Edgar Berlanga is bitter that his struggle with Jonathan Gonzalez Orthiz (20-0-1, 16 COs) will be the co-function instead of the main meeting on Saturday, March 15, in the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida.
The event will be shown Live on dazn. Instead of being the main liner, Berlanga’s farewell fight with Matchrome is on the bottom map of Austin Williams against Patrice Volny.
Berlanga (22-1, 17 CO’s) says he was supposed to head in Puerto Rico on March 8, but promoter Eddie Hearn sent him contracts that he didn’t like, including one who expanded him with the match room.
Berlanga did not want to do this because he believed that there would be a great question for him as a free agent. He wants to “Get the bag.” According to Hearn, Berlanga wanted an easy Comeback fight after his loss of Super Middleweight Champion Canelo Alvarez last September. He wanted to be in a main event in a non-headliner fight.
Berlanga got a massive payday against Canelo rumors that it is $ 10 million, showing that Hearn delivered him. He probably didn’t hit anyone to fight, and was not interested in the fight against former WBA ‘ordinary’ super -mid -weight David Morrell when he was the mandatory for his belt.

Free Agency Plans
“This free agency tour will be like Kobe, Lebron, Carmelo Anthony and Michael Jordan,” Edgar Berlanga said Thaboxingvoice On the claim he expects for his services after his contract with Matchroom ends with his fight this Saturday against Jonathan Gonzalez Organ.
It is doubtful that there will be a great demand for Berlanga’s services as soon as he hits the free agency market, as he believes. You never know. If Turki Alalshikh and Dana White’s TKO box wants to sign Berlanga for big money, he would be happy. However, Berlanga will have to be protected for him to thrive with the way he was carefully led with the match room and the top rank. Turki and Dana couldn’t bring Berlanga with the best and expect him to do well. He is likely to lose repeatedly. Dana said the fighters who are with them will lose. So, maybe it doesn’t matter if Berlanga is beaten over and over.
“Do you think I want to sit here (with the match room) and fight these kinds of fights. If I was a free agent now, I would now fight against a mega fight, ”Berlanga continued. ‘It would have been Munguia, Caleb (plant) or (Jermall) Charlo. I aim for the top dogs. “
Jermall Charlo, 34, did not fight over two years, and he is not the type who would sell in a head liner on PPV against Berlanga. It would require the older people to be interested in buying the opportunity to do well because they were too inactive.
‘I was scheduled to fight in Puerto Rico in the main meeting on March 8. Eddie Hearn and his crew continued to return contracts we did not like, and they wanted to do an extension. We didn’t want to do an extension. I wanted to do a one and finish and feed a farewell with them and do it in Puerto Rico. They didn’t see with our eye, ‘Berlanga says.
Note: The opponent Berlanga wanted to fight for the Puerto Rico show is claimed to be 39-year-old travel man Pink gabe (26-17-1, 15), which led 0-4 in his last four battles and has not won since 2021. Obviously, it would be a poor farewell fight for Hearn’s match room and Dazn would display Dazn in the main event on one of their cards. They want to offer value to the fans, and Berlanga against Rosado would be pure poison.
SuperStar Status?
“I don’t want to fight at the co-head event, but it’s a sacrifice for me just so I can be a free agent after this, so I can make my own movements and do what I want to do. I am now true at that level I’m a superstar right now. I am a fight with a high caliber and I sell tickets and I am a must-watch fighter on TV.
Berlanga is not a superstar. He is popular in parts of New York and in Puerto Rico. As for the rest of the US, he is just a manufactured fighter protected by his promoters, which matches tomato box to set him up with a cash fight against Canelo Alvarez. He did, he showed his gratitude by leaving the match room and believing that things would be better for him elsewhere.
“There are big, big, big, big battles at 168 that I want to make. I feel that if I’m alone and I can go with a TV network, because the TV networks are what bosses are, ‘Berlanga says. ‘The TV networks are those who eliminate the money, and then the promoters hide the money to the fighters.
‘So whatever promoter I decide to promote a big mega-fight and whatever TV network we are going to make, we make big money so we can eat and make both history. This applies to Jaime Munguia, Caleb Plant, Jermall Charlo. It’s about money movements now. It’s about earning a lot of money for me and the other man across the ring. “
Whoever signs Berlanga, they will have to go well with him to be beaten if he fights against a good opposition, but he did not show him the talent to do well against any of the top middle weights. His best career victories are Padraig McCrory, Jason Quigley, Steve Rolls, Roamer Alexis Anguilo and Marcelo.
“You got me. I’m about to be 28. You have munguia, he is 28. You have Caleb plant. He is in his thirties. Charlo is in his thirties. These guys want to make a legacy, history and make the suitcase. So, if they retire, they have their family, their children and can eat them well, ”Berlanga said.
