@Baofeng. What fight would make more money, if Munguia fights Canelo or if Charlo fights Canelo?
Depends on the location, if it will be in Mexico, then Munguia vs Canelo might be huge. Or if it is wherein there are a lot of Mexicans like in San Antonio or Munguia's home town of Phoenix, then it will be a lot of money as well.
He will be fighting a Charlo that has been out for almost a 2 years because of mental health, and then a career middle weight fighter.
So it's going to be a hard sell, but then again when he fought Jermell, a 154 lbs it did make good money, 650,000-700,000 pay per view buys. So still Canelo is the cash cow.
I want Saul Alvarez to battle Jermall Charlo because it is a match many fans were expecting when he left Matchroom and transferred to PBC. But Mungia against Alvarez in Mexico or in the southern states close to Mexico can be greater than a Jermall Charlo match.
What's bad about this match up is that Jermall Charlo is not very active.
“No one wants to see Canelo vs. Charlo,” said Smith. “If it’s not Bud [Crawford], it should be Benavidez. Or retire and stop giving fans these bulls*** fights.”
https://www.worldboxingnews.net/2024/02/14/bull-nobody-wants-canelo-vs-jermall-charlo/But how about David Benavidez? He is the boxer in the promotion that was hyped to confront Alvarez. It implies that even PBC cannot choose who Saul "Canelo" Alvarez wants next. Certainly, the advantage of being a cash cow. Perhaps Saudi Arabia can assist in bringing Alvarez and Benavidez into the ring.
He already said that he will not fight another Mexican, so it narrow down to Charlo. PBC hasn't had a tie with the Saudi, so far as far as I know only 3 promotions have taken advantage of the rich oil money in boxing, Top Rank by Bob Arum, Match Room by Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions. And perhaps this is the mistakes not just by PBC, but Oscar as well by not engaging Saudi and saying that it will hurt their boxers fighting in the Middle East.
