Why Terence Crawford has to face fighters like Benavidez and Bivol without external subsidies to justify their high salary

Terence Crawford says he is now the “boxing face” after his unanimous decision of 12 rounds from the knife to Canelo Alvarez last weekend in Las Vegas.

With this title given to him, he will probably want the type of salary that Canelo (63-3-2, 39 kos) has regularly received in recent years.

For example, in his defense of the title of his indisputable half -weight championship against Crawford last Saturday, Mexcan’s star received a rumor monitor to be $ 150 million. Instead, Crawford is said to have obtained $ 50 million.

The question is: Turki Alralikh and other promoters will be willing to pay Crawford (42-0, 31 ko) the type of money has received Canelo? Terence’s performance against Alvarez and his opponent before that, Israil Madrimov, was not exciting to see.

He involved a lot of Crawford’s movement and a few shots here and there. The only round of the struggle where Crawford was at any point was the ninth, and that was briefly.

The combatants below the burial, Christian Mbilli and Lester Martinez, were much more entertained to see in my opinion. They put it on the line. We didn’t see it from Crawford. Therefore, to be the face of the boxing, it is necessary to entertain -and Crawford moved away from this brand against Canelo and Madrimov.

“Canelo is a great time. It’s the last. There’s no more caneal,” Crawford said Ring Magazine. “When you look around, you say,” I am the caneal. “ I’m the boxing face ‘ Now. I am the best free fighter in the world, as I have always been. “”

Crawford is the boxing face? Without Turki Alralikh, I don’t think Crawford wins instead of the same type of money he has received in his last two fights on Turki’s letters. Which promoter would you pay for Crawford heading the PPV events that hemorrhage money when the income do not match what you paid?

Without Turki, Crawford should take much more risks than has been fighting the boys that his coach, Brian ‘Bomac’ Mcintyre, ruled out last Sunday as options to fight below, David Benavidez and Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis. These are the types of fights that Crawford would be forced to fight if he wanted to make money without Alralikh, subsidizing his career. These fighters:

• Dmitry bivol
• David Benavidez
• David Morrell

The movement used by Crawford against Canelo last Saturday would not be enough to play to keep it away from the three previous fighters. I think they would often reach him enough to get his pound of meat.

Again, these would be the types of fighters that Crawford should face if Turki Alralikh was not involved in his career, allowing him to fight boys like Madrimov and a faded channel instead of the riskiest struggles against younger fighters.

“All the time, They blocked me, He said he would not fight anyone. I can’t overcome this guy. Each time I had the opportunity, I wiped the floor with them “ said Crawford to Post-Lluita Press Conference Last Saturday.

“So, imagine where it would be today if he had obtained these opportunities a long time ago,” said Crawford.

It seems that Bud is Playing the victim Here, bitter for no reason and not seeing the reality of his career. If Crawford wanted opportunities for great fights, it should have passed to 154, 160 or 168 before his career when he waited for the parties he wanted in 147. This was the only division that Crawford had to wait for fights.

Crawford was not stopped at 135 or 140. No lock was made in Crawford by lightweight and lightweight. He fought against the world champions Ricky Burns and Julius undongo.

Crawford did not “dry the ground with Israil Madrimov, nor did he did it with Canelo Alvarez. Those were not a single face. In both contests, Terence won by a couple of 115-113 scores and an Oddball 116-112. They were very close fights that involved a lot of Crawford’s movement, which fought much of the timid time due to the benefits of power due to the benefits of power due to the benefits of power due to the benefits of power. Madrimov and Canelo had on him.

Because Crawford has captured two undisputed championships to 140 and 147, he Surely he was given opportunities. Its old promoters were put in place to fight for these world titles to become four -belts champion in Light Welterweight and Welterweight.

If Crawford did not give him the possibilities of great fights, he would have been blocked to fight for these belts.

The other thing is that the reason Crawford did not get the fights he initially wanted at 147, which is the only division that was forced to wait for opportunities, is because he was with a different promoter.

Bud was with the first place, while the fighters he wanted to face, Shawn Porter, Jaron Ennis, Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia, were with PBC. He wanted to fight Manny Pacquiao, but his goal focused more on fighting the most popular fighters, with the two with the maximum. Crawford has never been a popular fighter with the main fans for two reasons:

• Reserved personality: Crawford has never been a big speaker who attracts the attention of boxing fans like other fighters who are talking about to get fans to see them fight.
• Boxing style slides: Fans prefer to see that the fights they encounter and trade with their opponents, not the boxers who hit and work. Crawford’s last Saturday’s performance against Canelo Alvarez was a perfect example because TV has never been a must. Crawford spent much of the struggle moving around the ring, without gluing and trying not to hit. In a word, he was boring, especially compared to the subcontract between Christian Billi and Lester Martinez.
