“Bigger Than that (Floyd Mayweather Fight)”- Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford Gets Huge Boost as Netflix Shows Interest

Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford! A showdown that generations would remember. A showdown to determine who is number one. The world can’t wait to see it, and while the fight is still about 6 months away, the hype is already on the moon. Everyone is aware that there are many factors at play in this battle. Twist? Yes. Story? Yes. Potential? Yes. You name it, this fight truly has it all. And because of all those things, Canelo Alvarez reveals the importance of this fight is massive for him. So much so that the 34-year-old describes it as his biggest showdown yet. But wait, hasn’t he had huge fights with Sergey Kovalev and Gennady Golovkin? What about those?

Well, it appears that Canelo Alvarez has forgotten everything and is going all in for this bout. Despite having fought in numerous major battles, the man believes Terence Crawford is his most formidable opponent. And the shocking twist here is Crawford is a bigger opponent for him, more than Floyd Mayweather. Wait, WHAT? Really? Well, Yes, that’s right. The boxer himself cleared these things up in a media appearance, suggesting that his battle with Crawford would generate more income than his match with Mayweather. After all the buzz surrounding this fight, maybe he could be right when he said: “I think it’s gonna be bigger, even the Mayweather fight, it’s gonna be bigger than that (Floyd Mayweather Fight).”

If you recall, Mayweather vs. Alvarez generated 2.2 million pay-per-view (PPV) buys and earned $150 million in income. This was a record-breaking fight in terms of ticket sales, and if there is another fight that can top it, it is this one.

On one corner will be Canelo Alvarez, one of the most powerful fighters of his generation, who weighs 168 pounds and is king of that weight class. And on the other, we’ll have Terence Crawford, who is noted for his speedy nature. And this is why this face-off has such great potential. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Netflix is also looking to broadcast the battle. This company is always looking to earn a big chunk.

After watching the hype, Netflix can broadcast Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford

Netflix is constantly looking for ways to make money as if they are printing it. They recently acquired the broadcasting rights for WWE Raw and are now looking to expand in the boxing industry. According to recent rumors, the business may be attempting to lock in two fights as their future projects. These fights are none other than “Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford and Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury.” But why all of a sudden Netflix has gotten in the broadcasting picture?

Well, after their huge success in 2024, the organization has been heavily focused on the boxing scene. Let me remind you that this was the same year that Netflix aired the epic bout between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. This battle received an average minute audience (AMA) of 108 million viewers globally, making it the most streamed match of all time. There was a lot of buzz surrounding Paul vs. Tyson, but so has the Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford fight.

Crawford is up for a big match, and it will be intriguing to watch how he will handle facing the king of a weight class he has never faced before. But there is still plenty of time, and Canelo Alvarez has one more hurdle. For the time being, Alvarez is scheduled to meet William Scull on May 3, 2025, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Buckle your seatbelts for now to see what the king will do in Riyadh. And stay tuned for more details on the upcoming fight.
