Crawford Reveals Amount Canelo Wants for Fight

Two-time undisputed world champion American Terence Crawford commented on the public spat between Saul Alvarez and Turki Al ash-Sheikh. The former said that he doesn't need a fight against Crawford, which Turki wants to organize for him. The latter - that Saul doesn't want to fight strong opponents.

"You know, it's wild and makes me laugh - what Canelo does and says in the media. About size and everything.

But Canelo has been fighting smaller guys his entire career. Canelo fought a smaller Mayweather. Canelo fought a smaller Amir Khan. Jermell Charlo.

I'm sure he didn't make enough money with all these guys except Mayweather. Even Berlanga, who he's going to fight now. At the same time, he has a lot of excuses for not taking the fight against me.

If it's all about business, then do business. If I'm an easy job, then why not take the money they offer you? But he wants 200 million for Benavidez. He wants 110 million to fight me.

He just knows that I'm a threat. To him, to his legacy. Because it's crazy that a fighter who started at lightweight would fight at super middleweight. No catchweight or anything like that.

He understands that on the one hand, he can punch, he can move, that's all. But on the other hand, he could lose to me. And what would his fans think of him? What would the Mexicans think of him? So it's a big risk for him.

I don't look at it as disrespect to me. On the contrary, I consider it as respect in my direction,” Crawford said

In his previous fight, Crawford defeated Israel Madrimov and became world champion in the fourth weight category – this time according to the WBA and WBO versions. Turki said that he wants to see Terence Canelo or Virgil Ortiz as his next opponent.
