The Berlanga Bidding War: Who will pay for their price?

Edgar Berlanga seemed to be revealing today to finally be a free agent after his four -struggling contract with Matchroom ended last Saturday night. It may be out of contact with reality, thinking that the promoters will want to sign it based on their 23 wins on tomato cans.

Free

The ex-director of the World Title of Super Middleweight Berlanga (23-1, 18 kos) believes that the promoters and networks will be a crazy rush, which will lead him to achieve “this great bag” and make unpleasant riches. Got the struggle of Canelo Alvarez 12 million dollars With Matchroom despite never surpassing any top -notch fighter. Eddie Hearn did a great job for Berlanga and did not have to beat a quality boy to get that money.

He made his money to be popular in the New York area instead of defeating any of the murderers in 168. You can’t call Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz, Jason Quigley or Padraig McCrory Killers. These minor fighters would not last a round against the best contestants such as Diego Pacheco and Osleys Iglesias in Super Middleweight.

Who pays?

Promoter Eddie Hearn wants to continue working with Berlanga and establishing it with a fight against the Caleb plant. However, Turki Alralikh’s new boxing league may be interested in signing Berlanga. Dana White said the fighters in the new league will lose fights as they do at UFC. If Berlanga can even gain weight for fights in 168, he will lose repeatedly if he has coincided with the best fighters in the division.

Therefore, maybe they would be the perfect landing site for Berlanga, which will lose a lot if Dana will practice what preaches on “the best struggle”. However, it will be reduced to money, because Edgar will probably wait for the same kind of mass he got from his struggle with Canelo.

It should be a promoter who is willing to lose money in his fights, because if he gets $ 10 million to fight boys like Jermall Charlo, Caleb Plant or Jaime Munguia, events probably bleed money. These guys are not popular enough to carry PPV purchases against Berlanga, and does not have enough fans in the New York area to get numbers to make a profitable struggle if he gets huge money.

“If you want to call him, you can say he should have returned with something a little better,” Teddy Atlas said to his YouTube channel That Edgar Berlanga should have fought against a better fighter in his comeback struggle instead of Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz.

“He returned, he got rid of this kind, and now he has to fight the best.

Damn I’m really a free agent 😌😌
