Canelo Alvarez fighting Johnny from Walmart would still earn $40,000,000, says unified welterw
Unified welterweight champion Errol Spence recently spoke on Mexican boxer Canelo Alvarez. On the debate of ‘the face of boxing,’ ‘The Truth’s opinion stands still. According to the fighter, it’s none other than Alvarez. On the ‘Million Dollaz Worth of Game’ podcast, Spence gave his opinion on his list of best boxers of all time.
On the episode, the hosts asked Errol Spence his own ‘Top five boxers today.’ At first, ‘The Truth’ was taken aback. “Top five today. Damn, put me on the spot with that one.” Then, the American fighter gave his pick. “I’ll put Canelo in number one,” said Spence. Then, the fighter went on to give his reasons why he chose the Mexican fighter among the others. He revealed that money fights and PPVs are the real reason for his pick.
“For me, It’s all about how much you make. He’s a cash cow,” said Errol Spence. Then, he joked about Canelo Alvarez’s PPV-selling ability which cracked up the hosts. “He can fight Johnny from Walmart and make thirty-forty million dollars,” joked ‘The Truth.’ “It’s nuts. So, I put him right there with how much he makes,” ended Errol. The fighter went on to name fighters like Oleksandr Usyk and Gervonta Davis to be the best boxers today on the podcast.
Canelo Alvarez’s legacy is unmatched. Starting his career at a young age, ‘The Brit Basher‘ won multiple world championship belts across several divisions. His fights tend to draw a large crowd due to his dedicated Mexican fanbase. So, it is no surprise that Errol Spence favored the fighter as the best boxer today.
