Canelo Demands $100 Million for Crawford Rematch

By Dong Secuya

When fight figures cross into nine-digit guarantees, the conversation usually turns cynica…

During last Saturday's "Now or Never" card in Cebu City which featured the Vic Darchinyan-Z Gorres fight, the ALA Promotions and international matchmaker non-pareil Sampson Lewkowicz led a moment of silence in prayer before the main event as the bell slowly rang ten times for the two grand children of IBF President Marian Muhammad who passed away very recently.

The crowd, which included IBF's Ray Wheatley and GAB Chairman Eric Buhain, joined in the moment of silence and prayer, and the whole Philippine boxing community in praying for Muhammad's two grand children, Samir ?Smooch? Wilkins and Ashley Heath.

Also in attendance were GAB Commissioners Angel Bautista and Monju Guanzon, as well as GAB boxing chief Nasser Cruz.
