Turki on Canelo–Crawford: “The Most Expensive Contract in Boxing History”



Head of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority Turki Alalsheikh has shared new details about the bout between Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez (63-2-2, 39 KO) and Terence Crawford (41-0, 31 KO).

“We chose Netflix because it is the largest platform in the world. I’m sure this is only the beginning of a great partnership, a great story. And I promise you—there will be even bigger fights in the future.

Understand that the deal on the table is the most expensive contract in boxing history. I will not disclose the figures—I will leave that to the legends and the fighters,” said Turki.

During their face-off, Canelo also shoved Crawford.

The showdown for the undisputed super-middleweight crown takes place on 13 September at Las Vegas, USA, and will be streamed live on Netflix.
