WBA world featherweight champion Terence Crawford claims that Saul Alvarez wanted to make $150 million dollars for a fight with him.
"Honestly, the Canelo fight was my motivation. If the main thing is business, you do good business. If I'm, as he says, an easy job, why not make the money he's being offered? But still, he wants 200 million dollars for a fight with Benavides and 150 million dollars for a fight with me. So that made me realize that I'm a threat to him and his legacy.
It would be crazy for a guy who started at lightweight to move up to a second middleweight with no interim weight and throw him off his throne. That's why Canelo keeps that thought in his head. It's a big risk for him," said Crawford.
We will remind, earlier Turki Al al-Sheikh said that he gave up the idea of arranging a fight between Alvarez and Crawford
