Dana White & TKO to promote Canelo vs. Crawford: Will UFC achieve PPV for the “biggest fight” of boxing?

Image: Dana White & TKO to Promote Canelo vs. Crawford: Will UFC Reach Boost PPV for Boxing's "Biggest Fight"?

Turki Alalshikh confirmed today that Dana White will promote September 13 between Canelo Alvarez and Terenka Crawford together with TKO Boxing. Thanks to the range given through UFC, it can bring greater interest in fans, and PPV buys for it Great fight.

Canelo-Crawford PPV price debate

The platform for Canelo-Crawford has not been disclosed, as did the price of PPV. Canelo’s last fights with Edgar Berlang and Jaime Munguia were in the range of 70 USD. Given that Turki calls Canelo vs. Crawford “The biggest fight in boxing”, it is reasonable to assume that the price of PPV may be higher than Alvarez’s last fights, maybe even in the 1990s or $ 100.

It’s too high for this fight, because Crawford is not popular among mainstream fans. What’s more, the fight is perceived more in terms of money for the aging 35-year-old Canelo Alvarez and 40-person Buda Crawford.

Fans do not know how well Crawford will perform to have an idea of ​​whether it is worth taking 90 to 100 USD to buy an event, taking into account that he never fought at the age of 168 or even 160. The only thing that fans can go through is how Crawford fought, debuting in 154 last year. He looked feeble and vintage, endowed with Madrimov by results 115-113 x 3.

I got it for Madrimov 7-5 and I didn’t have a dog in this hunt. Crawford’s arrows were too feeble, and he ate his right hands from Madrimov, as if they were candy. He couldn’t get enough of these shots. Canelo-Crawford should really be an exhibition match, because the fans were cheated when Canelo defended themselves from a warrior from the 154-Funt division, Jermell Charlo in 2023.

Like Crawford, Jermell moved to two divisions, ignoring the ranking system to challenge the global Alvarez titles in 168. Jermell felt the power and ranking around the ring for 12 rounds while the fans got out.

Crawford age and performance problems

They both come out of destitute performances, in which they showed that they are not close to the top of their weight classes. Canelo looked at William Scull, lost to half a dozen of the best rivals. Crawford probably lost his last struggle Israil Madrimov, but received a dubious decision in August last year.

This fight showed that Crawford is too vintage and diminutive to beat the best fighters at the age of 154; That is why he quickly gave up the goal of attempting to break through the killers, such as Bakrham Murtazaliev, Edgar Berlanga and Vergil Ortiz to become unquestioned in the younger medium weight. Giving up this goal showed that Crawford knew that there was no chance to achieve it. He achieved his ceiling and the age takes control.

Ignoring the boxing ranking system

Many fans are alley in paying this kind of money, considering that this competition ignores a typical ranking system and meritocrat associated with a warrior tough to a world title. 37 -year -old Crawford never fought in Super Middle Wweight, he did not take 168, and jumps up two weight classes to get an immediate shot. It’s just a fight for money. Crawford will not win his title, and it is doubtful that he could, if he were forced to carry out a diminutive three -year glove.

At an advanced age of Crawford, chronic inaction and a diminutive frame, it is doubtful to defeat these three candidates to get the title shot against Canelo.

– Armando Resendiz
– Oslyys Iglesias
– Edgar Berlanga

Crawford is like an vintage car with 300,000 miles on the meter meter number of mileage at the moment of your career and can blow the gasket or connecting rod. You can’t love him in this fight because it goes straight to the so -called top. Although I see Canelo as #7 in the Super Middle Wweight division, he is still too large and sturdy for Crawford.

“My brother Dana [White] It will promote this fight. This is the fight of the Riyadh season and we have a contract with TKO to promote it. It will be the biggest fight in boxing, and tomorrow I think I will tell the details, platform and place of this fight, me and Dana, “said Turki Alalshikh X About the fight of Canelo Alvarez vs. Terenca Crawford.

Janibek Alimkhanuly Shifts Perspective on Hamzah Sheeraz: A New Dynamic in Boxing

"Janibek Alimkhanuly Shifts Perspective on Hamzah Sheeraz: A New Dynamic in Boxing"

Janibek Alimkhanuly spent months trying to get Hamzah Sheeraz into the ring. Now that Sheeraz has vacated his WBO super middleweight title, Janibek is asking fans to stop saying the former champion ran from him. That is generous. It also leaves Janibek with less to say about a fight he wanted badly.

Janibek’s tone has changed since the purse bid. He was eager to fight, said money was not his priority, and publicly pushed Sheeraz to accept. Queensberry then bid $1,001,809 to stage the ordered defense, beating Top Rank’s $820,000 offer. Sheeraz’s 75 percent share would have been roughly $751,000. Days later, he gave up the belt.

That sequence deserves a closer look. Queensberry put a serious number on the fight, so the bid itself cannot be dismissed as proof that nobody valued it. But winning the right to promote a title defense means little to fans when the champion vacates before it happens.

Sheeraz has objected to Janibek receiving a mandatory shot after his failed drug test. He is entitled to explain that position. Fans are equally entitled to ask why the issue reached a purse bid before he surrendered the title. Janibek’s post supplies no answer.

Perhaps Janibek sees no benefit in branding Sheeraz a coward. Doing so would also make the opponent he chased sound less valuable. Calling Sheeraz a great fighter preserves the idea that this was an important contest, even after the belt and the fight slipped away.

The respect between them may be sincere. Janibek still gets no Sheeraz fight, and Sheeraz no longer has to defend his title against Janibek. A friendly photo does not change either result.
