Dorchester Center, MA 02124
Edgar Berlanga is bitter that his fight with Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz (20-0-1, 16 KB) will be the co-functionality instead of the main event this Saturday, March 15, at the Royal Caribe in Orlando, Florida.
The event will be displayed LIVE ON DAZN. Instead of being the headliner, the farewell fight of Berlanga with Match is on the sub-card of Austin Williams against Patrice Volny.
Berlanga (22-1, 17 kos) says he was supposed to be the head of March 8 in Puerto Rico, but the promoter Eddie Hearn continued to send him contracts he did not like, including one involving the extension with Match.
Berlanga did not want to do it because he thought there would be a great demand for him as a free agent. He wants “Get the bag.” According to Hearn, Berlanga wanted to make an easy fight after his defeat against the champion of the super-median Canelo Alvarez last September. He wanted to participate in a main event in a non-line fight.
Berlanga obtained a huge salary against Canelo which would be $ 10 million, which shows that Hearn delivered him. He had probably not beat anyone the high level to obtain this fight, and was not interested in fighting the old “regular” super weight of WBA David Morrell while he was compulsory for his belt.

Free agency plans
“This free agency visit will be like Kobe, LeBron, Carmelo Anthony and Michael Jordan,” said Edgar Berlanga to Thaboxingvoice About the request he is waiting for his services after his contract with Match ends with his fight this Saturday against Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz.
It is doubtful that there is a huge demand for the Berlanga services once it will arrive on the free agency market, as he believes. You never know. If Turki Alashikh and Tko Boxing by Dana White want to sign Berlanga for Big Bucks, he would be happy. However, Berlanga should be protected to prosper the way he was carefully guided with the match and the first row. Turki and Dana could not put Berlanga with the best and expect him to do well. He would probably lose several times. Dana said that the fighters who are with them will lose. So maybe that will not have important if Berlanga is beaten again and again.
“Do you think I want to sit here (with Matchroom) and fight this type of fighting. If I were a free agent now, I would fight a mega-combat right now, “said Berlanga. “It was Munguia, Caleb (plant) or (jermall) Charlo. I aim for the best dogs.
Jermall Charlo, 34, has not fought for two years, and it is not of the type that would be sold at the head of the PPV against Berlanga. The older ones would have to be interested in buying the event so that it is doing well because they were too inactive.
“I had to fight on March 8 in Puerto Rico in the main event. Eddie Hearn and his crew continued to return contracts that we do not like, and they wanted to make an extension. We did not want to make an extension. I wanted to make one and make a farewell fight with them and do it in Puerto Rico. They didn’t see our eyes with us, ”said Berlanga.
Note: the opponent that Berlanga wanted to fight for the Porto Rico show would have the 39 -year -old companion Pink gabe (26-17-1, 15 KB), which went 0-4 in its last four fights and has not won since 2021. Obviously, it would be a bad farewell fight for the Hearn and Dazn match to show in the main event on one of their cards. They want to provide value to fans, and Berlanga against Rosado would be a pure poison.
Superstar status?
“I don’t want to fight on the co-printing event, but it’s a sacrifice for me just so that I can be a free agent after that so that I can do my own movements and do what I want to do. I am at this level now where I’m a superstar now. I am a high caliber fight and I sell tickets and I am an essential fighter on television.
Berlanga is not a superstar. It is popular in parts of New York and in Puerto Rico. Regarding the rest of the United States, he is just a manufacturer manufactured protected by his promoters, with tomato cans to set up it with a fight against Canelo Alvarez. He did this, he shows his gratitude by wanting to leave Match, believing that things will be better for him elsewhere.
“There are great, big, large and large fights at 168 that I want to do. I think that if I am alone and I can go with a television network, because television networks are those that are bosses, “said Berlanga. “The television networks are the ones who drop the money, then the promoters make money to the fighters.
“So, whatever the promoter I decide to go with it to promote a great mega-combat and whatever the television network on which we put our hands, we do a lot of money so that we can eat and make history. This applies to Jaime Munguia, Caleb Plant, Jermall Charlo. It’s about moving money now. It’s about making a lot of money for me and the other man through the ring. »»
With anyone Berlanga signs, they should agree so that he was fighting during the fight against the right opposition, but he did not show the talent so that he is doing well against one of the best average weights. His best career victories are Padraig McCrory, Jason Quigley, Steve Rolls, Roamer Alexis Anguilo and Marcelo.
“You got me. I am about to be 28 years old. You have Muguia, he is 28 years old. You have a Caleb plant. He has her thirties. Charlo has about thirty. These guys want to make a legacy, a story and make the bag. So when they retire, they have their family, their children and can eat well, “said Berlanga.
