"No, nothing is true. I don't know where you got that. Never, never, never," Alvarez said. "Not that I know, and I know everything. He offered that amount, he say? That amount, I can make with anybody. That has nothing.
"[Benavidez] brings nothing to the table for me. He brings just 25 pounds more on that night. That's it. It's not him because he has nothing to offer me, anything. I'm the one. But if one promoter who I work with comes and offers me $150 million to $200 million, I'll fight tomorrow. That's the only reason I would fight with him because the only thing he brings to the table is 25 pounds."
The 25 pounds was a reference to the amount of weight that Benavidez, a 27-year-old native of Phoenix, rehydrated to one day after making the 168-pound limit for his November TKO win over undefeated, former two-division champion Demetrius Andrade.
So the 25lbs Berlanga rehydrated was no problem and no one knows Berlanga and he's only recently been ranked at the bottom of the top 10 at 168 but Clenelo wasted no time. Is this the most shameful duck of the 2020s so far?
