Canelo claimed that UFC star Usman is only looking for a "pay day", but the Mexican said he wasn't against it.
Canelo said to MMA Hour, "Pay day, that's a payday, I know. Perhaps, but why not?
"My trainer mentioned it to me, but it's not on mine."
Canelo will face Bivol to win the WBA light heavyweight title. He said that he would rather concentrate on his boxing heritage than entertain such fights.

He said, "I want to leave a great legacy for my career. Then we can discuss it."
After suffering a hand injury, Usman will be back in the Octagon to face Leon Edwards in July.
DAZN was told by Usman that it made sense because people are looking for entertainment.
"So, to entertain people, when has the world ever seen two of the best fighters in combat sports, and when have they ever competed? It has never happened.
"This will be the greatest, most important event of its kind.
"The two top-of-the-line fighters in combat sports who are pound-for–pound ready to go in there and fight it out will probably be the largest event ever,"
Alvarez expressed interest in fighting his long-time rival Gennady Gorlovkin.
After a draw in their first fight last year, Canelo defeated Golovkin in September 2018.
Chris Mannix asked Canelo if he considers his rivalry against GGG personal. Canelo replied: "Yes. He speaks a lot of s**t."
