According to the deal from Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, Canelo Alvarez has been offered to fight Dmitry Bivol, and then a hugely anticipated trilogy bout against Gennady Golovkin. On the other hand, the deal with PBC pits the Mexican champion against Jermall Charlo and then David Benavidez. Earlier, it was revealed that Canelo Alvarez has signed with Eddie Hearn, with the Mexican set to face Dmitry Bivol on May 7. However, Canelo refuted any such claim, and urged not to speak “lies.”
Matchroom Boxing or PBC – What’s more exciting for Canelo Alvarez?
While the price bracket on both the deals crosses the $100 million mark, it still remains to be seen what path Alvarez would take. Boxing fans have been eagerly waiting for the trilogy bout between Canelo and Golovkin, with the Kazakhstani boxer showing his excitement about a third bout. Recently, Golovkin claimed that he won against Alvarez when they fought in 207 and 2018, and called fans delusional for believing the Mexican won.
There’s a rivalry and a certain amount of bad blood between the two. Who do you think Canelo Alvarez should seal the deal with? – Matchroom Boxing or PBC?
