Given the little supply on the market with all the interesting rivals in the super middleweight already defeated by Canelo Álvarez, the most dangerous options for him appear in the light heavyweights and, with this panorama, the future is uncertain. In that context, a special fight is planned for Saúl with Jake Paul, who has already given him the go-ahead and in the last few hours received a positive push from an important promoter.

Eddie Hearn, CEO of Matchroom, spoke about one of the fights that is currently gaining momentum to take place in the future and was blunt when stating that there are many possibilities that the Mexican and the American share the ring, as long as a series of conditions are met that satisfy both sides.

Although at first he had been against the idea of ​​watching the fight that Paul had against Mike Tyson, later, when he was consulted, Alvarez left the door open to a duel with the youtuber and now Hearn played his cards. “In my opinion Canelo would take the fight. Why wouldn’t he? I don’t think he would think twice. But unless the amount of money gets out of control, I’m not sure Jake wants to fight him yet, but good luck to him, it depends on him,” Hearn began by saying to iFL TV.

And he added: “They are not idiots and they know that it doesn’t make sense for Jake to fight a decent top 15 guy that he can’t beat or that he can maybe lose to for cheap. So he just has to get the right mix of who the next opponent is going to be and that’s why I’m thinking about the Canelo fight. It seems to me that in the Canelo fight, Jake would accept taking crazy money to fight and if the money is a lot he can’t really turn it down.”

“The thing is that it doesn’t make sense for Jake to fight good fighters that don’t have a huge commercial profile, because what’s the point? You’re going to lose without making a lot of money, so it will be interesting to see what he does next. We have to see if he takes a boxing fight to improve his chances of being competitive when a real boxing fight comes along or if he takes a big commercial fight against a name that’s going to generate huge numbers,” he concluded.

In this context, all the fans who want to see Paul against rivals who can really give him a hard time are excited about the possibility of the celebrity facing one of the best boxers of today like Canelo. In this case, what would have to be agreed upon would be the weight at which they would meet, but that is nothing that a good million-dollar purse for both of them cannot solve…
