Saturday night’s fight between Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez is already one of the best-selling bouts in boxing history, according to promoter Dana White!
TMZ inquired about the significance of the occasion just a few days prior to the historic scrap. White stated: “[Canelo-Crawford] is already the third biggest fight of all time as far as gate. It’s number one all-time in stadiums. It’s the number one gate of all time at Allegiant Stadium,”
“So, it’s a big fight and I just want the production to be great live and and you know obviously on [Netflix].”
“I think the fact that Crawford wanted this fight, he’s going to move up in weight. You know, he’s aggressive. He likes to knock people out. And Canelo, obviously, is a great counterpuncher. He’s a heavy puncher himself. I think this fight’s going to be a war.”
“What I love about this card, too, is from the first prelim of the night to the main card. It’s it’s it’s an incredible group of fights like we do at the UFC.”
It goes without saying that Canelo, 35, and Bud, 37, are legends in addition to being two of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world. The Hall of Famers is locked.
Alvarez has won four weight classes and is 63-2-2 with 39 knockouts. Crawford has won four classes and is 41-0 with 31 knockouts.
To put it another way, it looks like a toss-up.
