Canelo vs. Yildirim Purse Bid Given Final 15-Day Extension
By Jake Donovan
Published On Tue Oct 6, 2020, 02:18 PM EST
Another two weeks have been granted for Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Avni Yildirim to further discuss their long-ago ordered title fight.
The World Boxing Council (WBC) announced on Tuesday that a second scheduled purse bid hearing has been delayed, on a day when the situation was expected to reach resolution.
“Understanding the current situation of WBC Franchise champion, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, The WBC in good faith extends 15 days and for a final time the purse offer ceremony for the Alvarez vs Yildirim fight, for the vacant WBC Super Middleweight title,” declared the sanctioning body via statement.
Guadalajara’s Alvarez (53-1-2, 36KOs) and Istanbul’s Yildirim (21-2, 12KOs) were expected to see their ordered vacant super middleweight title fight up for bid via Zoom conference call on Tuesday. Instead, the same courtesy was granted as was the case on September 21, essentially with the same exact ruling handed down on that date as well.
The fight was first ordered on August 18, immediately following a judgement from the WBC Board of Governors in near-unanimous fashion to approve a request for Alvarez to fight for its 168-pound title. The order came four days after unbeaten David Benavidez (23-0, 20KOs) was stripped of the belt for a second time, on this occasion for blowing weight ahead of his eventual 10th round knockout of Alexis Angulo on August 15 in Uncasville, Connecticut.
Benavidez began his first title reign in September 2017 with a tightly contested points win over Ronald Gavril. Their rematch five months later proved far more dominant for the unbeaten Benavidez, who was stripped of the belt in September 2018 after testing positive for cocaine during random drug testing through the WBC’s Clean Boxing Program.
Once year later came the start of Benavidez’s second reign, scoring a 9th round injury stoppage of Anthony Dirrell last September. The bout took place with the understanding that the winner would be mandated to next face Yildirim, who suffered a controversial technical decision defeat to Dirrell last February.
Plans for a Benavidez-Yildirim clash were stalled earlier this year due to Yildirim suffering an injury, thus delaying his second shot at the title. Benavidez was granted a voluntary defense, with his bout versus Angulo originally scheduled to take place this past April in his Phoenix hometown. The event was postponed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, rescheduled for August but with Benavidez coming in more than three pounds heavy for the occasion and thus leaving his title at the scale.
Along came Alvarez—who last June was awarded “WBC Franchise” champion status—to jump in and inquire about filling the sudden vacancy. Complicating matters, however, is the Mexican icon’s current status with estranged promoter Oscar de la Hoya and Golden Boy Promotions.
Alvarez filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against de la Hoya, Golden Boy and sports streaming service DAZN in early September. The original case was dismissed by the federal court in which it was submitted, with room to amend. Alvarez’s legal team made the necessary legal adjustments but filed a new case in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles on September 29.
Alvarez is claiming damages of at least $280 million—the remaining amount of the existing contract between Golden Boy Promotions and DAZN-USA for his in-ring services as part of an 11-fight, $365 million pact signed in October 2018. The terms of the case currently complicate any plans for the global superstar to appear in the ring, although included among his legal team’s actions—both in the lawsuit and in a separate letter submitted to DAZN—is an avenue to allow Alvarez to fight external to the terms of his current contract.
All told, the situation is a giant mess for all parties involved and undoubtedly placing a strain on this ordered title fight, which was never particularly appealing to potential buyers even without the legal ramifications.
Nevertheless, the WBC is clearly willing to wait it out. An additional 15 days would place a new purse bid hearing on October 21, although the matter appears to be open-ended at the moment.
“The WBC will inquire the definite status in this period and in order to make a final determination and ruling on the division,” noted the sanctioning body.

Why they keep extending it?
Isn't a purse bid is like a no limit, free-market competition where fighters' existing contracts with networks are not effective? Otherwise, how could anyone win the bid?
So if that's true why they don't just bid for the fight. PBC, TR or whatever, they are not sued by Canelo
