The delusional claim of Terence Crawford: Canelo Fight ‘bigger in the history of boxing’, ignoring the lack of appeal of PPV and the rivalry of Benavész

Terence Crawford says that his fight against Canelo Álvarez in 168 is “the biggest fight in boxing”, larger than a match that involves ‘the Mexican monster’ David Benavidez against Álvarez.

Crawford (41-0, 31 kos) states that every time you get an African-American fighter facing a Mexican, it is “Always the greatest fight in history.“To reinforce his point of view, Bud points out that the 1993 fight between Julio César Chávez and Pernell Whitaker 32 years ago was huge. Using that as an example did not fit. Whitaker and Chavez were popular.

The real problem with Terence’s argument about his fight with Canelo as the “greatest” in sport, bigger than one that involves Benavész, is that It is not a popular Fighter with casual boxing fans. Crawford is only popular among a Hardcore fans segment, and has only had a successful PPV fight throughout his 17 -year -old career. That was against Errol Spence.

“I look at the story. This is an inherited fight, and it is the biggest fight in boxing at this time,” said Terence Crawford to free 4 pounds with Kamaru YouTube Channel and Henry about their fight against Canelo Álvarez on September 13. “Many people could say: ‘We want to see Benavész and Canelo.”

Crawford sounds deceived and desperate for making his fight against Canelo seem more than it is: a pathetic capture of money to deceive the credulous fans of their dough. If this were Legacy, Crawford would have moved up to 168 and put his soft skin on the line against Benavidez, David Morrell and Osleys Iglesias to cut it. This is just money, and it is so painfully obvious that even its half veil can see the truth.

Fan disconnection

“As a boxing fan, it would be a fight to see, but to be real, Canelo vs. Terence Crawford is the biggest fight in today’s boxing. There is no bigger fight around that it is bigger than Canelo-Crawford. 100%, ”Bud said when asked if his fight against Álvarez would be larger than Canelo against David Benavidez.

If Crawford was a PPV star, his last fight against Israil Madrimov would not have failed, bringing 200,000 purchases in Dazn despite having a loaded billboard. Fans don’t care Crawford.

“African-American-Mexico, always make the biggest fights in history, returning to Pernell Whitaker-Chavez (on September 10, 1993),” said Crawford. “It will be electrifying. I can easily fight in Vergil Ortiz, Fundora or whoever wins fast money, but I am looking at the biggest image.

“This is an inherited fight, a generational fight that will be discussed for years. When I have gone, they will speak: ‘Man, do you remember when Crawford reached 168 to fight Canelo, two fighters of the pound per pound in the world in his best, fighting each other’.
