Canelo vs Crawford getting closer..... (wink, wink)

[TitoFan]

Turki Alalshikh wanted Alvarez and Crawford to face each other, and - as he does - he got what he wanted. The cheque-book did the convincing.

Alvarez will earn a reported purse of $150m (£111m). Crawford, long frustrated by smaller purses, will take home at least $10m (£7.4m), with the total pot expected to top $200m.

This fight is the equivalent Hagler v Leonard for me.

Hagler and Leonard were both ATGs, characterized by taking on all comers and all challenges. No marinating... no ducking... no diva bullshit.

The comparison falls apart before it even begins.
