Mayweather has dealt Canelo’s only career defeat so far when he convincingly defeated him on points in September 2013. Canelo believes the Mayweather-Paul duel is nothing more than a way to make money.

“It’s all about the money,” Canelo said in an interview with TMZ. – I don’t think it’s okay to think that people who are basketball players, youtubers, [должны] receive [боксерские] licenses. You know, I’m not criticizing. It is a very risky sport and if you enter the ring it is very risky. “

When Logan’s brother, blogger Jake Paul, challenged the best fighters to a boxing match, Canelo made it clear that he was not going to stoop to make money easy.

“No,” Canelo said. – I sincerely believe that this is disrespect for boxing. It’s all about the money. It’s all about the money. I am currently focusing on other projects. I have other things to do. I am ready to invite him to spar so that he really understands what is at stake. “

Canelo views such exhibition fights as disrespect for the sport: “I think that for real fighters it is disrespectful.”

In response, Paul recalled Canelo’s 2018 doping scandal. Tests of the Mexican twice gave a positive result for the banned weight loss drug clenbuterol. As a result, he was disqualified for six months. At the time of his disqualification, Canelo was adamant that his positive tests were a direct result of eating contaminated meat.

“And this is a man who has been caught using steroids twice,” said Paul on the air at Night Shift Gaming. – If we’re talking about disrespect for boxing, let’s talk about a guy who doesn’t play by the rules. If we talk about a disrespectful attitude towards sports, then I, for example, feel disrespectful due to the fact that someone literally does not respect and spits on the ethics of sports. Yes, it upsets me. “

Paul thinks that Canelo is still worried about the defeat to Mayweather: “I think he envies, because I have a chance to beat Mayweather, and he lost to him. This is his only defeat. The fact that we are trying to do something, put on a great show and earn extra money does not mean that you can spit on us. What the fuck, dude? “
