Hearn Wants Pacheco 'Standing on That Turnbuckle' vs. Canelo

Label: REPORTED · Heat: WARM. This is Eddie Hearn's pre-fight plan, not a booked Canelo fight. Saturday's main event in Carson is already official; we are not re-reporting the weights in Kimster 341.

At Friday's weigh-in, Hearn said, as quoted by BoxingNews24: "Forget all this by any means necessary. You want to go and get those big fights. You want to shout out those big names. You come in here, you look sensational in front of the whole country." And: "You got to be doing a job on Darius Fulghum tomorrow night and standing on that turnbuckle calling out Canelo Alvarez, calling out Jaime Munguia. And you got to get people believing in you."

BN24 also posted the piece here. That post carries an uncredited mixed-zone still with a DailyMotion QR overlay, so we are linking it rather than embedding it.

Nothing is signed with Canelo Álvarez, and there is no Jaime Munguia fighter page in the BoxBid list. Canelo's rumored 2027 path is already in 338 — a rumor map, not a Pacheco booking. There is no Diego Pacheco or Darius Fulghum fighter page in the BoxBid list.

Does Pacheco belong on that turnbuckle after Saturday, or is Hearn calling the shot a fight early? Tell us in the comments.

You didn't hear it from me… 🤐
