Canelo vs. Jake “Done Deal” for May 5 on May 3?

According to the reports, Canelo Alvarez vs. Jake Paul is a “Made Deal” For May 5, which will occur on May 3 in Las Vegas in Allegiant Stadium or the T-Mobile Arena. It has not yet been made official, but it is said that it is made.

Did I deal?

Cynthia Conte reports the audience that Canelo-Paul’s fight is a treatment made. She did not say the weight because it is an obstacle to overcome.

Jake (11-1, 7 kos) is a cruise weight. He weighed 227 pounds when he fought for the last time in heavy against Mike Tyson on November 15 of last year. If Canelo (62-2-2, 39 kos) insists on the fight that takes place in 175 pounds or lower, Paul would have to fall a lot of weight, which probably left him too demacrated to fight.

Yesterday, it was reported that Canelo vs. Terence Crawford is already out. No explanation was given, but it is rumored that Turki al-Sheikh did not want to organize his event in 2025 and make him bring numbers much lower than the Canelo-Paul event.

Social networks muscle

Jake is much better known than Terence Crawford due to his 27.7 million Instagram followers and 20.8 YouTube subscribers. In comparison, Crawford has 2 million Instagram followers. Mathematics.

If you are Canelo, would you prefer to fight with a guy like Crawford, where you are going to be the one that brings all the attention to the fight due to your millions of fans, or would you prefer to face Jake Paul, which is possibly more popular in social networks in the social networks ?

Money conversations

When he adds to that the fact that Crawford is expected to continue the Mayweather Boxing Plan and moving for 12 rounds, it is obvious that Alvarez would select Jake as his next opponent. Canelo will not receive credit for fighting any of them, but at least in the case of Jake, he will earn so much money that is worth it for fans.
