Berlanga Confidently Predicts 1 Million PPV Buys, Hinting At Canelo Fight In September

Edgar Berlanga predicts his next fight will hit 1 million PPV buys, hinting that he believes he might be chosen for Canelo Alvarez to fight in September.

The unbeaten #1 ranked WBA mandatory 168-lb contender Berlanga (22-0, 17 KOs) passed up a possibility to challenge David Morrell Jr. for his title, hoping that he’ll get chosen by Canelo and he might get his wish.

“My first PPV fight will crack 1 million pay-per-view buys,” said Edgar Berlanga on X, predicting massive success for his next fight.

Berlanga’s Popularity

Not enough Latest Yorkers are serious about watching Berlanga fight Canelo to herald 1 million PPV buys. Berlanga is simply popular in sections of Latest York state. His popularity is narrowed to parts of the town, and he’s a no-name in the remaining of the U.S.

Canelo-Berlanga would usher in PPV buys from fans wanting to see Berlanga get exposed as a fake by Canelo, and it might be one in every of those fights where people would watch simply to see Edgar lose. Fans would heavily ridicule the much, however the casuals may not care.

They simply need to see Canelo fight, and they carry out anyone from the road, they usually’d happily order the match on PPV.

It could invite much criticism if Canelo chooses the Eddie Hearn-promoted Berlanga as his next opponent because he’s viewed for example of a fighter well-maneuvered by promoters to create a fake, manufactured contender that has no substance.

Canelo’s Options for September

Undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo (61-2-2, 39 KOs) has two options for his next fight: Berlanga and Chris Eubank Jr.

The one appeal for Canelo in fighting the 34-year-old Eubank Jr. (33-3, 24 KOs) is fighting in England, but that doesn’t seem realistic for September, provided that Anthony Joshua is already scheduled to fight on the twenty first of that month. It’s not a very good idea to schedule one other fight near that date in that country.

Eubank Jr. is useless to Canelo to fight within the U.S. because American fans don’t know who he’s, and those that do view him as a non-achieving, flawed fighter who has no probability of being competitive against Alvarez.

If Canelo desires to receive less criticism from the fans, he should ignore Berlanga and Eubank Jr. and concentrate on fighting one in every of these fighters in September:

– Christian Mbilli
– Diego Pacheco
– Hamzah Sheeraz
– David Benavidez

The largest problem Canelo has is that the super middleweight division lacks popular fighters. There’s only Benavidez, and he’s not a 168-pounder. He’s a man who melts down from 175 to beat smaller opposition. That’s obviously why Canelo has been reluctant to fight him: He’s not a real super middleweight.
