David Benavidez and David Morrell Clash Over Pay Allegations Ahead of Anticipated Fight

The fighters exchanged heated accusations during a press conference, with Benavidez alleging financial mismanagement in Morrell's camp.

David Benavidez accused David Morrell's manager, Luis DeCubas Sr., of taking a larger share of Morrell's fight earnings, a claim DeCubas has denied.
Morrell dismissed the allegations as 'stupid' and criticized Benavidez for making baseless remarks during the press conference.
The confrontation extended to a post-conference interview where Morrell clashed with a reporter over questions related to the allegations.
Both fighters have transitioned to the light heavyweight division, with this fight marking a significant test for their careers at 175 pounds.
The winner of this bout could set up future opportunities, potentially against Canelo Alvarez or the victor of the upcoming Beterbiev-Bivol rematch.
