The Canelo Alvarez and Jake Paul saga continues to heat up.
Alvarez and Paul were reportedly within the late stages of planning a boxing fight to happen May 3 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Nevertheless, Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority chairman Turki Alalshikh got a hold of Alvarez, landing a four-fight take care of the boxing superstar.
The late shift sparked backlash from Paul and his Most Priceless Promotions team, claiming Alvarez ducked the fight. Paul labeled him an “owned slave.”
Alvarez sent a video message to his fans, telling them to disregard Paul.
“Hey guys, don’t concentrate at anything from this f*cking Youtuber,” Alvarez said in a video posted to social media by Ring Magazine. “I just fight real fighters. No f*cking around with Canelo. Come on, let’s go.”
Moments after, Paul posted a video reply of his own, addressing all the situation surrounding the proposed fight while ripping Alvarez’s business decisions and questioning his loyalty. Within the video, Paul included photos of a signed contract and a fight poster that was to be released next week together with an official announcement.
“Oh, Canelo, you puta. Time to show him,” Paul said in a video posted to Instagram. “So, we had a signed contract to fight. Here, you possibly can see Canelo’s signature and my signature to the best. Claiming he’s not fighting Youtubers? Bullsh*t. Take a look at the poster. We were announcing Tuesday, Feb. 11. Claiming he fights real fighters, but he fighting Crawford, a 135-pound fighter, and running from an actual fighter like David Benavidez, you b*tch.
“The reality is, you possibly can be bought. You’re a money-hungry squirrel chasing your next nut. The reality is, the sportswashing shady characters are paying you tons of of tens of millions of dollars to stop our fight from happening because they couldn’t fathom the proven fact that they will’t create an even bigger fight than me and also you. Al Haymon has made you tons of of tens of millions of dollars, and also you turned your back on him for this check. Disloyal. And also you were begging to do that fight on pay-per-view, but I actually have loyalty. Loyalty to Netflix, doing the largest numbers. You call me a Youtuber, but you’ve never had a boxing match as big as mine.”
Paul continued:
“Remember you told my team that your daughter got here home and asked when you were fighting Jake Paul? She was all excited. You said that was the primary time your daughter’s ever asked you a couple of fight. You’re screwing over all of your Mexican fans by doing all of your fights in Saudi. It just shows what sort of person you might be. And I promise you one thing Canelo: any fight that you just do that 12 months, mine can be larger. So, go f*ck off to your boss, you Ring Magazine worker. You pink and orange b*tch. And oh, fix that herpe in your lip you dirty puta.”
