Will Canelo bite on this one? or will he clearly duck Benavidez at this stage because he is focus on a rematch with Bivol at 175 lbs.
Offer might not be big for Canelo though, but I think the Benavidez is chasing him because they know that Canelo is slowly losing a step or two as what we hae seen in the Ryder fight recently.
In this economy, $50M is worth the trouble after all Canelo is not after zero loss, he already have loss and he could even fight Beterbeiv if they just arrange a deal.
The rematch against Bivol is pretty much assured to happen so he can forget it for now and accept a fight as long as thers opportunity. Benavidez is peony to him.
I'm not really sure if the rematch with Bivol is assured though, perhaps there are still the money split and other that needs to be negotiated, although it's a easy negotiation since Bivol is under the same promotional banner with Canelo, Matchroom Boxing.
I do agree that the weight might be an issue or at least they are not in agreement where they should fight. But for me, make at light-heavyweight, no ifs and no buts, but let Canelo go up again in 175 lbs because he has done it before.
