Canelo Rebuts Max Kellerman Over Dana White Praise at Final Press Conference

Kellerman says the sport’s U.S. footprint has shrunk under a fragmented, pay‑per‑view model, calling for a single organizing force.

Overview

  • At the Canelo AlvarezTerence Crawford final press conference, Alvarez interrupted Max Kellerman to insist that boxing is "always bigger."
  • Kellerman called Dana White the greatest combat‑sports promoter of his lifetime and said an NBA/NFL‑style institution could be built for boxing.
  • The crowd booed Kellerman’s praise of White, while Crawford voiced support for Alvarez’s stance during the exchange.
  • Speaking to media afterward, Kellerman argued that Mexican and Mexican‑American fans have sustained boxing in North America as U.S. mainstream interest declined.
  • Kellerman floated Turki Alalshikh, White and executive Nick Khan as potential collaborators for centralized leadership, though no formal plan was announced.
