The final press conference before Canelo Álvarez and Terence “Bud” Crawford settle it in the ring had all the tension you’d expect from two future Hall of Famers — but this time, I made sure to put them on the spot with questions that cut deeper than the usual fight-week chatter.
For Canelo, I asked whether he’s more proud of the belts and legendary nights in the ring — or the business empire he’s built as the only active fighter to ink blockbuster deals across every major promoter and platform. And for Crawford, I pressed him on his now-famous line about “getting active,” first dropped at the Errol Spence weigh-in, asking him to break it down for Canelo’s fanbase ahead of the biggest fight of his career.
