Terence Crawford is back in the ring tonight, looking to take over a new weight class.

Arguably the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, Crawford is a three-division world champion and has twice been undisputed. In his most recent fight, Crawford dominated former unified world champion Errol Spence to become undisputed at welterweight.

After a rematch failed to materialize, Crawford turned to the 154-pound division and its WBA champion, Israil Madrimov. Madrimov is undefeated and will be defending the title for the first time, after winning it in March with a fifth round TKO of undefeated contender Magomed Kurbanov.

Terence Crawford vs Israil Madrimov fight live updates: How to watch

“The challenge of moving to 154 and fighting Madrimov is a hill that you have to climb,” Brian McIntyre, Crawford’s trainer, said. “I know that the team and everybody around the team want(s) challenges like that so you can say we are the best out there. We have solidified that over the years.”

Riyadh Season has reached Los Angeles and on Saturday night (6 p.m. ET, ESPN+ PPV), Terence Crawford (40-0, 31 KOs) faces WBA super welterweight champion Israil Madrimov (10-0-1, 7 KOs) in a highly anticipated bout at BMO Stadium. For most fighters, moving up in weight to capture another title is a career-defining feat. For Crawford, who has already held titles in three divisions, it has become almost routine.

Crawford, known for his exceptional fight IQ and technical ability, faces Madrimov, a naturally bigger and stronger opponent. While Crawford told Yahoo Sports he is confident in his body’s readiness to compete at 154 pounds, some believe he may be underestimating the risk. Madrimov’s trainer, Joel Diaz, suggested that Crawford, who began his pro career in 2009 at super lightweight, could face more danger than anticipated against a solid 154-pound fighter like Madrimov. At BetMGM, Crawford is a -600 favorite to defeat Madrimov, who is at +450.

Israil Madrimov Vs Terence Crawford - August 3rd! + STACKED UNDERCARD -  YouTube

Madrimov is eager for a breakthrough and sees the Crawford bout as a chance to transform his and his family’s lives. Crawford, however, insists he’s focused on fighting the best, not just setting up future paydays against stars like Canelo Alvarez.

A victory for Crawford would further solidify his legacy, potentially earning him a fourth world title in as many weight classes. As “Bud” continues to gain recognition beyond hardcore boxing fans, a win on this star-studded Riyadh Season card could elevate his profile even further.

A win this weekend for Isaac Cruz could prove huge for the “Pitbull”.

It hasn’t been too long since Gervonta Davis‘ last fight, but the boxing world wants to know what “Tank” is going to do next. Another show-stopping knockout victory, this time against Frank Martin, once again proved that Davis is arguably the most dangerous fighter on the planet.

That would generally make it difficult to find him a willing opponent, although Shakur Stevenson continues to claim that he’s fully ready to negotiate and get the possible mega-fight done. There are still plenty of obstacles to clear for that to happen, which could pave way for others to enter the fray.

Isaac Cruz vs Tank Davis rematch coming in November?

According to the VP of Communications at Haymon Sports, who lead Davis’ promotion company PBCIsaac Cruz could find himself in a rematch with Davis later this year.

I think Tank’s date is November. I guess that’s a possibility if Pitbull comes through his fight unscathed. The timing works out… I would like to see him in a rematch. I would really like to see him and Pitbull go at it again, with Tank not having a hand injury or anything like that. I thought it was one of his toughest fights. Just to see how that would be with him at full strength.”

‘Money’ Mayweather is nearing 50, but he lives a clean lifestyle.

And he may continue to fight these big budget exhibition matches well into his 50s, according to the President of The Money Team, James McNair.

At 47 years old, Mayweather is confidently hanging with fighters nearly half his age. They may be considerably bigger like Logan Paul was, but Mayweather is an encyclopedia when it comes to boxing. His effortless footwork and punch delivery is a supremely-crafted work of art, and combined with his disciplined lifestyle, he looks primed to compete for many more years.

Smartly, after turning the page on pro-fights, Mayweather and his team have committed to spreading his brand to YouTube generation audiences.

 

Gervonta Davis is 30-0 with 28 knockouts, and he really doesn’t have much else to prove. He’s one of the most dangerous fighters in the sport, which makes it tough for him to find willing high-profile opponents.

