Canelo Alvarez’s Ultimatum: It’s Jermall Charlo Or Bust
By - 02/25/2024

Canelo Alvarez reportedly won’t fight in May unless he gets his wish to fight Jermall Charlo. It’s Charlo or nothing for the superstar Canelo (60-2-2, 39 KOs) on May 4th, which sets up a situation where PBC must decide to go with that fight on that date or cast Alvarez adrift.

This leaves PBC in a tough spot where they either abide by what King Canelo says, or they will have a big hole in their schedule for May 4th, leaving them in a position where they can’t fill it.

Even if PBC plugged the David Benavidez vs. Oleksandr Gvozyk light heavyweight clash on the May 4th date, it won’t replace having Canelo there fighting Jermall Charlo. Benavidez is not a PPV attraction.

Mexican Journalist Breaks the News

According to the well-respected Mexican journalist Fernando Schwartz, Canelo is letting Al Haymon and PBC know that if he doesn’t get the fight against Jermall (33-0, 22 KOs) in May, he won’t be fighting. That would be a disappointment for PBC, as they would be losing the superstar Canelo for PPV on May 4th.

“CANELO DOES NOT ACCEPT ANOTHER: Canelo threatened Al Haymon and #PBC; otherwise, Charlo will not fight. This is what Canelo said, and I quote: Well if it’s not Jermall, there’s no fight in May,” said Fernando Schwartz on .

PBC’s Preference for Munguia

ESPN Knockout last week that PBC wants Canelo to face Mexican Jaime Munguia on May 4th but not Jermall. They view the Munguia as having a better chance of making money than a fight between Canelo and Jermall.

Canelo-Munguia would likely do better commercial numbers than a fight involving Jermall, but Canelo has put his foot down and wants Charlo. He doesn’t want Munguia, and he probably has good reasons for not wanting that match. This writer can think of three reasons why Canelo wouldn’t want to fight Munguia.

1. Munguia’s resume is 100% inflated: He hasn’t earned the fight.
2. Alvarez not wanting a Mexican opponent on Cinco de Mayo
3. Unfinished business with Jermall

If Canelo were to insist on fighting Jermall, which appears to be what he’s doing, “he can look for other options outside of PBC,” according to Salvador Rodriguez of ESPN.



Dear Al Haymon,

CUT HIM LOOSE!

What's the hard on for Charlo! Nobody wants this fight. Becoming more and more like a swerve.

When even Al Haymon doesn't want the fight, then you know what time it is! It's and enough, he's ducking Benavidez, but I can't understand why he won't fight Munguia?

He can always fight on Munguia on DAZN though. The point of being at PBC is to fight only their stable. Jermall is a basket-case, Crawford is too small, Morrell's risk-reward ratio is horrible, etc. Benavidez is the only realistic option that PBC has, and if Canelo is hellbent on delaying it, then PBC has nothing to offer him. It seems like Canelo is trying to hold PBC to an original agreement, and doesn't want to be flexible in his demands. They need to just part ways for now.

Benavidez stops jermall or gives him a brutal beating. I give Jermall 0 chance of winning that fight

[Drigo]

This Benavidez knew only how to bully small fighters. Common weigh bully, go up and fight ligh heavy champs. or at oeast fight Morrel. Let see of you can be the same.

[garfios]

No one wants to say who Benny's best W is.....as if they're too ashamed to answer .

If you say who is the best win canelo has, I'll tell you what I think benavidez is.
ps. Please leave out ancient warriors, we all know why they fight him.

I don't understand why he can't fight Munguia on Amazon Prime PPV? That's what PBC is asking him to do? What PBC told him is that they do NOT want to pay him $35 Million to fight Jermall Charlo! Let's be real, PBC brought Canelo onboard to fight Benavidez! Canelo does NOT want smoke, so this is the best thing for them to do, go their separate ways!!!

PBC has no leverage, and Canelo is taking advantage. If Canelo didn't sign a contract that has Benavidez's name on it, then can PBC actually hold him to fighting David? I'm not even sure Canelo would sign something like that...because that was partially the reason why he and GBP fell out: Canelo supposedly told GBP not to guarantee DAZN a GGG trilogy fight, but they did so anyway.

Boxers should not be expected to be altruistic or loyal, and cash-cows even less so. Canelo doesn't owe PBC anything, so I think he's fxcking with them because he can. Even-though Canelo and DLH are not on the greatest of terms, I bet DLH is enjoying this situation. Schaefer drained GBP's stable for Haymon which would later form the building blocks for PBC......and now Canelo, a former GBP fighter, is causing PBC grief for trying to match him with Munguia, a current GBP fighter. Karma.

Jermall isn't in the right head space right now to take a major fight at 168. Morrell would put him in the hospital. Benavidez probably beats him up like Andrade in a shoe box ring. .
