“Canelo does not give AF*”: Mikey García says that Álvarez to build a company of $ 400 million “,” prioritizing easy fights and large days of payment on the demands of fans

Mikey García says that Canelo Álvarez is just a “businessman” at this time in his career, fighting just for money without worrying about what fans think he takes easy fights. Garcia says that Canelo (62-2-2, 39 kos) is like a “company” Now, after having made a colossal fortune and stay to do $ 400 million.

Mikey says that Canelo is only taking “low risk and high reward” fights to “collect the money”, and he doesn’t blame it.

Ignoring fans’ demands

The Mexican superstar is creating a dynasty With the dough he is obtaining for his fights and has not faced a hard opponent since his defeat against Dmitry Bivol on May 7, 2022. The last five fights of Álvarez have been easy, and fans believe he is on his retirement tour, just staying for money. Obviously he is no longer listening to fans, since he has diverted David Benavász and David Morrell.

Canelo’s fortune is estimated at $ 250 million now, and it is expected that this figure triggers his next three fights against IBF’s medium -sized champion of IBF William Scull on May 3, Terence Crawford, on September 13, and possibly Dmitry Bivol, Chris Eubank Jr, Conor Benn or Hamzah Sheeraz in the first half of 2026.

The scull selection

“I don’t know if fans know this guy, but I also know that Canelo does not give AF ***,” Mikey García told YSM sports media On the indisputable super medium -sized clash of Canelo Álvarez against the little known IBF champion of 168 pounds William Sculll on May 3 in Riad, Saud Arabia.

Casual boxing fans do not know who William Scull Cuban is, but that doesn’t matter. Canelo needs its super medium -sized weight title so that you can enter its clash against Terence Crawford as the undisputed champion in September. Everything is superficial marketing material for image purposes to generate interest among hardcore boxing fans that care that Crawford has the opportunity to become an undisputed champion of three divisions.

Casual fans will not care that it is for the undisputed because they do not know who 38 -year -old fans are. He is not an enormously popular fighter due to his opposition style, inactivity (fights once a year) and the non -existent presence of social networks.

Fans prefer that Canelo fights with Benavidez, Morrell or Diego Pacheco on May 3 instead of Scull. It won’t do that because those would be difficult fights that I could lose. In addition, you need to be indisputable again To create artificial interest In his fight with Crawford. I would not need that if Crawford moved to the super medium weight and beat two or three of the best combatants of the division. That will not happen because Crawford is not physically capable of overcoming combatants such as Benavidez, Morrell or Pacheco. It is too old, weak, small and inactive to overcome those guys. He barely beat 154 pounds Israilvo in his last fight.

“Canelo is there to fight this guy, become champion again, collect that belt (IBF) once again, become unquestionable again and pick up a great payment check,” Mikey said. “Then his new fights will be the same. He is collecting a great payment check for any fight to do.”

It is a pity that boxing is not executed as a real sport where combatants like Canelo would be forced to the fight better in their division, and the weight jump was not allowed. Canelo would probably have lost to Benavidez, Morrell and other contestants. His career would have ended years ago. Crawford would not be allowed to upload two divisions to immediately challenge the titles in Super Middleweight without obtaining the opportunity for the title defeating the contestants to the main ones.

García’s “businessman”

“Canelo does not give AF *** about what we think or what we say about who fights,” Mikey said. “His goals are no longer in boxing achievements. He has already done so. He has been champion in four divisions. He has been indisputable. He has been at the top of the game.

“For him now, he is only there to collect all the money he can. He could have moved away a year or two ago, but why does he there are 2, 3 $ 400 million at the table? He will not get away from that. He will stay, collect the money and take the type of fights he needs to take that type of money. Low and low fighting fights, what he is doing.

“I can’t blame him. He is now more a businessman than a fighter,” Mikey continued on Canelo. “He wants to become a great brand, a great name, like a company or something. He knows that now there is so much opportunity to earn money in boxing. Why would he leave? He doesn’t care,” Mikey said that Álvarez is focused on money now.
