Terence Crawford Declines $200 Million Two-Fight Deal with Conor McGregor

Crawford refused the offer due to the requirement of an MMA fight, citing concerns over competing in the Octagon.

Terence Crawford turned down a lucrative two-fight deal with Conor McGregor, which included one boxing match and one MMA fight.
The proposal was made by Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority, and was valued at $200 million.
Crawford, a four-division boxing champion, expressed discomfort with participating in an MMA fight due to the potential for kicks and elbows.
Conor McGregor, who has previous boxing experience against Floyd Mayweather, respected Crawford's decision to decline the MMA component.
Both fighters remain open to other opportunities, with Crawford eyeing a possible bout against Canelo Alvarez and McGregor planning a return to UFC in 2025.
