Close friend of Floyd Mayweather and boss of his promotional company Mayweather Promotions Leonard Ellerbee commented on the defeat of the ex-leader P4P rating Mexican Saul Canelo Alvarez (57-2-2, 39 KOs) Russian Dmitry Bivol (20-0, 11 KOs), and also took advantage of the moment to pin up promoter Eddie Hearn (Matchroom Boxing).
No, Canelo won’t beat Bivol in a rematch.
Ellerbee sure. He simply can’t. Styles make fights. Even if Bivol comes down to Canelo weight. No difference. He is bigger and stronger. And he’s not a fool to stay still, he’s always on the move. Yes, Canelo has some tricks, some experience. But Bivol has the advantage in timing, he has a great jab. Again, it’s bigger and stronger. Canelo tried to pin him to the ropes, but you saw what happened next. If you understand boxing, then you know that there are those opponents who will create problems for you.
Ellerbe still sees Canelo as the leader P4P rating, but pokes fun at promoter Hearn: “Yeah, Canelo is #1 in the pound. And he sold 300 thousand PPV in the battle with Bivol. I heard that Hearn claims that he sold twice as much, but this is not true, otherwise he would have been jumping like crazy and would have announced this figure last week. What do I think of Devin Haney? I know this guy because he grew up in our gym. Great fighter, but signed with a promoter who doesn’t know anything about boxing, who blew a billion US dollars (DAZN streaming) but never created even one fucking American star from scratch. Applause to Devin and his father – signed up, scammed dudes for fucking money. Bravo! That’s how it should be done! But this will not work with me, because I know their real market value and will not give more than they are worth.
Very soon, Haney will fight in Australia with local champion George Cambos Jr. – the title of absolute world champion is at stake. You are aware that Devin took a special member of the team: he screams in training – there is a video. Meanwhile, George Kambosos is ready to give revenge to Teofimo Lopez.
