Alashikh to reveal Canelo vs. Promoter of Crawford, platform after 3

Turki Alashikh said today that he would reveal a “surprise” On who will promote and which platform will show “The Big Fight” between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford after May 3.

Netflix and who

It has already been disclosed that Turki’s TKO boxing will promote the event and will be broadcast on Netflix. What is more careful is the price. Who promotes and what platform does not matter, as long as the price is low, especially for celebrity matches like Canelo against Crawford.

This match is more non -sporting, given that Crawford has never fought at 168, has not won a title of title in the traditional way and does not intend to stay in the weight category afterwards. In other words, Terence is a category touristVisiting only for his pension salary in golden parachute, then disappearing with the loot. There is no real value for fans.

Turki says that Canelo-Crawford will be the greatest “fighting in boxing history”, which goes too far. Terence is not very popular, however, and this is not the fight that American fans called to involve Canelo. In terms of popularity, Crawford is at the bottom of the spectrum. He lacks charisma and his combat style is too similar to that of Shakur Stevenson, that we, fans of us.

They did not push the Mexican star Alvarez to fight the 38 years old Crawford. American fans want Canelo to fight David Benavidez. Crawford is not popular and has never been.

Fan indifference

People do not ask Canelo to choose an old man from the 154 LB division. He already did it in 2023 when he fought the former unquestioned junior weight champion Jermell Charlo, and it was a complete discrepancy.

Canelo’s past fights against Gennadiy Golovkin were all bigger matches than Crawford’s fight. The reason is that Terence is not popular, and it has never been. Look at his history of the history of the PPV. His only successful fight on PPV was against Errol Spence in 2023, and it was because of Errol.

There is not much that Turki can do to make Canelo-Crawford the “biggest fight in history” because it is too late. Crawford is old, and he is physically unable to switch to 168 to prove himself first by directing the glove through Benavidez, David Morrell and Diego Pacheco.

If Turki really wanted to make Canelo against Crawford the biggest in sport, he would insist that Terence to fight these three guys. If he comes out victorious, it could be the biggest fight in history if he had to fight Canelo. Terence is too old, small and weak to beat one of the three fighters. In addition, Crawford barely beaten Israil Madrimov in his last fight at 154, and he looked like a fossil of the Mesozoic period Dinosaurs.

Fans of ultra-hardcore will be enthusiastic about this news, but that does not matter for the average person who follows sport. They do not care who promotes or the platform on which the Canelo-Crawford fight will be displayed. People interested in this fight will only care about the price.

The biggest fight of all time?

“After May third, we will announce details on the fight of Canelo and Crawford, the big fight in boxing history,” said Turki Alashikh today X spacesTo talk about his plans for different battles, one of them being Canelo Alvarez’s show against Terence Crawford on September 13 in Las Vegas.

“We will not announce it before the 3rd (before Canelo’s fight against the average weight champion IBF, William Scull), all the details, and there will be a surprise at whom the promoter will be for this great fight and the platform that you will see the big fight.

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