Canelo Alvarez against Jake Paul is reportedly a “Keep deal” For Cinco de Mayo, who will appear in Las Vegas at the Allegiant Stadium or the T-Mobile Arena on May 3. It has not been made official yet, but it is said to have been done.
Done transaction?
Cynthia Conte reports that the Canelo-Paul battle is an agreement. She did not say the weight because it is a hindrance to overcome.
Jake (11-1, 7 food) is a cross weight. He weighed 227 pounds when he fought on heavyweight against Mike Tyson on November 15 last year. If Canelo (62-2-2, 39 COs) insist that the fight occurs at 175 pounds or lower, Paul will have to drop a lot of weight, which should probably leave him too radiated to fight.
Yesterday it was reported that Canelo against Terence Crawford is now off. No explanation was given, but it is rumored that Turki Al-Sheikh did not want to perform their event in 2025 and that it brings in much lower numbers than the Canelo-Paul event.
Muscle on social media
Jake is much better known as Terence Crawford because of his 27.7 million Instagram Followers and 20.8 YouTube -Intudes. In comparison, Crawford has 2 million Instagram followers. Do the math.
If you are Canelo, you would rather fight against a man like Crawford, where you are going to be the one who gives attention to the fight because of your millions of fans, or do you want to face, which is probably more popular On social media?
Money conversations
If you add that the fact that Crawford will follow the Mayweather blueprint by boxing and moving 12 rounds is a no-brainer that Alvarez Jake would choose as his next opponent. Canelo will not receive credit for the fight against one of them, but at least in the case of Jake, he will earn so much money that it is worth roasting by fans.
A small bird told me Jake Paul vs. Canelo is a doken agreement for May 3, Cinco de Mayo weekend in Vegas!
Allegiant & T-Mobile Arena are the two possible venues.
