Yeah I don’t know how his hardcore fans will defend him once he’s gonna fight Jake Paul and Bud who’s 2 divisions south of him.

It’s embarrassing to all fans of the sport because professional boxing being part entertainment is one thing but the biggest name who’s still a P4P top 10 guy fighting influencers is another thing.

I guess also blame the people who are gullible enough to show interest for these kind of freak shows so it’s “big money” for the participants.
Still, a top athlete should have the integrity to not steep so low. It’s a big “fukk you” to all the actual fans of the sport and to his top challengers who actually fought to earn their shot.
This fight would fit right into the disappointing path Canelo took after the Bivol loss. 0 incentive to achieve further things in the sport, only stays to milk his status for a couple more years before retiring.

Dana White obviously has the names and connections to make a boxing league. His issue is going to be paying top-notch talent for marquee bouts.

Even the mid-level superstars at the box office (Benavidez, Teo type guys) ain't taking peanuts to fight for him. Because there's no way I'm signing with that dude initially with the purses.

My guess is he'll probably get some guys who didn't make it in MMA initially.

That would be the wrong way to go about it imo.

The best approach would be to sign all the young talent and wait for those guys you mentioned to age out.
