Canelo will definitely be favoured by the fans. And it is absolutely true that a lot of people know him, even the casual fans as well. But Crawford especially when compared to Canelo is definitely a little less popular in my opinion. But just because we are comparing which fighter is going to have bigger support, does not mean that the fight is not going to be interesting. The fight is really going to be interesting and both of them will be able to bring a lot of people to see this fight. It is I think we can say that this is a much-anticipated fight and the pay-per-view is surly going to be big for this one, if this happens, of course.

It will still Canelo though as the A-side if he decided to fight Crawford.
Because it's obvious that he can still bring fans to whatever stadium is it and so it will result in a good live gate numbers.
Not saying that Crawford can't bring fans, but we all know that he hasn't had that following for casual fans, only hardcore boxing fans are familiar with him.
But the likes of Canelo wherein the whole country is behind it, he is really huge for the last 5 years or so.
And with that, the numbers, PPV and live gate will be very big if ever this fight is going to happen in the next coming months.

Yeah! you're right because this is the right time to make that fight happen cause Crawford is at the peak of his career and popularity which is why they need to look for a bigger stadium next time in order to make it a real historical event in the boxing history. This is how it should be, no drama whatsoever unlike with Spence they took a long time before they finally stepped in the ring. Crawford wants to make it happen, then Canelo should win his fight and then make Crawford's dreams come true.

Yeah, the hypes of Spence vs Crawford are not that much compared with Davis and Garcia. Personal thought is because fans ain't interested
with Spence dramas, it has been long delayed.

Same with you, Canelo's fan based might bring that money plus the fact that interest if how Crawford will try to snatch the belt under Canelos possession.

We need more updates regarding to any possibility of this possible match up to take place,.

I believe Manny is doing this because of Legacy.  Aside from being the 8 Division Champion, the 4 decade bocxng champion and a politician, Manny wanted to get  the Olympic boxing gold medal to add on his collections of achievement.  About the age limit, it was stated that there is no specific age limit for taking part in the Olympic games[1]


I believe he is adding a net worth on himself, reason why he is aiming for the Olympic Gold Medal.  I also think that boosting his popularity is part of the plan why Manny Pacquiao wanted to fight in Olympic aiming for boxing gold medal. 

I do not think Manny's age will be an issue unless the Olympic has set an age limit in boxing.

For sure he is exploring ways to get into the Olympics but for this news to be true it was really crazy, Manny Pacquiao might be bored not doing anything aside from boxing for sure he really wants a legitimate thing to get him into qualifying, for sure this is not about money anymore for competing in an Olympics it is voluntary and for sure Manny Pacquiao if not represent his country he just wants to fight,


For sure It is not to boost his popularity just like Mike Tyson everybody that sees him will surely notice him instantly For sure it is your 2nd guess that he really misses boxing so much and that he is weakening whenever he is not training and fighting inside the ring, for me Manny Pacquiao can do what he pleases but for sure with proper rules to follow but if he is not qualified to fight for the Olympics then I think Sparring is great for her for sure,

We thought that the Crawford vs Spence might be a much bigger fight than Garcia vs Davis but when it comes to PPV buys, their digits aren't really close to somehow chase the latter's fight on what they did. But yes, I agree, if ever a Crawford vs Canelo fight will happen, there is a good chance that it will be much bigger than them and it could be the biggest fight of the decade as well. How's that?

What I think is that a Tank Davis vs. Canelo is a good fight, the best there can be, but I also think that the best thing is that there is a fight between Cnaelo and Crawford, first because what Crawford did was a great feat, it is something spectacular and I think most of them liked it.

Just thinking that the fight with Crawford was so painful for him, for seeking the fight against Spence, is something that I admire a lot, because I remember how on some occasions even in the articles Crawfoer appeared asking Spence for a rematch, and Spence believed that he had God grabbed by the beard, then he is a person who suffered for a few years to be able to get the fight against Spence, I don't know if it was even because of the clause that Spnecne had to fight, which I don't like, because a boxer must be willing to give revenge, for the simple reason that that's what boxing is about, so when we think about boxing, we must think about revenge, it's normal, so it cost him a lot, and as I said before, Spence believed he was invincible, and Only when the fight took place, Crawford made a difference to a Spence who until the last moment in his face already felt like a winner, so this is what we can see that a boxer, the longer he gives to a rematch, is but, because the boxer will be very attentive to making the training harder, while the other is confident, then they don't have that spirit like Tyson's in his best times, who said that he stops and at 4 am he was already thundering and they told him that As he did, he got up at 4am to run, and he said that at 4am he was already running and if he found out that his opponents stopped earlier, then he would stop to run at 2am, that if it was necessary not to sleep Well, he would do it, so this is worthy of thinking that he did know what he was getting into.

For that reason, boxers today should have that thought about the sport, which is why I am very inclined to believe that the best fight will be Canelo vs. Crawford whenever and whenever Canelo accepts.

I don't think there is drama needed though for Canelo fight. Yes, it will sell if there is something that we boxing fans can talk about, to hype the fight. But if there is none, it will still sell. In his fight against Charlo, we haven't heard any trash talking specially in the side of Charlo as he respects Canelo and maybe that is their game plan.

