Hearn in Canelo-Paul: “He is doing it for a sack full of money”

The promoter Eddie Hearn says that Canelo Álvarez will receive a payment day between $ 80 million and $ 120 million for his fight against Jake Paul. Today, it was revealed that the fight will occur on May 3 in Las Vegas.

Hearn is in favor of Canelo (62-2-2, 39 kos) that chooses to take the big day of payment against Jake (11-1, 7 kos). He feels that it is an intelligent movement for the business boxer, who can earn a lot of money in a non -risky fight against the Paul cruise weight.

The PPV potential

It is possible that fans do not like the fight, but the great followers of Paul’s social networks will ensure that it is successful and probably the largest 2025 PPV event. There will be enough cinnamon fans who order the fight to make sure they bring Good numbers.

“I am partial because I like Canelo Álvarez, and I think what he has done in his career is tested everything. His curriculum is incredible, “said Eddie Hearn to Fight Hub TV. “If you want to win $ 100 million to fight Jake Paul. The thing is about Canelo. He doesn’t tell him any lie. It is very transparent.

“He will not try to justify this fight for you. “No, what I am doing is bringing boxing to a broader audience.” No, he is doing it for a sack full of money. So, every time you put an opponent to Canelo Álvarez, his question is: ‘How much?

“He is a businessman at this stage of his career. Someone is offering $ 80 million, $ 100 million, $ 120 million to fight Jake Paul. It is a fight in which there is absolutely no risk. By the way, you can’t criticize Jake Paul because criticism for him is: ‘When are you going to fight someone decent? Well, guess what? You can be fighting Canelo Álvarez. I don’t hate him. I will be looking.

Who pays Canelo and Jake of the type of money that Hearn speaks will risk. If Netflix will pay you, I have the money to increase their subscriber base. With Jake’s tremendous followers on social networks and YouTube, who finances this fight could obtain profits.

I would have to bring many PPV purchases obviously in the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Floyd Event line. Conor McGregor. Canelo-Paul’s vision price would have to be high for the event to prevent the organizers from hemorrhogen money.

“The only respect is money. He (Jake) doesn’t do it for free. He doesn’t go because he wants to prove his worth as a great fighter. He is also doing it for $ 100 million or whatever he is getting, ”said Hearn about Jake Paul. “It’s dangerous, and he will be whipped. However, many Canelo rounds want it to be. ”

The risk

If Canelo is beaten as often as he did in his last fight against Edgar Berlanga, an annoying victory for Jake Paul cannot be ruled out. Berlanga has no ability at all, and he was putting his hands on Álvarez after the Mexican star became extinguished after four rounds.

Jake is at least as talented as Berlanga, but hits stronger and would not fight silly when bombing against the ropes as he did. In addition, Paul would really try to win and not only appear to receive his payment check and participation trophy.

“The only thing is that Jake will be much heavier and bigger, but he will not lack respect for Jake’s ability as a fighter. He is fighting Canelo Álvarez, who is one of the best fighters in the world. He will earn a lot of money while receiving the buttocks, “said Hearn.
