Overview

• Early markets list a prospective rematch with Crawford a -200 favorite over Alvarez at +170, with bets contingent on the fight occurring before the end of 2026.
• Reporting pegs combined purses near $200 million, including at least $100 million for Alvarez, a total that nearly matches the UFC roster’s 2025 earnings to date.
• Netflix’s global stream drew widely cited estimates ranging from about 36.6 million to 41 million viewers, described as among the biggest audiences for a men’s title fight this century.
• Crawford has not named a next opponent and his trainer Brian “BoMac” McIntyre dismissed a David Benavidez bout for now.
• Cross-sport talk escalates as UFC champion Ilia Topuria exchanges posts with Crawford, while Crawford’s past refusal of a proposed $200 million two-fight deal with Conor McGregor underscores his stance against entering MMA.
