Overview

  • Dana White intervened at the final press event to prevent a near-physical altercation between Alvarez and Crawford.
  • Both fighters have completed promotional obligations with Netflix/TKO Boxing, now entrenched in advanced training camps ahead of their September 13 fight.
  • Their showdown at Allegiant Stadium will crown the undisputed super-middleweight champion in the four-belt era and carry a record $200 million purse split $150 million to Alvarez and $50 million to Crawford.
  • Terence Crawford has stated that he is taking the build-up one fight at a time and has yet to decide whether to retire, rematch, or move back to 154 pounds after September 13.
  • Pundits remain divided: Ryan Garcia predicts a Canelo-style knockout, Stephen A. Smith foresees Crawford outpointing Alvarez on the cards, and Vergil Ortiz Jr. attests to Alvarez’s famed durability from sparring sessions.
