Who will pay for its price?

Edgar Berlanga seemed to revel today to finally be a free agent after his four -fighting contract with Matchroom ended last Saturday evening. It could be disconnected from reality, thinking that promoters will want to sign it according to its 23 victories on tomato cans.

Finally free

The former Challenger of the world title of average weight Berlanga (23-1, 18 KB) believes that there will be a crazy rush from promoters and networks, which will lead him to obtain “this big bag” and to make incalculable wealth. He obtained the fight of Canelo Alvarez and did $ 12 million With Matchcom despite the fact of never beat high -level fighters. Eddie Hearn did an excellent job for Berlanga, and he didn’t have to beat a quality guy to get this money.

He made his money by being popular in the New York region rather than beating one of the killers at 168 years old. You can’t call Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz, Jason Quigley or Padraig McCrory Killers. These smallest fighters would not last a tour against the best contenders like Diego Pacheco and Oslesys Iglesias in Super Middleweight.

Who pays?

The promoter Eddie Hearn wants to continue working with Berlanga and put him in place with a fight against the Caleb factory. However, he could accompany them if the new Turki Alashik boxing league is interested in sign Berlanga. Dana White said that the new league fighters will lose fights as they will do at the UFC. If Berlanga can even gain weight for fights at 168 years old, he will lose several times if he is twinned with the best fighters in the division.

So, maybe they would be the perfect landing point for Berlanga, which will lose a lot if Dana will practice what he preaches about “the best fights the best”. This will come back to money, however, because Edgar will probably expect the same kind of dough he has obtained from his fight with Canelo.

It should be a promoter who is ready to lose money in his fights, because if he obtains $ 10 million to fight guys like Jermall Charlo, Caleb Plant or Jaime Munguia, the events will probably be bleeding. These guys are not popular enough to bring PPV purchases against Berlanga, and he does not have enough fans in the New York region to bring the figures to make a profitable fight if he gets huge money.

“If you want to hit him, you may say that he should have come back with something a little better,” said Teddy Atlas on his YouTube channel That Edgar Berlanga should have fought a better fighter in his return fight rather than Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz.

“He returned, he got rid of this type, and now he has to fight something.

Damn I’m really a free agent 😌😌
