By Frank Bay: David Benavidez has reached the main current. If David has done nothing boxing, having celebrated the old washing fighters (Anthony Dirrel and Demetrius Andrade) or the remains of Canelo Alvare (Caleb plant), at least the algorithm has touched. People know that “the Mexican monster” is already out of boxing.
It was officially given the stamp of approval by the self -proclaimed “Face of Boxing” youtuber/boxer Pro Jake Paul. Benavidez was recently invited to a podcast by Jake Paul, where they both discussed their problems with Alvarez. This means that although David may not have won the prizes or money that Canelo has, he has something more important. Coult!
The North -American vocabulary has produced a jargon called “Clout”. It is used to indicate the status or score of social approval of a person. If it were a presidential race, you could say that David would be at the ballot box and that Canelo would be far behind. Benavidez has been campaigning hard, and finally won the masses, maybe not inside the ring, but a quick look on social media and it is clear that David is at the top of social opinion. Being a friend of Jake Paul shows it, or not?
Jake Paul is bitter in Canelo as he says he gave up what he claims was a agreement made to fight in the summer of 2025. Jake has just been salty, crying that Canelo is only hungry for money and he does not mind boxing because he broke his appointment with him.
Choosing a better date took place and threw $ 100 million on the lap. How do you dare to Canelo! And as Dare to Turki Alralhikh at the height of his circus struggle. It’s a bit ironic if you wonder. However, David and Paul simply sounded like two bitter women gossiping like a circle of sewing on the man who planted them for a larger woman.
I dare any man who read this to seriously argue that they would do anything different from what he did. On the one hand, you have Jake Paul and David Benavidez who pursue a single payment day for less money, or on the other, you can win $ 100 million for Willam Scull and more with Turki Alralikh going further. There is no honest man who does not choose the latter.
Boxing fans know the dreaded marinated word. Yes, some things in life need time to grow and marinate. You need to season and tanning a good wine or a main meat choice. But in sports and, in particular, boxing, is a good strategy, or is it more than a avoidance?
As when a woman tells a man who encounters that they should wait to consume, this can have two effects for a man. It can be the way of the woman to exploit it for more free dinners, and it is given up when he realizes that he has played, and could improve the desire of the man for a woman and do his best to win. Women have perfected this strategy for a tee. Why do you ask? Because it works!
It also works the same way for boxing. I will have an unquestioned opinion and I will say yes, sometimes, big fights are more suitable for marination, and Canelo V Benevidez is no exception. Is it a strategy that can occur? Yes. But, the future reward may be worth the risk, you are committed to the ass.
There is no person who reads this that does not face this scenario every day. But in the boxing, this is frowning, and the fighters are affected by the perceived duck when this strategy is used. We are seeing that Jarron Ennis and Brian Norman deal with this same scenario as I write. Of course, fans would love that Ennis vs Norman struggles at this moment, but the harsh reality is that it is not a real star either.
Of course, money can be decent now, but if each fighter can continue to gain and increase their profile, a future struggle becomes even more valuable. This is an undeniable fact. Boxing story also makes a backup of my opinion. Mayweather vs. Pacquiao took about 6 years to do -Spence vs Crawford took 4 years to do it, and Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin was 2 years old.
In all these cases, fights became larger over time. Any reasonable fan should acknowledge that if, for example, Spence vs Crawford became his childhood, he would not have done well at the box office. The constant setback with the fans and the media created the storm of fire, which ensured its commercial success.
And for each successful marination process, there can also be a setback. We see it now with Fury vs. Joshua, Joshua vs. Wilder, Tank Davis vs. Lomachenko and many others. A fighter could lose during the marination process, but again, the risk is still worth a reward. Specific case: Fury vs. Joshua.
This struggle is not once, but it will still be a mass commercial success. Fans will complain that they want fights during their first. I will argue that no matter. Mayweather and Pacquiao were not in their first when they finally struggled, but people still wanted to see -after all the waiting years.
