Alalshikh to Canelo vs. Crawford Promoter, Platform Na-Mei-3rd

Turki Alalshikh said today that he “Surprise” About who will promote and what platform will show “The Big Fight” between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford after May 3.

Netflix & WHO

It has been leaked that Turki’s TKO box will promote the event and be displayed on Netflix. What fans care about is the price. Who promotes and what platform doesn’t matter, as long as the price is low, especially for fame matches like Canelo against Crawford.

The match is more non-sports, as Crawford has never fought on 168, he did not earn a title in the traditional way and does not intend to stay in the weight class afterwards. In other words, Terence is a Weight class touristOnly visit for his golden parachute retirement and then disappear with the loot. There is no real value for fans.

Turki says the Canelo-Crawford will be the biggest ‘battle in the history of boxing’, which goes overboard. However, Terence is not very popular, and it is not the battle that American fans have asked to involve Canelo. As for the popularity, Crawford is at the bottom of the spectrum. He does not have charisma and his fighting style is too similar to Shakur Stevenson, who abhors American fans.

They haven’t pushed to the Mexican star Alvarez yet to against the 38-year-old man Crawford. American fans want Canelo fight against David Banavidez. Crawford is not popular and has never been.

Fan indifference

People don’t ask that Canelo to choose an old man from the 154-pound section. He did this in 2023 when he fought former undisputed junior middleweight champion Jermell Charlo, and it was a complete mismatch.

Canelo’s distant fights in the past against Gennadiy Golovkin were all bigger games than the Crawford match would be. The reason is that Terence is not popular, and that he has never been. Look at its PPV history in the past. His only successful battle on PPV was against Errol Spence in 2023, and it was due to Errol.

There are not much Turki who can do to make Canelo-Crawford the ‘biggest struggle in history’ because it is too late. Crawford is old, and he is physically unable to move to 168 to prove himself first by running the Gauntlet by Benavidez, David Morrell and Diego Pacheco.

If Turki really wanted to make Canelo fight against Crawford against the biggest in the sport, he would insist that Terence fight against the three guys. If he overcomes, it is perhaps the greatest struggle in history if he fought Canelo. Terence is too old, small and weak to beat any of the three fighters. In addition, Crawford Israil Madrimov barely beat in his last fight at 154, and he like a fossil of the Mesozoic period of the dinosaurs.

Ultra-hardcore fans will get excited about this news, but it doesn’t matter to the average person following the sport. They do not care who promotes or on what platform the Canelo Crawford match will be. Those interested in this battle will only care about the price tag.

Biggest battle ever?

“After the third of May, we will announce the details of the Canelo and Crawford struggle, the big fight in the history of boxing,” Turki Alalshikh said today X spacesTo talk about his plans for different battles, one of which was the Canelo Alvarez against Terence Crawford spectacle on September 13 in Las Vegas.

‘We will first announced it until the 3rd (before Canelo’s fight against the IBF super -middleweight champion William Scull), all the details, and there will be a surprise about who will be the promoter for this big battle and the platform you will see the big fight.

“Canelo will want to focus on his dangerous battle (Scull) on the third of May, and then we will talk about the future,” Turki said.
