Caleb Plant posted its response to Edgar Berlanga on social media and rejected a fight against him in favor of a possible clash against Jaime Munguia later this year.
The former IBF super-mid-weight champion plant (23-2, 14 COs) pointed out to X that his PPV numbers are better than any Berlanga, Jermall Charlo or Munguia that brought in. This is actually true.

– Berlanga against Canelo: 650,000 Buy
Lialed’s plan
It doesn’t matter what plant says, because Berlanga doesn’t want to fight against him. The New Yorker, Berlanga (23-1, 18 COs), is More of a businessman Type of fighter rather than one focusing on winning world titles.
“Berlanga, Charlo and Munguia could all fight against each other in any order, and none of these battles would be as big as any of them fight against me, and that’s
. I brought more views, my PPVs did, I delivered more world champions and delivered more exciting battles. Xand respond to Edgar Berlanga, saying that he wants to fight Jaime Munguia later this year to abandon him to position him to get a re -broadcast with Canelo Alvarez.
He is aimed at money fights that he thinks he can win, which will lead him to get the very sought after re -broadcast with Canelo. It’s the pot of gold That Berlanga insists on it. Edgar is very strategic with the guys he is fighting, but he is not the one who leads his way. Berlanga is not going to fight against plant.
Although Edgar has mentioned plant as one of the three fighters he wants to fight to earn the Rematch with Alvarez, it will not happen. Berlanga will fight against Munguia if the recently smart fighter wins his Rematch against Bruno Surace on May 3, then the inactive 35-year-old Jermall Charlo.
If Berlanga wins the two fights, he will climb on his soap box and Crow over the victories And calls Canelo uninterrupted, hoping that the Saudi will have an interest to finance the unnecessary re -broadcast. In other words, Berlanga will take no chances of fighting one of the good 168 or 175 pounds, such as Caleb Plant, Osleys Iglesias, David Benavidez or David Morrell.
“Gimme” strategy
Berlanga will only use his victories over the hype -work Munguia and the inactive, Shiftless Jermall as the catalyst to get the second battle. It is so easy to read Berlanga’s playbook. He is tactical, and it is pathetic how he takes no risks to earn his big pay days. Munguia and the washed Jermall Charlo are not risky battles. These are gimmes.
His management is doing this, and it worked to get him a huge $ 10 million fight against Canelo in September. Berlanga fought strict opposition from the second level to create a record of 22-0. Canelo, who was strategic with the kind of battles he has in this late stage of his career, saw an easy mark and chose Berlanga and ignored his plume CV. It’s all about showing.
Berlanga said on Monday that he wanted Mungiaa for the PPV potential, and that they could market it as a Mexicao against Puerto Rico angle. Brunco Surace is likely to destroy Berlanga’s vision by providing Munguia on May 3 and forcing Edgar to take a different approach to a fight against Jermall.
