“Canelo does not give off*: Mikey Garcia says Alvarez of building a” business “of $ 400 million,”, prioritizing easy fighting and big pay days about fans’ demands

Mikey Garcia says Canelo Alvarez is just a ‘businessman’ at this point in his career and just fights for money without caring about what fans think he’s taking easy fighting. Garcia says Canelo (62-2-2, 39 COs) is like a “Enterprise” Now, after I have already made a big fortune and put around to make $ 400 million.

Mikey says Canelo just takes a ‘low-risk, high reward’ fighting to ‘raise the money’, and he doesn’t blame him.

Ignore fan claims

The Mexican superstar creates a dynasty With the dough he came for his fights and had not had a difficult opponent since his loss against Dmitri Biblical on May 7, 2022. Of course, he no longer listens to the fans, because he swung David Banavidez and David Morrell.

Canelo’s fortune is now estimated at $ 250 million, and the figure is expected to rise from its next three fights against IBF Super Middleweight Champion William Scull on May 13, and possibly Dmitri Bivol, Chris Eubank Jr., Conor Benn or Hamzah Sheeraz in the first half of 2026.

The sculpture

“I also don’t know if the fans know this man, but I also know that Canelo doesn’t give from ***,” Mikey Garcia said IceM Sports Media About Canelo Alvarez’s undisputed super-middleweight collision against little well-known IBF champion William Scull on May 3 in Riyadh, Saud Arabia.

The casual box fans don’t know who Cuban William Scull is, but it doesn’t matter. Canelo needs his IBF Super Middleweight title, so he can get in his collision against Terence Crawford as the undisputed champion in September. It is all superficial marketing goods for image purposes to build interest among the hard box fans who care that Crawford gets the chance to become an undisputed three divisions champion.

Accidental fans would not mind the undisputed because they do not know who the 38-year-old Crawford is soon, or are not fans of him. He is not a very popular fighter because of his counter-and-on-and-on-and-unactivity (he fights once a year) and non-existent presence on social media.

Fans prefer Canelo to fight Banavidez, Morrell or Diego Pacheco on May 3 instead of Scull. He would not do that because it would be difficult fights he could lose. He must also become undisputed again To create artificial interest In his fight with Crawford. He would not need it if Crawford moved to the Super Middle weight and beat two or three of the top fighters in the division. This is not going to happen, because Crawford is not physically able to resolve fighters such as benavidez, morrell or pacheco. He is too old, weak, small and inactive to beat the guys. He barely beat 154 pounds of Israil Madrimov in his last fight.

“Canelo is there to fight against this man, become champion again, raise that belt (IBF) again, become undisputed again and raise a big salary,” says Mikey. “Then his new pair of battles will be the same. He collects a big salary for any battle he prefers to go on. “

It is a pity that boxing does not run like a real sport where fighters like Canelo would be forced the best in his division, and that weight jumping was not allowed. Canelo would probably have lost to Benavidez, Morrell and other contenders. His career would have ended years ago. Crawford would not be allowed to move two divisions to immediately challenge the titles on Super Middleweight without earning the title shot by beating Top contenders.

Garcia’s “businessman” explosion

“Canelo doesn’t give a good idea of ​​what we think or what we say about who he is fighting,” says Mikey. “His goals are no longer in the boxing achievements. He has already done it. He was champion in four divisions. He was undisputed. He was at the top of the match.

“For him, he’s just there to raise all the money he can. He could have walked away a year or two ago, but why would he if there were 2, 3 $ 400 million on the table? He’s not going to get away from it. He will stay around, raise the money and take the types of battles he has to take to take the kind of money. The low-ris side, high-ragged fights he does.

“I can’t blame him. He is now more a businessman than a fighter, “Mikey continued on Canelo. “He wants to become a big brand, a big name, like a business or something like that. He knows that there is so much opportunity to make money in boxing now. Why would he walk away? He doesn’t care, ‘Mikey says that Alvarez is now money -oriented.
