BREAKING: Canelo and PBC unable to agree to terms

2/26/2024
After weeks of rumors and speculation, the announcement has finally been made. Canelo Alvarez is leaving his partnership with PBC to go his own way. The platform signed Canelo to a 3-fight deal late last year, the first of which was a lackluster match up between the Mexican star and Jermell Charlo. Now, Canelo has moved on after PBC failed to meet his financial demands. Boxing insider Rick Glaser first broke the story earlier this year, but it wasn't officially announced until now. Why is the American boxing press so spineless and worthless? Michael Montero breaks it all down. https://youtube.com/live/q0hWDVkjCfU
