Overview

• Terence Crawford defeated Canelo Álvarez by unanimous decision to become the undisputed super middleweight champion and the first male of the four-belt era to be undisputed in three divisions.
• Promoters and Netflix publicized the bout as the most viewed men’s title fight of this century, a claim based on announced figures rather than independently audited data.
• Reported payouts pegged Álvarez at at least $100 million and the pair near $200 million combined, approaching estimates for the UFC’s entire 2025 roster pay.
• UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria has pushed for a boxing bout with Crawford on social media, and analyst Chael Sonnen said Topuria’s risk-taking could make the crossover possible, though no fight is signed.
• Crawford said he previously rejected a proposed two-fight, $200 million offer tied to Conor McGregor because he would not compete under MMA rules, while pundits urged him away from Jake Paul and floated Chris Eubank Jr. or Paul as options for Álvarez.
