Promotor Eddie Hearn says Canelo Alvarez will receive a salary between $ 80 and $ 120 million for his fight against Jake Paul. Today it was revealed that the fight would happen on May 3 in Las Vegas.
Hearn advocates for Canelo (62-2-2, 39 ko) who decided to take a big salary against Jake (11-1, 7 ko). He thinks this is a smart move for a businessman boxer, who can make a lot of money in the uncertain fight against the cross -country Paul.
PPV potential
Fans may not like the fight, but Paul’s huge social media will follow the successful and probably the biggest PPV event 2025. There will be enough Canel fans who order the fight to further ensure that they bring in a good number.
“I’m biased because I love Canelo Alvarez and I think what he did in his career is proven everything. His resume is amazing,” Eddie Hearn said HUB TV fights. “If you want to make $ 100 million to fight Jake Paul. The thing is about Canel. He doesn’t say any lies. It’s very transparent.
“He won’t try to justify this fight for you.” No, what I do is bringing boxing to a wider audience. “No, he does it for a bag full of money. So whenever you put an opponent forward to Canela Alvarez, his question is: ‘ ??
“He is a businessman at this stage of his career. Someone offers $ 80 million, $ 100 million, $ 120 million to fight Jake Paul. It’s a fight in which there is absolutely no risk. By the way, you can’t criticize Jake Paul because he’s criticism for him : When will you fight someone decent?
Whoever pays Canela and Jake, the kind of money that Hearn speaks will take a certain risk. If Netflix will pay them, I have money to increase their subscriber base. With Jake’s huge monitoring of social media and YouTube, who fundes this fight could make money.
He would have to bring a lot of PPV that obviously in line with the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor. Payment price on Canelo-Paul view should be high for the event to prevent the organizers from preventing bloody money.
“The only respect is money. He is [Jake] not doing it for free. He doesn’t go because he wants to prove himself as a great fighter. He does it for $ 100 million or whatever he gets, “Hearn said about Jake Paul.” That’s dangerous and he’ll splash. However, many Canelo Circles want it to be. “
Risk
If Canelo is hit as often as in your last fight against Edgar Berlang, you cannot exclude the disturbing victory for Jake Paul. Berlang has no ability and put his hands on Alvarez after the Mexican star came out after four rounds.
Jake is at least talented as Berlang, but he hits the stronger and not fighting stupid by grabbing on ropes the way he did. Moreover, Paul would actually try to win, not just to show up to get his salary and trophy to participate.
“The only thing is that Jake will be much harder and bigger, but there is no disrespect for Jake’s ability as a fighter. He fights against Canel Alvarez, who is one of the best fighters in the world. He will make a lot of money while receiving a showdown,” Hearn said.
