Edgar Berlanga is bitter because his fight with Jonathan González-Ortiz (20-0-1, 16 kos) will be the chest instead of the main event this Saturday, March 15 at the Caribbean Royale in Orlando, Florida.
The event will be shown Live in Dazn. Instead of being the headline, Berlanga’s farewell fight with Matchroom is on the Austin Williams vs. billboard. Patrice Volny.
Berlanga (22-1, 17 kos) says that he was supposed to head on March 8 in Puerto Rico, but the promoter Eddie Hearn continued to send him contracts that he did not like, including one that involved him extending it with the house of houses.
Berlanga didn’t want to do that because he believed there would be a great demand for him as a free agent. He wants “Get the bag.” According to Hearn, Berlanga wanted to take an easy fight after his defeat against the super medium champion Canelo Álvarez last September. I wanted to be in a main event in a non -main fight.
Berlanga obtained a massive payment day against Canelo, it is rumored that they are $ 10 million, which shows that Hearn gave him. It could be said that he had not defeated anyone first level to get that fight, and was not interested in fighting the former medium -sized weight of the AMB, David Morrell, when it was the mandatory of his belt.

Free agency plans
“This free agency tour will be like Kobe, LeBron, Carmelo Anthony and Michael Jordan,” said Edgar Berlanga to THABOXINGVOICE On the demand he expects for his services after his contract with Matchroom ends with his fight this Saturday against Jonathan González-Ortiz.
It is doubtful that there is a great demand for Berlanga services once the free agency market reaches, as he believes. You never know. If Tko Boxeo of Turki Alalshikh and Dana White wants to sign Berlanga for a lot of money, he would be happy. However, Berlanga would need to be protected to prosper the way he has been carefully guided with the party room and the best range. Turki and Dana could not put Berlanga with the best and wait for him to do well. I would probably lose repeatedly. Dana said that the fighters who are with them will lose. Then, maybe it doesn’t matter if Berlanga is beaten again and again.
“Do you think I want to sit here (with the match room) and fight this type of fights? If I were a free agent, I would be fighting in a Mega fight at this time, ”Berlanga continued. “It would have been Munguia, Caleb (plant) or (Jermall) Charlo. I am pointing to the best dogs. “
Jermall Charlo, 34, has not fought in two years, and he is not the type that would be sold on a poster with PPV against Berlanga. It would be required that the elderly are interested in buying the event to do well, because they have been too inactive.
“I was scheduled to fight on March 8 in Puerto Rico in the main event. Eddie Hearn and his team continued to send contracts that we didn’t like, and wanted to extend. We didn’t want to make an extension. I wanted to make one and finish and make a farewell fight with them and do it in Puerto Rico. They did not agree with us, ”said Berlanga.
Note: It was rumored that the opponent that Berlanga wanted to fight for the Puerto Rico show was a 39 -year -old officer Pink Gabe (26-17-1, 15 ko), which has gone 0-4 in its last four fights and has not won since 2021. Obviously, that would be a bad farewell fight for the Hearn and Dazn match room to show in the main event in one of its cards. They want to provide value to fans, and Berlanga vs. Pink would be pure poison.
Superstar state?
“I don’t want to fight in the main event, but it is a sacrifice for me just to be a free agent after this so that I can make my own movements and do what I want to do. I am at that level now where I am a superstar now. I am a high caliber fight and I sell tickets and I am a fighter who must be seen on television.
Berlanga is not a superstar. It is popular in parts of New York and in Puerto Rico. As for the rest of the USA, it is just a fighter made of its promoters, matched against tomato cans to establish it with a cash fight against Canelo Álvarez. He has done it, he is showing his gratitude by wanting to leave Matchroom, believing that things will be better for him elsewhere.
“There are large, large and large fights in 168 that I want to do. I feel that if I am alone and I can go with a television network, because television networks are the ones that are bosses, “said Berlanga.” Television networks are those that repair the money, and then the promoters distributed the money for the combatants.
“Then, any promoter with whom he decides to go to promote a great Mega fight and any television network that we put in our hand, we make a great money fight so that we can both eat and make history. That goes to Jaime Munguia, Caleb Plant, Jermall Charlo. It’s about money movements now. It’s about earning a lot of money for me and the other man on the other side of the ring. “
Whoever Berlanga firm, would have to agree that they hit him when he fights against good opposition, but he has not shown talent so that he is doing well against any of the main super medium weights. His best victories in his career are Padraig McCrory, Jason Quigley, Steve Rolls, Roamer Alexis Anguilo and Marcelo refers.
“You have me. I am about to turn 28. You have Munguia, he is 28 years old. You have Caleb plant. He is 30 years old. Charlo is about 30 years old. These guys want to make a legacy, history and make the bag. Then, when they retire, they have their family, their children and can eat well, ”said Berlanga.