But we boxing fans can't wait to see that fight. On the other hand, Charlo says that he had been building for years to fight Canelo because he wanted to test himself against the best and beat him. And on Canelo's part, his critics says that he is on the sunset of his career and can't pull the trigger anymore. So he wanted to proved his doubters wrong in this fight.

Legit and if they continue the drama in bringing more interest with the potential fight between Canelo and Crawford, they may bring more money and possibly to break the outcome of Garcia vs Davis, seems to me that it's just part of hypes trying to gain interest and if there are many responses from fans and readers, we might see negotiations and more topic about it.

Canelo's influenced still on and with that previous win from Crawford he will also bring people's interest and can be converted to tickets sales.

Canelo is the cash cow of boxing still, only boxer that kind of rival him as far as bringing fans to their seat is Ryan Garcia and Tank Davis. And that's why we've the two fought, it was the biggest fight of this year.

But for sure, if Canelo vs. Crawford pushes for next year, there will be a lot of maybe casual fans that are interested and intrigue by the match and it could produce millions of revenue in the PPV alone. So yeah, the Canelo hype is still here although his last fight by standards against Ryder is way below what is expected.

Most likely it was because of his confident win over Crawford, plus he and his team might see something in Canelo specially after the John Ryder fight.
Funny thing is that there are a lot of individuals in the boxing community that say Crawford can win. I say funny because one of them is his former manager Oscar dela Hoya.
But we all know where Oscar is coming from, and it seems that he is still hurt when Canelo severe his tie with him.
Seriously though, it boils down on the result of the Charlo against Canelo fight.
If Canelo wins, then maybe we can see his fighting Crawford next.

I agree with that. Canelo surely knows how to make people attracted even if the fight is still an idea, the fact that it's not yet declared, he will do something to make the people interested towards it so that they can generate as much money as possible and if they can build enough hype then that is the time where they will make it into a reality.

Next step is to market the fight but since we're talking about a future Canelo vs Crawford fight. I don't think that they really needed to market it because people will surely look forward in seeing that fight as there is also a chance that a history will happen again. Well, considering that Crawford will win.

Crawford displaying this kind of guts and confident towards the whole boxing industry, it truly gives us a hard time to even doubt what he's thinking because we know that he wouldn't jump into cases that he knows he got only less chance in winning. And so I know that if he wanted to take this road then he sure do knows what he is doing, and we should trust them for that.

I even have some thought that he may have an upper hand against a man who literally owns and dominate his own weight class, Canelo Alvarez.

It's all part of Canelo's plan including that one where he seemed not interested because there's no benefit for him if he will fight Crawford but in reality, it's the opposite thing because he just wanted to make the people more hungry and thirsty so that their fight will be a headline for sure. And while that statement is true, Canelo should know his position mainly now that boxers in this industry are already looking at him down as he was showing some signs of weakness lately.

And if I were Canelo and knows personally that there is nothing goin on aside from getting older in the daily basis, then I'd say that I'll be happy to accept their invitation if they are really that interested because either way, it's a win-win situation and a huge paycheck for me is waiting, and lastly, the last laugh will always belong to me.

Crawford is enjoying the popularity he has now, and he wants to aim for a bigger challenge to become even more popular. He is not even thinking about his disadvantage; probably, as other boxers might just challenge a champion in a catchweight. However, Crawford is different; he wants to go up three weight divisions higher just to face the champion. I like the confidence of Crawford right now, as he leaves Canelo with no excuses for not taking this fight.

So, after Canelo beats Charlo, I think this fight will start to hype.

Good point, as we know that it's more on business and if the price is right, both fighters will be convinced to take one another, I think if Canelo will take this fight and win Crawford's hype will turned to him, I mean the current popularity of Crawford after beating Spence will go all the way to Canelo, and from that point, there's more money to expect whoever will be the next fighter to challenge him.

All will be depend on how the negotiation will work and what are the conditions between these two camps, but there's nothing wrong to expect if the fight will take place.

Looks like Logan Paul’s fiancée managed to get the court to grant her a restraining order against Dillon Danis. This should stop all the picture posting that Danis has been doing on twitter (X). It’s a pretty embarrassing thing for everyone involved but for Dillon it probably hurts as he can no longer use her to get views and getting paid via social media ads.

I am going to agree with @Yamifoud that this fight is going to be beneficial for Canelo. So he should definitely take the fight. The fight is also going to generate a lot of money. I believe that is going to improve his popularity a lot more. He is surly going to get a highlight reel if he takes the fight. Crawford is not going to be good enough to beat him in my opinion.

But I actually think that this is going to be good for both the fighters as they are getting a lot of money. Even for Crawford I don’t think he has anything to lose. He is going to get a good amount of money anyway. And if he loses it will be actually expected by a lot of people.

Canelo should take that opportunity, as Crawford is at a big disadvantage if he moves up just to fight him. Take the win and earn a lot of money; that's good for him. He also has a big chance to destroy Crawford's dream of becoming an undisputed champion again. One thing that this fight guarantees is that both fighters are going to make a lot of money, so there's no reason this would not happen.
