Alvarez's contract with PBC, concluded last year, stipulated that the Mexican would have two more fights this year. According to Coppinger, the contract will not be fulfilled and Canelo will hold these two fights on evenings from Matchroom Boxing.
The contract between the boxer and PBC stipulated that Alvarez would receive at least $35 million for each of his performances. The Al Haymon Boxing Project tried to further challenge this condition, but ultimately the parties did not reach an agreement.
