I'm in love with the idea of the biggest boxing cards being on Netflix. I can afford that deal!!!!!

On September 13, I’m ready to show once again that I am the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world,” Alvarez said in the prepared statement

clown thinks hes the p4p no1 guy lol

wow

ill be rooting for bud v the ducking egomaniac having said that bud himself has major delusions of grandeur as well i think hes almost placed himself in the top p4p 3 guys ever lol

idk where it all comes from really

Don't listen to these rumours, they're usually pure fabrication which gets repeated across the internet. Like Tyson's "$30mil" against Jake Paul, for which there is no reliable source.

Really looking forward to this one. Probably Crawford's last ever fight so let's make the most of it.

This is a dark era of prizefighting now that the west have acknowledged Suadi Sportswashing. Sela, owned by the Saudi government through the country’s Public Investment Fund sovereign wealth vehicle, are splurging without consequence, something the Saudi’s like to gamble on and good for them.

Truth be told, this is a new era of ****** currency and confidentiality. Ideally you’re supposed to report ****** earnings per govt/nation rules, but it’s still untrackable given practical anonymity at secure levels. It’s soooo very easy to give *******s to Canelo, Bud, Fury, Usyk…etc. The Saudi’s like to report big bags, buy at the same time they probably don’t care about earning disclosures from said stars since it’s not their responsibility. Govt.’s can only hassle earners for what’s technically reported (which is always strategized), but they can’t do witch hunts unless they feel treats for national security, and it would be hard to create narratives that ********* funding could be funneled via ****** per said boxing stars. This is why it’s left alone, at least for now.

new prize fighters have to make a choice on what to keep secret by Saudi “investors.”

i wonder will netflix get the streaming stutter buffer right

I like Crawford and hope he wins, but I am not sure that he is better than Mayweather and therefore by extension he wins easy. I never liked Floyd and I always liked Creawford, but I cannot say that Bud's skills are better than Floyd's skills. Floyd's resume is beyond compare in modern boxing and anyone would have a very hard time mounting a credible argument that somebody is better than him skills wise and accomplishment wise.

Anyway, I don't understand the maths for this fight. Free to Netflix subscribers? You mean I get to watch it without paying $1 extra beyond my subscription? How does anyone make money? Is Turki just paying $200M+ for his own entertainment? WOW!!!

Here’s what I see and understand.
Floyd handled Canelo with no issues. Crawford is better than Floyd as in skills, strength, conditioning, life style and grit! Bud wins!!

not true... floyd has a style that is very hard to hit. crawford, not so much. TC is a lot more hittable and more aggressive than floyd... this will be his downfall.

TC is not a better boxer than floyd, maybe a better fighter but that's 2 different things. canelo struggles with defensive boxers that has great movements and footwork. TC is usually flat footed because TC likes to throw power shots. TC does show some upper body movements but he's not really fast on his feet like floyd is.

[IceTrayDaGang]

just dont come back on here saying "we knew it all along, TC was too small"... after making claims that TC will beat canelo.

Right so if this is the fight of the century it should have an undercard to match.
Give us 5 realistic but probably unlikely fights here's mine:

- Benevidez v Smith
- Boots v Benn
- Lara/Adames v Eubank Jr
- Joshua v Wilder
- Lomochenko v Tank

Beat that!!!!

Floyd handled Canelo with no issues. Crawford is better than Floyd as in skills, strength, conditioning, life style and grit! Bud wins!!

Disagree Crawford’s better than Floyd but think he does have a chance to win.

Canelo is a much different boxer now than he was against Floyd. He was younger, faster, fresher.

But he is heavier now and Crawford does have some defensive lapses that Canelo could land something big to put him to sleep.