People will still want to see Tank Davis vs. Lomachenko and Wilder Vs. Joshua. To demonstrate more what the boxing fan are like, they still wanted to see the rumorous Mayweather vs Pacquaio 2, even if it were just an exhibition.
The truth is that if Benavidez V Alvarez had even spent only two years ago, he would not have been a mega event. He quickly advances two years, and David has raised his profile and is running. Even with the commercial numbers of Alvarez slipping and showing a body wear, his star power would grow to unprecedented heights if and when he fights against David Benavidez. All this is part of the process.
Fear is what if Alvarez or David lost a struggle in the middle? I am here to say -you still would be a struggle that fans want to see and are still a major commercial success. Pacquiao lost on the way to Mayweather.
Floyd went to jail and the struggle became larger. The bright side is if David continues to gain great fights, the struggle only grows to unimaginable commercial success. If Benevidez was able to fight Bivol and defeated the Canelo Conqueror, then a struggle between him and Alvarez grows exponentially. The reality is that this struggle is marinating.
In a case of perceived favoritism, Bud Crawford has, I’m not sure of what you call it, maybe he won or maybe the king was shot. That is why it has been said that it is not what you know, it is who you know. And Crawford has been adopted somehow by Money Man Turki Alralikh as his favorite son. But we compare a little Crawford and Benevidez.
Benavidez is a better fighter than Crawford? You should say, in fact, Crawford has done more in the sport than Benavidez. For most critics, it possibly delivers 4 pounds #1. What happens with a purely technical boxing appearance? I am sure that most would consider Crawford to have more skills than Benavidez, with a boxing style.
What happens to opponents? Consensus should be based exclusively on techniques. Crawford has faced the best opposition. Crawford has a P4P fighter in his resume, while Benavidez has no.
Crawford cleaned his divisions for the weak, though weak, and Canelo was correct, because until David beat the leftover floor of Canelo, he had done nothing. Before the plant, it had no recognizable names in its curriculum. It is noteworthy that he beat Pinky and Ronald for these titles. Edge Crawford.
Since boxing is also a business, we look at the commercial call. I will say that Crawford and Benavidez can be approximately at the same level as far as the following and achieved. Both are dwarves in this department, even Ryan Garcia, much less trying to compete with Canelo Alvarez.
Crawford and Benavidez are known in the boxing world, but outside it, in the main society, it is difficult to say if your North -American will recognize a man walking on the street. What about sales and ticket visits? Based on Crawford’s solitary PPV success against Errol Spence, Crawford wins this department. Why? Because Benavidez has been throwing at the box office.
If Crawford is not a guaranteed ticket salesman or a PPV success because, apart from his successful Spence struggle, most of his commercial fights failed, Benavidez could also fight his garage on YouTube. The only clear case why Benavidez deserves a firing in Canelo over Crawford is the problem of weight.
Specifically, fans argue that Canelo should not fight a half weight in Crawford that moves, while Benavidez is in his own division. Well, this argument was launched when Benavidez decided to leave the division of his nemesis. Say what you will do, but this movement allowed Crawford to jump the line because David left the line.
Now for the final comparison: money. What makes more money? A PPV of Canelo vs. Crawford or a PPV of Canelo vs Benavidez? It is difficult to make a convincing argument that a struggle of Benavidez vs. Alvarez is better at the box office than Crawford vs. Alvarez. Logistically speaking, observing past data, a PPV of Canelo vs Crawford will be more successful at the moment. From numbers only, when Crawford and Benevidez compare, Crawford has at least one PPV successful commercial.
From the tests, Canelo should be a fool to reject the amount of money Turki Alralikh will launch him to face Crawford. In addition, with endless Turki Alralikh funds that help promote the fight against Canelo vs Crawford, it has a much greater chance of being a commercial success than a struggle between Alvarez and Benavidez.
Finally, for Canelo, Batre Crawford will add another free pound fighter, who is also a future hall of family in his resume, only increasing his legacy. The truth is that Benavidez has a way to follow to achieve this state. Baptizing bivol would be a start.
