Hearn is in favor of Canelo (62-2-2, 39 CO), choosing to take the big payment day against Jake (11-1, 7 CO). He believes this is an intelligent move for Businessman's boxer, which can make a lot of money in a risk fight against Cruiserweight Paul.

PPV potential

Fans may not like the battle, but Paul's huge social media will guarantee that this is successful and probably the biggest PPV event of 2025. There will be enough of Canelo fans who order the fight to ensure that he further Wears good numbers.

“I'm prejudiced because I like Canelo Alvarez and I think what he did in his career has proven everything. His summary is incredible, “said Eddie Hearn Fight Hub TVS “If you want to earn $ 100 million to fight Jake Paul. The thing is about Canelo. He does not say any lies. He is very transparent.

“He will not try to justify this fight against you. “No, what I do is convey the box to a wider audience.” No, he does it for a sack full of money. So, every time you put an opponent forward to Canelo Alvarez, his question is: “How much?

“He is a businessman at this stage of his career. Someone offers $ 80 million, $ 100 million, $ 120 million to fight Jake Paul. This is a battle in which there is absolutely no risk. By the way, you can't criticize Jake Paul because the criticism of him is: “When will you fight someone decent? Well, guess what? He can fight Canelo Alvarez. I don't hate it. I'll look.

Whoever pays to Canello and Jake to talk about who is heard of money will take some risk. If Netflix is ​​going to pay them, I have money to increase their subscriber base. With Jake's huge studies on social media and YouTube, which funds this match, it can make a profit.

You will need to make many PPV purchases obviously along the lines of the Floyd Mayweather Jr. Against Conor McGregor. The cost of paying Canelo-Paul will have to be high for the event to prevent organizers from baptizing money.

“The only respect is the money. He (Jake) doesn't do it for free. He doesn't go because he wants to prove himself a great fighter. He also does it for $ 100 million or whatever he gets, “Hearn told Jake Paul. “It's dangerous and it will spray. However, many Canelo circles want to be. “

Risk

If Canello is hit as often as he in his last match against Edgar Berlanga, you cannot rule out an upset victory for Jake Paul. Berlanga has no abilities and he put his hands on Alvarez after the Mexican star escaped after four rounds.

Jake is at least as talented as a barn, but he hits more strongly and would not fight stupid, turning to the ropes the way he did it. Moreover, Paul will actually try to win, not just show up to get his salary and trophy to participate.

“The only thing is that Jake will be much more severe and greater, but there is no disrespect for Jake's ability as a fighter. He is fighting Canelo Alvarez, who is one of the best fighters in the world. He will make a lot of money as he receives the clapping, “Hearn said.
