Canelo’s Skullman New Bar: Inflate Crawford’s Value

Ade Oladipo will be offering you something you want to enjoy with Canelo Alvarez, who will fight William Scull on May 3rd, next May 3rd, to Terence Crawford next September. That’s how to make Canelo Crawford artificially bigger. The Fighting Skull guarantees that whatever Canelo’s next is, even if it’s not really, it’s huge.

Artificial elevation

If Canelo fights Jake Paul on May 3 and is seen by 50 million viewers, then the Mexican star’s face-off against Crawford in September would be a massive drop-off. Fans who have far fewer fights will see the fight as Crawford is poorly promoted for his event.

Canelo could have forgotten the Skull forever and focused on the Jake Paul fight in May, and many more fans could have seen it. If Crawford seems small afterwards compared, that’s what happens when you fight someone who isn’t popular. That happens if Canelo fights other unpopular fighter jets. You can’t try to make your battle look bigger by fighting lesser known people.

The real problem is that Canelo vs Crawford is not the “big battle” that Turki al-Sheikh thinks about. He is a Crawford fan, but casual around the world hasn’t seen him fight as he’s a pure boxer and not an exciting bluffer for his entire career.

The fantasy of demand

“I think it’s going to get bigger in terms of Canelo. If you fight Jake Paul, Crawford’s fight gets smaller in terms of eyeball,” Ade Oladipo said. Ariel x ade It would have been bigger than the Terence Crawford battle on September 13 on the Dazn Boxing YouTube channel, which talks about whether Canelo Alvarez fought Jake Paul on May 3rd.

“I like the idea of ​​building it (rather than building it) at Crawford. When you fight the Skull, it becomes smaller. You beat the Skull and it’s no longer controversial, so now Crawford is the first one. History could be made to become a triple, uncontroversial champion.

“I don’t mind the indisputable fight (Canelo vs. Skull) and you go to Crawford. Then Crawford has the chance to become indisputable. Jake Paul and In contrast, I like the story. Yes, there are more eyes than Jake Paul and Crawford. I almost feel that Jake Paul is covering Crawford a bit, and that’s what That’s something I don’t like.”

That sounds like a misguided view, but Canelo Claudeford’s Claudeford’s 3rd May, not a much bigger fight with Jake Paul, but rather a no-name IBF paper champion William Skull. It sounds like they’re trying to make the fight look artificially bigger.

Due to his lack of popularity with casual boxing fans from Nebraska, if Crawford isn’t a good fight in itself, he can’t support it by having a terrible fight with Skull. Canelo fights Jake and is better seen by 50 million Netflix fans, Paul’s Instagram followers and YouTube subscribers, fans over 20 years old.

If Crawford lacks popularity to measure, that’s his problem, but it’s stupid to bring Albatross to fight the Skull to make a circus match with the talent look bigger.

The fantasy of demand

“With William Skull, we’re all waiting for it to become Crawford,” Ade said. “The problem is, Jake Paul says, ‘My fight is big.’ We’re building this as boxing fans that Canelo Crawford is the biggest of 2025. Jake Paul said, “You beat me, but there was the biggest fight of 2025. The second biggest. I had the biggest fight.”

“I don’t think boxing fans want that. I want to say Canelo-Crawford is the biggest thing. Suddenly, it’s going to be Jake Paul vs Canelo. He (Jake) will troll for years. .”

Boxing fans want to see the most entertaining battle. That’s not Canelo vs Skull. It’s a bad fight. If you see Skull’s final battle with Vladimir Shishkin, you’ll see that this guy doesn’t rate him as being in PPV. He took a big step away from Canelo’s last two poor enemies, Edgar Berlanga and Jaime Munguia.
