Canelo’s Scull Maniouver: Inflating the value of Crawford

Ingo Oldipo favors Canelo Álvarez Fighting William Scull later on May 3 to give fans something to wait and go to Terence Crawford next September. It is a way of making the cinnamon-crawford look bigger. Fight Scull says that what comes next for Canelo is huge, even if it really is not.

Artificial elevation

If Canelo fights with Jake Paul on May 3 and was seen by 50 million viewers, it would be a massive fall for the Mexican star to face Crawford in September. Many less fans would see that fight, and the exaggeration generated would be minimal because Crawford is poor to promote their events.

Canelo would have been better to permanently forget Scull and focus on Jake Paul’s fight in May so that many more fans see it. If Crawford seems small compared to later, that is what happens when you fight against guys that are not popular. It would happen if Canelo struggled against any other unpopular fighter. You cannot try to make the fight seem bigger than it is fighting against someone even less known.

The real problem is that Canelo vs. Crawford is not “the great fight” that Turki al-Sheikh believes it is. Although he is a crawford fan, informal houses worldwide are not to see him fight because he has been a pure boxer all his career and not an exciting toleter.

ILLUSION OF DEMAND

“I think it makes it bigger in terms of Canelo. If you fight against Jake Paul, Crawford’s fight is smaller in terms of eyeball Ariel X Ade On the Dazn Boxing YouTube channel, speaking of whether Canelo Álvarez had fought against Jake Paul on May 3, it would have been larger than Terence Crawford’s fight on September 13.

“I like the idea of ​​accumulating (instead of building) to Crawford. If you fight against Scull, it’s smaller. You hit Scull, you become indisputable, and now there is the possibility that the story is made of Crawford trying to be the first undisputed three -weight champion.

“I don’t care about the undisputed fight (Canelo Vs. Scull), and then you go to Crawford. Then Crawford has the opportunity to become indisputable. I like that story instead of Jake Paul. Yes, I have more eye balloons than Jake Paul and Crawford. I almost feel that Jake Paul Eclipssa a little to Crawford, and that’s what I don’t like. “

That sounds like a wrong vision, trying to make Canelo-Crawford fight look bigger by making Canelo take the name champion of IBF without name William Scull instead of the much larger fight against Jake Paul on May 3 .

If Crawford is not a fight large enough due to the lack of popularity of Nebraska’s native with casual boxing fans, you can’t support him in a terrible fight against Scull. It would have been better for Canelo to take the fight with Jake, be seen by 50 million fans in Netflix and 20+ in Paul’s Instagram followers and YouTube subscribers.

If Crawford lacks popularity to measure, that is his problem, but it is stupid to take the albatros to fight Scull only so that the circus against Terence party looks large compared.

The illusion of demand

“With William Scull, we are all waiting for Crawford to be,” said Ade. “The problem is that Jake Paul will say: ‘My fight is bigger.’ We are building this as boxing fans that Canelo-Crawford is the most important thing in 2025. Jake Paul will say: ‘I won me, but we had the biggest fight of 2025. You vs. Crawford, Canelo, is the third largest or largest third or the second largest.

“I think boxing fans don’t want that. We want to say that Canelo-Crawford is the most important. Suddenly, it will be Jake Paul vs. Canelo is the most important thing. He (Jake) is troll for years. “

Boxing fans want to see the most entertaining fights, and Canelo vs. Scull is not. That is a poor fight. If you saw Scull’s last fight against Vladimir Shishikin, you will know that this guy does not qualify in PPV. It is a great step by the last two poor opponents of Canelo, Edgar Berlanga and Jaime Munguia.
