Jake Reveals What Canelo Would’ve Lost by Accepting Their Fight

American cruiserweight boxer and YouTuber Jake Paul has claimed that Saul “Canelo” Álvarez, the undisputed super middleweight champion, stood to lose a massive payday had he accepted a fight against him.

“They — Turki Alalshikh’s team — basically told him that if he fought me, he’d lose a $300 million contract. I understand why Canelo chose to secure his family’s financial future.

It shows how desperately they want to squeeze me out of boxing.

If you’re a guy who’s poured billions into the sport and still isn’t putting on the biggest shows — and you see someone like me, who’s invested nothing but creates huge events — you’ll do whatever it takes to stop him. That’s the nature of this dirty boxing business.

I would’ve done 100% better than Scull — no doubt. I would’ve beaten Canelo — he’s done,” said Paul.

Canelo’s next fight is scheduled for the fall, where he’s expected to face two-time undisputed champion Terence Crawford.
