Alvarez has not publicly confirmed the conversation or the figure.<\/p>\n<p>The remarks were made during the debut edition of Paul\u2019s Kick stream and circulated widely after a clip was posted by Happy Punch on X. \u201cCanelo wants 200 million. I have the 200 million dollars for you, easy money,\u201d Paul said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/boxingnewsonline.net\/news\/canelo-offered-200m-for-fight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Boxing News<\/a>. \u201cJake Paul vs Canelo, let\u2019s get it done. This is what the fans have been waiting for. This is the biggest fight that can possibly be made in boxing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul added that Alvarez had spoken to him by phone. \u201cCanelo says he\u2019s down on the phone, so we\u2019re going to make it happen. I have the 200 million and I think that\u2019s going to be the next fight. Sign the contract Canelo. Much respect to you, let\u2019s make the biggest fight in boxing happen.\u201d The clip shared on the stream included faint audio of a call Paul attributed to Alvarez, but the footage did not contain any verbal agreement from the Mexican fighter.<\/p>\n<p>Canelo\u2019s Camp Has Not Confirmed<\/p>\n<p>Alvarez has not addressed Paul\u2019s claim publicly. According to a report aggregated by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asatunews.co.id\/en\/jake-paul-canelo-alvarez-offer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Excelsior<\/a>, Alvarez responded to the offer on social media with laughing emojis, which the Mexican outlet characterized as a dismissal.<\/p>\n<p>Alvarez\u2019s scheduled return is already set. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/boxing\/story\/_\/id\/48640380\/canelo-alvarez-face-christian-mbilli-wbc-belt-sept\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">ESPN reported<\/a> that Alvarez will challenge WBC super middleweight champion Christian Mbilli in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in September, with The Ring\u2019s Mike Coppinger first reporting the agreement. The bout is targeted for the Mexican Independence Day weekend window and is expected to headline a \u201cMexico vs. the World\u201d card backed by Turki Alalshikh\u2019s Riyadh Season.<\/p>\n<p>Alvarez (63-3-2, 39 KOs) has not fought since losing the undisputed super middleweight title to Terence Crawford by unanimous decision on September 13, 2025, in Las Vegas. He underwent elbow surgery during his recovery. Mbilli (29-0-1, 24 KOs), a Cameroon-born French fighter based in Montreal, was elevated to full WBC champion in January after Crawford retired.<\/p>\n<p>Paul\u2019s Status Since the Joshua Loss<\/p>\n<p>Paul (11-1, 7 KOs) has not fought since being stopped by Anthony Joshua in their December 2025 bout. He has said publicly that he sustained a broken jaw in the fight and has at times suggested he may not compete again. The Kick stream marked his most aggressive public push toward a return.<\/p>\n<p>Talks between Paul and Alvarez previously advanced in 2024, before Alvarez signed a four-fight agreement with Riyadh Season that began with William Scull and culminated in the Crawford loss. Alvarez said at the time that any fight with Paul, if it occurred, would come at the end of his career.<\/p>\n<p>No promoter, network, or sanctioning body has confirmed any negotiation involving the $200 million figure cited by Paul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jake Paul said on a Kick livestream this week that he has offered Saul \u201cCanelo\u201d Alvarez $200 million&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":671940,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-671939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=671939"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671939\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/671940"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=671939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=671939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=671939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
