Saúl Álvarez will face Jaime Munguía on May 4 at the T-Mobile Arena. This fight has generated a lot of criticism, as boxing fans wanted David Benavidez. The “Red Flag” criticized the choice of Canelo and Saúl Álvarez did not hesitate to respond.
It all started since Canelo Álvarez assured that he would fight David Benavídez only when he saw an exorbitant profit in return. Canelo spoke of figures that reach up to $200 million dollars.
“Maybe, who knows, but he didn’t bring anything to the table for me… but if some promoter I work with comes to me and says: ‘I offer you $150 or $200 million dollars’, that would be the only reason I would fight him because the only thing he brings is 25 more pounds.“Canelo said for ESNEWS.
In this sense, David Benavídez did not take long to respond to Saúl Álvarez’s demands. The “Red Flag” carried out a spicy response when advising Canelo to compare “bravery” with all the money he earns.
“Canelo, if I have nothing to offer you, why are you asking for $150-$200 million dollars to fight someone who is worthless? Hopefully after you earn that money you will have enough left over to buy a couple of eggs.“Benavídez said through his social networks.
Saúl Álvarez’s response
Canelo did not get into the controversy after David Benavídez’s reply. However, Saúl Álvarez was questioned about these words and He continued with the media fight with the “Red Flag.”
“I already have eggs, I don’t need to buy them (…) They have given me nothing and I am in the position that I am based on eggs and so many fights that I have made“I don’t have to please people who are never happy,” said Canelo to Universal.
Finally, the boxer from Guadalajara showed his tranquility by explaining that He is used to these types of requests. Canelo Álvarez considers that he has fulfilled the whims of the fans and, despite this, other opponents continue to demand of him.
