Jorge Masvidal recently expressed interest in a fight with boxing star Canelo Alvarez. Unfortunately for the red-hot UFC welterweight, Alvarez doesn’t seem very interested<\/a> in this cross-over matchup \u2014 though he admits it would be a good business opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI say this with all respect: If I go into his sport, I have nothing to do there. And I think the same about boxing: If (MMA fighters) come into boxing, they have nothing to do here,\u201d Canelo told Little Giant Boxing of a fight with Masvidal (via MMA Junkie<\/a>). \u201cBut looking at it from a business standpoint, it is attractive, but it\u2019s not a challenge for me, so it\u2019s not my priority.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of money \u2013 because of the business and nothing else,\u201d Canelo added. \u201cThat\u2019s the reality, because what else? They would\u2019ve started boxing from the beginning if they really liked boxing. And I say this will all due respect, each to their own: I respect what they do and their sport, and they\u2019re great fighters in what they do. But in boxing, well, it\u2019s just something else.\u201d<\/p>\n
