Pick the one that suits your requirements and needs. If Canelo wants to ignore the fans, he’ll pick Saunders rather than Golovkin. By Brad Slotnick: Eddie Hearn wants to match Canelo Alvarez against Billy Joe Saunders or Gennadiy Golovkin in May 2021 if he wins his December 19th fight against Callum Smith. Alvarez has stated he wants three or even four fights in total this year, so what's next? Per Celebrity Net Worth, Canelo Alvarez’s total net worth goes up to a whopping $140 million. But from Alvarez’s end, would it be worth it? It was the Mexican's third fight in just five months, after decisioning Callum Smith in December to kick off his 168lbs title haul before easily beating Avni Yildirim in a mandatory defence two months later. There’s a good chance Golovkin will come out of that fight victorious and still holding onto his IBF title. He was just 23 at the time and suggested a bit more experience would have come in handy and has subsequently claimed it was an honour to fight the legendary Mayweather. And it likely would be one of the biggest pay-per-view draws of all time.
Guarantees, filed with local athletic commissions, often go public, so we know Usman grossed at least $500,000 for his first fight with Covington in 2019. But headliners like Usman receive a cut of pay-per-view sales, and, like other fighters on the card, earn extra pay for wins, dominating performances and spectacular finishes. You know my mentality. But Smith is also fairly limited for a top level guy, and he does still have a bit of value not only as a titlist, but as the guy who retired Bernard Hopkins, even if that was nearly five years ago now. On average, it takes about one to five sheep per acre to keep plant growth trimmed. While some blamed Plant when the deal appeared to fall apart, he had accepted the terms. After tough negotiations where things almost fell apart, they did meet a second time in Sept. Parker, of New Zealand, looked a bit flat his last time out in a decision victory against Junior Fa back in February, and has a lot to prove against the veteran Chisora, who is rarely in a dull fight.
The fight between the two will crown an undisputed champion at 168 pounds, the first time the weight class has had an undisputed champion in the four-belt era. Alvarez defeated Sergey Kovalev in November 2019 to win the WBO championship at 175 pounds, but immediately dropped back to super middleweight to continue his pursuit of all four belts in the 168-pound division. Plant (21-0, 12 KO) has emerged as a rising star in recent years, winning his IBF championship in January 2019 against Jose Uzcategui. You can argue the Canelo-Smith matchup any number of ways - some of those arguments see Canelo winning handily against an opponent who should have lost to John Ryder 13 months ago in Liverpool, and some see the 6’3” Smith as a potential style nightmare for the 5’8” Alvarez. Alvarez (56-1-2, 38 KO) is riding a seven-fight winning streak since a September 2017 draw with Gennady Golovkin. Little by little, Alvarez seemed more open to the idea of a third Golovkin fight. But, Canelo's win over Saunders welcomed more than 70,000 fans in Arlington, Texas. The win over Plant sold roughly 800,000 buys, with the event the talk of the town leading into and well beyond the history achieved in the ring.
November 11, 2021: It is expected that PPV buy rate for Canelo vs Plant will cross 800,000 at least. Alvarez is set to make $40 million for his bout Saturday night, whereas Usman will likely clear less than 10% of that figure to defend his title. He passed his first major test in January 2021 when he beat Luke Campbell via TKO to win the interim WBC lightweight title. The third title defense of the IBF title was on January 30, 2021. Plant was taking on the former IBF super middleweight titleholder, Caleb Truax. Joselito Velazquez, an Olympic fighter from Mexico, continued his march toward a flyweight title shot. The fight would certainly make more financial sense for Usman, who is paid far, far less than a boxer because of his status in the UFC which greatly regulates fighter pay. It’s a whooping 400 trees per person, so would planting one more per person really make a difference? Canelo fight, it’s a question mark whether that fight gets made.
