out everyone from Nate Diaz to Canelo Alvarez.

For his part, the Mexican boxer has long had no interest in facing Conor McGregor. Whenever asked about a fight with the former UFC champion, Canelo Alvarez has always responded in the negative. While there’s no indication that the two will ever fight, they did trade words over a potential bout earlier today.

Conor McGregor got the back-and-forth started with a post on X, where he refl
