Canelo Alvarez Reveals Jake Paul Stance; Sends Cold Warning To Terence Crawford

Speaking to Fox Sports Deportes, Alvarez said (translated), "I'm not going to fight for money. It doesn't make me richer or poorer, so I'm not interested. Maybe we could see each other at some point, but for now, I like these big fights (Terence Crawford). They fill me with pride."

Canelo also sent a vicious warning to Crawford, saying, "Everything about the fight is incredible. I want to continue making history, and Crawford (Terence) will feel the true power of my fists."

Ahead of his May 3 fight against William Scull, Canelo claimed that the time is not right for him to fight Paul yet, saying:

You need to play your cards. I won't even call that a fight. It's an event for me. But it's not the moment.

Jake Paul, meanwhile, claimed that Turki Alalshikh threatened Canelo out of a fight against him, saying, "Basically, they threatened to pull Canelo's $300 million contract if he were to fight me. That's how bad they want me out of boxing."

He added, "They can't stand that I am the one doing the biggest events. So they threatened to pull his $300 million contract if he was to fight me. So, I understand where Canelo was coming from and wanting to secure the bread for his family."

Jake Paul's Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford prediction

The boxing world is buzzing about Canelo vs Crawford and Paul has already shared his prediction for the fight. 'The Problem Child' hailed both fighters quality but foresaw a boring 12-round snoozefest, telling FightHype, "Obviously, Crawford is a great fighter, Canelo is a great fighter. We just saw them coming off some boring a** fights. They're probably just gonna sit there and dance for 12 rounds."
