Canelo vs. Crawford Set for Sept. 13 on Netflix as Fight Week Kicks Off

TKO's Saudi-backed stadium show spotlights a rare two-division jump alongside a widely reported purse disparity.

Overview

  • The undisputed super-middleweight title bout at Allegiant Stadium will stream exclusively on Netflix with no pay-per-view fee, with main card coverage slated to begin at 9 p.m. ET.
  • Fight-week logistics include grand arrivals, a Thursday press conference and Friday ceremonial weigh-ins, while both headliners will skip open workouts and Canelo will miss Wednesday’s media day.
  • Trainer Eddy Reynoso said he expects Canelo to knock out Crawford and floated Dmitry Bivol as a potential opponent after this bout, offering his view rather than an official plan.
  • Terence Crawford has said he will earn $10 million, whereas multiple reports estimate Canelo’s haul could be far higher through his Riyadh Season deal and event revenues.
  • Sanctioning notes reported for the event indicate Crawford will be introduced as WBA 154-pound titleholder but lose that recognition at the opening bell regardless of outcome.
