According to a tweet from Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated, an offer in the $50 million range will be presented to undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez by representatives of unbeaten interim WBC champion David Benavidez.
An Alvarez-Benavidez fight would be a significant match, given Alvarez's overall popularity and the interest in both fighters from the Mexican and Mexican American communities.
Both fighters scored dominant wins in their last outing. Alvarez returned from hand surgery to dominate John Ryder, winning a one-sided unanimous decision on May 6 in Alvarez's hometown of Guadalajara, Mexico. Alvarez won by scores of 118-109 twice and 120-107.
