Promoter Eddie Hearn believes Canelo Alvarez will work with His Excellency Turki Alalshikh or anybody if “the deal is true” for him following his subsequent struggle towards Edgar Berlanga on September 14th.
Canelo (61-2-2, 39 KOs) lately rebuffed Turki, letting him know that he didn’t need to talk about placing a struggle along with Terence Crawford in 2025. The Mexican star wished to attend till after his title protection towards Berlanga subsequent month.
Canelo’s Flexibility
Alvarez isn’t the kind to carry grudges, and he could be prepared to work with Turki to hearken to his concepts for a struggle in 2025. Whether or not Canelo will likely be desirous about combating Crawford is unclear, because it should make sense.
It’s not a struggle the place Canelo positive aspects credibility from followers by combating an older, smaller fighter coming off an unimpressive debut at 154 towards Israil Madrimov. Crawford seemed underpowered towards Madrimov, and you’ll solely think about how over-matched he’d be shifting up two weight courses to tackle the highly effective Canelo Alvarez at 168.
It might be virtually not possible for the Nebraska native to tackle a fighter that a lot greater and stronger than him.
Canelo’s Enterprise-First Method to Boxing
“I really like Canelo. I believe he’s an incredible fighter. He has his personal thoughts. He does enterprise his approach. If the deal is true, it doesn’t matter who it’s. Saul will get it executed,” mentioned promoter Eddie Hearn to Secondsout about his perception that Canelo Alvarez and His Excellency Turki Alalshikh can patch up their variations and work collectively for a giant struggle.
Canelo vs. Crawford would entice a lot curiosity from hardcore boxing followers within the U.S. The query is whether or not the informal followers are as enthusiastic about this struggle. The stories of Crawford vs. Madrimov bringing in 200K PPV buys earlier this month on August third aren’t a very good signal.
These numbers present that Crawford, regardless of his nice expertise, isn’t marketable to most of the people within the U.S.
