“Your tickets are exhausted!” – Terence Crawford questions Canelo Álvarez why his rematch against Errol Spence is on the preliminary billboard
The undisputed champion Terence Crawford did not keep anything when he learned that his expected revenge against Errol Spence Jr. has been placed on the preliminary billboard of an event headed by Canelo Álvarez himself. With a mixture of disbelief and discomfort, “Bud” launched a direct question to the Mexican champion:
“Why is my fight on your preliminary billboard? My tickets run out faster than yours!”
Crawford vs. Spence II: A fight that deserves a main event
The first fight between Crawford and Spence, held in July 2023, was one of the most anticipated in the decade and ended with a dominant victory of Crawford by technical knockout in the ninth assault. Now, the rematch is a fact, but the fact that it does not lead its own event has generated controversy.
According to reports, the revenge has been placed on the preliminary billboard of a night in which Canelo Álvarez will face David Benavidez. This decision has generated an angry reaction of fans and, especially, of Crawford, who considers that his fight should have the status of star event.
Canelo responds with elegance
So far, Canelo has not responded directly to Crawford’s comment, but sources close to the Mexican champion indicate that his team considers that the fight between Crawford and Spence is still “great, but not enough to eclipse the magnitude of a fight between Canelo and Benavídez.”
Who is right?
The debate has turned on social networks. On the one hand, Crawford’s followers argue that he is the undisputed champion and that his fight against Spence is of such a caliber that he deserves his own event. On the other hand, Canelo fans believe that the Mexican is still the largest boxing star in terms of payment sales per event and sand assistance.
With pride at stake and the rivalry between Crawford and Spence more intense than ever, the situation has only increased the expectation for its revenge. However, the big question remains: should this fight be the main event of the night?
What do you think? Does Crawford are right to demand the main event status, or Canelo remains the largest name of boxing?
