And the front running as per reports is Jermall Charlo vs Canelo Alvarez next. All in-house money for PBC again. But obviously there are fans that will not like this fight, as we wanted him to face David Benavidez, but Canelo is clearly ducking him.
The big winner in this is the WBC who gets to keep milking the cash cow Canelo in sanctioning fees, plus now they have Benavidez as interim champion, and Munguia as silver champion. It's not in their interest to force Canelo to fight either of them because they would rather keep extracting fees from multiple champions instead of one. They should at least order Benavidez and Munguia to fight each other. Then Canelo won't be able to say they haven't earned an opportunity.
You are correct, WBC could simply extract fees for the matches of each of these boxers instead of forcing them to compete against one another. WBC is simply business and is no longer putting respect to boxing. World Business Council is the better meaning for WBC.
Perhaps Saudi Arabia can help the dream match of the fans by making the Saul Alvarez and David Benavidez match. Recently, Saudi Arabia has been turning difficult matches into a reality. But perhaps PBC is not willing to participate and is requesting more sums of money very much like Gervonta Davis asking two Ferraris just to allow a discussion of a match with Haney.
