Boxing champion Terence Crawford and ex-UFC champion Kamaru Usman recently debated fighter pay. Ever since the UFC began growing in popularity, there have been discussions about fighter pay. While some have attempted to form a union, every effort has ended in failure. Save for a few stars such as Conor McGregor or Jon Jones, most fighters struggle to get big paydays. Some, including Kamaru Usman, have argued that the sport pays better on average than boxing. However, boxers obviously get paid more at the top level.

Former two-weight UFC champion Conor McGregor nearly fought boxing star Terence Crawford. ‘The Notorious’ is no stranger to the world of professional boxing.

Since then, McGregor has been linked to several other high-profile boxers.

Four-division boxing champion Terence Crawford believes Canelo Alvarez is avoiding him. ‘Bud’ is fresh off his return to the boxing ring over the weekend in California. Back for the first time since a destructive knockout of Errol Spence Jr. last summer, Terence Crawford faced Israil Madrimov.

The Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov boxing fight delivered in the ring, but struggled to produce results financially outside of it. Combat sports journalist Kevin Iole reported earlier this week that the Crawford vs. Madrimov card, promoted by Matchroom Boxing, experienced around $10 million in losses. Crawford eked out a decision win over the heavy underdog Madrimov to move to 41-0.

Terence Crawford may have been in a competitive fight with Israil Madrimov, but “Bud” insists it wasn’t his toughest challenge to date. Crawford’s WBA junior-middleweight title fight against Madrimov was a bit of a mystery going in.

Former unified welterweight champion Terence Crawford will be returning to the boxing ring in August. The man known as ‘Bud’ has become one of boxing’s biggest stars. A former unified light welterweight champion, Terence Crawford moved up in weight in 2018. Over the next five years, he would dominate, and earn all the titles there as well. Last July, Crawford made history in a long-awaited clash against Errol Spence Jr.

Fernando Quiles Jr. - October 1, 2023

Canelo Alvarez isn’t exactly onboard with the idea of a “super fight” against Terence Crawford for now. Alvarez and Jermell Charlo made history on September 30. It was the first time two undisputed male champions met inside the ring in the four-belt era. Charlo hung in tough, but the bottom line is the power of Canelo was too much for the “Iron Man.” As for Charlo’s power, it didn’t translate moving up two weight classes.

Terence Crawford didn’t mind adding insult to injury following Jermell Charlo’s loss to Canelo Alvarez. Charlo challenged Canelo for the undisputed super middleweight championship of boxing. Many wondered if Charlo could maintain his punching power since he was moving up two weight classes. Ultimately, he never landed a shot that gave Canelo pause during the fight. This allowed the Mexican superstar to march forward and cut the ring off.
