The big fight between the undefeated Terence “Bud” Crawford and Mexican Canelo Alvarez, scheduled for September 13 in Las Vegas, will not only capture the attention of the boxing world because of its magnitude, but also because of growing speculation about Crawford’s future beyond this historic bout. Authoritative voices within his circle, including an influential member of the Mayweather dynasty, suggest that a victory over Canelo could mean the end point of a career.
Despite the importance of the fight, Terence Crawford has kept a low profile regarding his post-fight plans. During a recent Q&A session with fans in Sydney, Australia, “Bud” expressed his total focus on the present: “I don’t eat before I have the food on my table. So right now, I’m at 168 to fight Canelo. And that’s the only thing I’m thinking about right now.”
Jake Paul turns up the heat in training for fight against Chávez Jr.
However, the most blunt statements come from Jeff Mayweather, a renowned trainer and uncle of Floyd Mayweather Jr. In a recent video shared by The Mayweather Channel, Mayweather Sr. made a prediction about Crawford’s fate. “I think if he beats Canelo, I think that will be enough for him.”
When asked if Crawford would retire after a possible victory over Canelo, Jeff Mayweather did not hesitate: “I think so. I think that would probably be one of the greatest achievements in boxing, a guy moving up three weight classes.”
A million-dollar fight
If making boxing history isn’t enough, Terence Crawford will also earn a hefty sum of money for his fight against Canelo Alvarez. The boxer is estimated to earn around $10 million. The figure is so high that it could even be another factor in thinking about retirement.
Despite what Crawford can earn, we must not lose sight of the wealth he possesses from his boxing career, which is estimated to be between $8 and $18 million.
The ‘Canelo factor’
Terence Crawford has a great opportunity against Canelo, as beating the Mexican in a boxing match is not something that goes unnoticed. For Crawford, this fight could mean his retirement, but if he wins, he could also expand his history and career.
Crawford would not only win a new title or a large sum of money, but his image would be boosted and that could give him extra motivation to continue.

Zvažoval jste i jiné varianty, nebo bylo o pokračování v Kometě jasno?Po tom všem, co se tady stalo, nebylo moc o čem. Chtěl jsem se někde usadit a budovat si pozici. Vím, že někteří to mají nastavené v kariéře tak, že je pro ně něco důležitějšího. Pro mě vždy ale byla podstatná Kometa a nechtěl jsem ji odmítat, když přišla možnost hrát v Brně dlouhodobě.Navíc se do týmu vrátil ze zámoří obránce Filip Král, s nímž jste vyrůstal.Znám ho od pěti let. Hučel jsem do něho po tom, co jsem se vrátil do Komety, skoro každý měsíc, ať nevymýšlí blbosti a vrátí se domů. Jsem rád, že to vyšlo a nejde jinam. Je taky super, že to bude další hráč, který má ke klubu vztah.Naopak končí brankář Michal Postava, který podepsal smlouvu s Detroitem. Snažili jste se ho třeba přemlouvat, aby zůstal?Ne.

Flamengo se reunirá com agente de Varela nos Estados Unidos para selar renovação
A diretoria do Flamengo vai aproveitar a Copa do Mundo de Clubes para selar a renovação do contrato do lateral direito Varela por mais duas temporadas, até o fim de 2027. O agente do uruguaio, Uriel Perez, estará nos Estados Unidos e vai se encontrar com os dirigentes rubro-negros, que já deixaram praticamente tudo alinhado para o acordo. Varela tem crescido no clube em 2025 sob o comando de Filipe Luís. E colocado pressão na titularidade de Wesley, inclusive para o início do torneio da Fifa. O lateral uruguaio recebeu sondagens de clubes brasileiros, mas priorizou a renovação com o Flamengo, com uma valorização salarial, depois de negociar valores com o clube. Com chance de perder Wesley na janela de transferências do meio do ano, o Flamengo quer se cercar, já que Varela poderia assinar com outro clube em junho, […]
