Promoter Oscar de la Hoya revealed on social media that Canelo Alvarez against Terence Crawford during the day, not at night, will be shown on Netflix on September 13. De la Hoya says the reason why Canelo-Crawford is shown during the day is to “accommodate ufc noche. “
De la Hoya: Canelo-Crawford Daytime
If what De la Hoya says is true, that the battle will be shown during the day, it will disappoint many fans. They are used to seeing the fights during the evening on Saturday nights, and they will not be happy that the UFC event is taking that place over Canelo’s match.
Oscar says Canelo doesn’t care about the fans or ‘Mexican tradition’. He mentions that Alvarez just “cares about the money”.
“What the media reports is that Canelo-Crawford is the biggest battle of the decade. For a purest and a fighter, it’s laughable,” Oscar de la Hoya said on X. “You jumped Crawford on two weight classes to fight against Canelo, which is a natural lightweight.”
Turki Alalshikh is the only one to call Canelo’s match against Crawford “The Biggest Fight”. Of course, it’s not. It may get the biggest marketing storage from him, but it won’t be the biggest this year, because the fans are not interested in this game. It is seen as two old guys who apply to money. Both looked their age in their last battles.
UFC Night Shifts Canelo
“You have Crawford, who couldn’t push Madrimov (Israil) Madrimov back. Life and death with Madrimov. What do you think Canelo is going to do to him? ‘ said De la Hoya. “Run him out of the ring. Get it. The battle will take place during the day On September 13 in Las Vegas. So, Canelo will fight on Netflix during the day just to accommodate UFC Noche later that evening on another network. “
If Canelo goes on the attack like Madrimov did, Crawford won’t be able to do much. Terence is not physically decided for 168, 160 or 154. He does not have the natural power that comes from fighters designed for those weight classes. Crawford has aged, and he has deteriorated because of his inactivity. He has been fighting once a year since 2020 for five years. Since he started making good money five years ago, his activity has delayed.
“Does this mean that this struggle is not important?” said De la Hoya. “Don’t give them about the fans and the viewer? Why should Canelo fight on the Mexican Independence Day weekend during the day? And the UFC, with a timetable I have never heard of, goes at Cinco de Mayo at an excellent time. He is fighting in Riyadh, and now he is fighting in boxing during the day in the biggest weekend. ‘
Turki has not yet revealed what the time for Canelo will be against Crawford. But it would be disturbing if the fight occurs during the day, but it doesn’t matter if it leads to fewer people reporting to Netflix. They have such a wide database that is still being watched, but it probably won’t be a large amount of new subscribers because it is not a battle that fans demand. This is one that Turki likes.
Canelo prioritize money: Oscar
“Yes, Canelo will fight everywhere, and every time he is told because he does not give up. All he cares about is the money. He doesn’t give a good version of the fans, about the Mexican weekend tradition, ‘says De la Hoya.
