Canelo Alvarez predicts his possible battle against Terence Crawford in September will buy more pay-per-see than his megaclash against the then superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr. 2.2 million ppv buy On showtime.
The fight against the 40-Ish Crawford (41-0, 31 COs) is talked about about the United Super Middleweight Champion Alvarez. Unfortunately, it does not sound based on reality. Crawford is not a popular fighter among non-hard box fans.
Bigger than Floyd?
Late Turki Alalshikh Love Bud Crawford and enjoy his defensive counter -style, American fans have never been excited about his career. They did not show interest in his career as with fighters with more entertaining styles, such as Errol Spence (in front of his car accident), Canelo, David Bansavidez and Gerrvonta Davis.
Turki chose the wrong fighter to stab his wagon around because American fans are not excited about Crawford. They don’t like the idea behind the 40-year-old man who moves two weight classes to challenge Canelo for his 168-pound titles. It’s a Gimmick fight.
The Omaha, Nebraska native Crawford, does not have the exciting style and charisma to be a great PPV draw for a fight against Canelo. He made no effort to raise his popularity on social media as other fighters do, and it is now too late for him to start building in that area
Crawford’s numbers
– Israil Madrimov: 200,000 Buy on Dazn & Espn
– Errol Spence: 700,000 on Showtime
– David Avanesyan: 120,000 on BLK Prime
– Shawn Porter: 190,000 on ESPN
– Amir Khan: 200,000 on ESPN
– Viktor Postol: 60,000 on HBO
The only battle in Crawford’s career that brought good PPV numbers was his fight against Errol Spence Jr. In 2023. The success of the event was thanks to Spence, not Crawford. He is not a fate-a-look draw and his recent fight against Israel Madrimov has shown that it brought it in with the poor numbers.
“I think it’s going to be bigger, even than the Mayweather fight. It’s going to be bigger than that, ”Canelo Alvarez said ifl tv About his potential fight against Terence Crawford greater than his match against Floyd Mayweather Jr. In 2013 on showtime. “Yes, I think so (Canelo-Crawford will buy more pay-per-view than the Mayweather-Canelo battle).”
Even with Netflix showing the Canelo against Crawford match, it will probably do fewer numbers than Alvarez’s last fight against Edgar Berlanga on September 14. That event brought in 650,000 buy.
