Factor Jake Paul

Canelo can make a lot more money twice against Jake Paul, then focus on the fight against David Benavidez or Arthur Beterbiev. The fight between Canel and these two popular fighters would bring a lot more to buying PPV than the one against Crawford.
Canel’s capabilities
Canelo has a few better options available to make money from fighting Crawford. Moreover, Alvarez would not be merit of beating because it moves in two grades of weight. Fans will not respect this because Crawford decided not to move to 168 to prove yourself first by running the mini-gauntlet through these three killers:
- David Benavidez
- David Morrell
- Diego Pacheco
What could be a clinch is that Crawford had already made it clear that he would follow the draft Mayweather box and movement to prevent Canelo from landing his hits. That would be such a boring struggle, and the Mexican star probably doesn’t want to chase a runner in 12 rounds.
