If you remember, at the time UFC 268, Dana WhiteSitting in the front row of Madison Square Garden Canelo Alvarez’s fight against Caleb Plant was caught watching on a monitor While their own program is underway. He bet $100,000. After, during UFC 274 (in Phoenix), the boss of the popular MMA promotion, admits he stopped even focusing on his ‘business’ to develop the fight between. Canelo and BivolIt actually got very interesting. What White has achieved so far – perhaps to hide it – is that his main fight will always begin when he is equal to the Jalisco champion.
Canelo posted the moment above.
Once again, the Canelo fight will coincide with a main UFC event, but This case is unique for several reasons.. To begin with, it’s context Both parties are equal in Las Vegas and offer truly amazing cards.

According to Dana White, UFC Night (UFC 306)This will happen in the future stage the sphereIt will be the biggest event in the history of sports,” he said.
Nobody cares about watching the UFC if Canelo fights on the same night
It should be noted that An Alvarez fight has already taken place eight times, matching the number of UFC events, but only once have they shared a date and city. No ‘conflict’ as the Mexican faces Golovkin for the third time, but the world’s most famous MMA company offers a ‘harmless’ UFC fight night: Sandhagen vs. the song However, the boxing star made it very clear to the public what he wanted: “Maybe another boxer is worried about this (sharing the night with the UFC), but I am Canelo. When Canelo fights, people know he’s different. “Nobody cares about watching the UFC if Canelo fights on the same night.”

PPV Battle
It really matters which event dominates the PPV A litmus test for O’MalleyAnd yet there are no names of the company’s new batch of champions who spearheaded the massive acquisitions. Usman and AdesanyaBoth are now defunct, the last banners of the organization run by Dana White, who entered several successful UFC events. For his part, Canelo, although he promised good numbers, how he fell to 520,000 buys in his last fight against Mungia. After the 650,000 he got in the clash with Charlo, not to mention the 1,300,000 against Golovkin (I). His record against Mayweather is 2,200,000.

Canelo’s downside is that Berlanga, his opponent in the ring, while undefeated, is no sell on his own. Thanks to his ‘trash talking’ and arrogant attitude on the day of the evening presentation, his popularity increased and added something else. However, the Puerto Rican-born American doesn’t consider himself a great boxing asset based on what he said about joining the UFC, which he paid tribute to: “If I were in Canelo’s place, I would personally say: ‘We’re going to move this date forward, we’re going to move it forward two more weeks and give the UFC its shine; they’re making history that day and we’re making history, but we’re going to move it forward two weeks.'”
I brought the fight up two weeks and gave the UFC its shine
However, Canelo can be proud of the status he holds in the world of combat sports, and the proof is there Media is interested in defeating him Weekend of September 14th. Sheikh Excellency Turki Alalsikh, who has revitalized the world of boxing, paid no expense spared for the UFC’s big party at The Sphere.And his message to Alvarez was clear: “we eat”.
The Mexican has attracted the most sporting and commercial interest in recent years, although he is yet to work with Saudi Arabia’s new promotion. He requested $200 million to fight David Benavidez. Chances are they understand each other today for a future Crawford vs. Canelo, a fight promoted by Alalshikh himself.
