Comments Thread For: 'Canelo' Alvarez-Terence Crawford ruled out by Saudi Arabian powerbrokers

I'm glad he has lost interest in making that match up. Now we can get Crawford vs Fundora for 3 of the 4 154lb belts on the line. Hopefully before the year is up, or in January. I see Crawford hurting Fundora bad to the body. You can see how Madrimov reacted to those shots.

Dreaming too much there buddy. People overrate Crawford way too much. I'm telling you he is going to taste his 1st defeat at 154.

I don't think so. His promoter said they plan on negotiating with Crawford.

Smoke and mirrors. They are putting up the illusion of negotiating with Bud be cause they have to appease the sanctioning body. They want the big money PPV with Spence which is way more lucrative than Bud

Madrimov is way better than Fundora. If Fundora gets through Spence, Crawford will tear him apart faster than Mendoza did.

I don’t know man. The way things are looking today. Haymon would be a fool to not to tap into that Saudi money.

As boxing fans this was the best thing that could have ever happened to the sport. Now we are seeing fights that we normally don’t see.

It’s because your excellency is now bringing rival promoters together to fill out these mega boxing cards.





But the thing about that is ut appears as though the wheels are starting to come off of this Saudi thing g and Haymon knows it. He just sat back and let Turki-mane fire off his entire clip a d didn't hit nothing. PBC just said their full schedule for '24-25 is coming out soon. Turki-mane just announced no Canelo vs Bud but what else do they have. He's claiming to have plans for Benevidez and Tsyzu but those are Haymon's guys. He said he has plans for Devin and Shakur who aren't his fighters either. Turki-mane has completely shoved Eddie Hearn to the side and is now taking over promotional operations. Canelo will probably end his career with Al. Bud, Boots, Shakur and Devin will have success only with PBC fighters on Prime not Dazn. Thos whole Dazn/Saudi shyte over the last few years have been a complete fraud in US boxing!

The General Entertainment Authority appear to have ruled out attempting to make a fight between Terence Crawford and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez

Go for it Mr Al Haymon. Do the fight on PBC/Amazon.

Turki is basically saying that he doesn't think Crawford has a good chance of beating Canelo, so he's not making that fight.

Not rocket science.

I think he'd love to make Crawford vs Ortiz vs Boots. Also, Canelo vs Benavidez, at whatever weight.

Morrell's stock dropped a tad.

If you read the article, he is saying he does not want Canelo. He is still high on Crawford. I am assuming Canelo is behaving like a diva, demanding too much money and Turki is going to try to freeze him out. He is not mentioning Tank either. My opinion is this - everyone who is disrespectful and wants to boss him around ( i.e. Canelo and Tank) and going to be left out of the future mega card funded by Turki.

[BrankoB]

It seems to me nobody is actually reading the article and instead just projecting their own opinions depending on whether they like Crawford or Canelo. This is what Turki said on the matter.

I decided to disregard the Canelo fight, as I don’t want it anymore.

“Instead, I will be focusing for the US market with bigger fights, especially for the legend Crawford.

That makes it pretty clear. He does not like Canelo. He likes Crawford. He is not mentioning Fundora, Tank, Madrimov but is is talking about making fights for Boots, Haney, Shakur, Ortiz, Anderson, Benavidez, Zepeda and more (possibly Tim Tszyu).

Canelo is behaving like a diva. Too big money demands. I think we will never see Canelo on Saudi cards.

Canelo is probably done with big fightes, it is over. I don`t see him fighting Benavidez, Bivol, Beterbiev.

[Slip jab]

TR grew tired of Anderson antics outside the ring and threw him to the wolves and I think the loss can be a positive thing for JAs boxing career; continue to develop and listen to your promoter! He’s a good fighter and he has a bright future ahead of him. The bs outside the ring gotta stop. Look at Ryan and Broner.

It certainly looks that way. In an interview before the fight card on the weekend, Turki said he has made Canelo an offer for a Crawford fight. Now he is saying no more Canelo. So far Canelo has been making $35M per fight easy. I wonder what will happen going forward. He has upset Saudis and he is avoiding Benavidez, Bivol, Beterbiev. Can he continue to make mega $$$ with this approach?