Now, the key for Tank is to find a way to become undisputed. It’s a tough path to go on considering he only has the WBA belt and the other three major world titles belong to three different fighters.

Step one would be to unify, and that’s exactly what Eddie Hearn is sure Davis will do next.

 

With IBF champion Vasiliy Lomachenko taking some time to himself and Denys Berinchyk not a big enough name yet, there’s only one option for Tank in Hearn’s eyes: Shakur Stevenson.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tank against Shakur because: situations and circumstances are everything. Tank’s got all his eggs in his basket for a Lomachenko fight, then that falls through. You’re really left holding your d**k at that point going: ‘Who am I gonna fight?’ Boom, Shakur’s a free agent, he’s ready to do a deal. Timing’s everything.

However, this is not the case.

Stevenson took to social media to respond to these rumours, tweeting: “This is fake.”

Davis shortly beforehand tweeted a picture of a cap, also suggesting the news wasn’t true.

The fight may yet materialise with talks believed to be quietly ongoing.

As things stand though, it’s clear no deal is done.

The news that Lomachenko was walking away from negotiations to fight Davis certainly shocked the boxing world.

It’s understood talks between long-time promotional rivals Bob Arum’s Top Rank (who promote Lomachenko) and Al Haymon’s PBC (who represent Davis) were going well.

However, the Ukrainian himself decided to step away from the negotiations.

Bob Arum speaks on why Gervonta Davis vs. Shakur Stevenson is not feasible  - "We're not gamblers"

“Loma is not in the mood right now,” his manager Egis Klimas told boxing reporter Steve Kim, “He doesn’t have the motivation at the moment.

“He’s taking off, he wants to spend more time with the family.

“He doesn’t want to do anything until the end of the year.

“So he’s definitely not coming to the ring until the end of the year.”

Regarding the fact Lomachenko is walking away from a mega money fight, Klimas added: “With Loma, just money is not what motivates him. He doesn’t take anything just because of money.

“You can offer him millions, tens of millions of dollars – if he doesn’t have motivation, he’s not ready to prepare for the fight.”

How much money did boxing legend Floyd Mayweather generate on Pay Per View throughout his remarkable boxing career?

World Boxing News has crunched the numbers regarding the actual takings Mayweather banked without taking anything away to make purse payments or event costs.

Mayweather amassed an incredible amount of cash throughout his career and continues totaling at least eight figures every time he steps into the ring. This will continue on August 24 when he fights John Gotti III in a rematch on Mexican soil.

Floyd Mayweather’s career PPV earnings
There’s long been an insistence from his team or the media that ‘Floyd Mayweather is boxing’s first billion-dollar man.’ Well, WBN can reveal that this is undeniably not the case. Mayweather is at least the sport’s first Billion-Dollar Man three times over if you take all the money from every sale of his PPV fights and add it together.

Floyd Mayweather made $1.8 billion in sales in the United States alone. His three billion at the worldwide box office proves he’s on his own in the paid platform stakes. Pay Per View buys featuring the five-weight king since his debut on the platform in 2005 at an average purchase price of $75; you’d even come to numbers north of $1.8 billion in US revenue.

Then, if you consider Mayweather’s other career purses and contract factors, the amount easily surpasses the two-billion-dollar mark in the United States alone. Worldwide sales of every event in hundreds of countries certainly exceed three and possibly into four, depending on how deep you delve.

It’s quite a dumbfounding statistic, and Mayweather has at least one billion in his pocket. Floyd’s Showtime contract alone made over one billion dollars from 14 million total buys [if you include Conor McGregor]. – If you use these WBN quotes, please link back to the source: https://www.worldboxingnews.net/2024/07/30/floyd-mayweather-ppv-career-billions/

Mayweather’s money-making numbers
The numbers are staggering. Most of which can add another 500 to 800k for worldwide distribution. Nobody has been generating those numbers since the days of closed-circuit TV without the home box office angle.

If you consider that Mayweather took several breaks during his tenure, some lasting over a year, the final total could have been over five billion dollars. Mayweather is and was money, no matter how you look at it.

Next month, at the age of 47, Mayweather will do it again, knowing that he only has to promise the fans a fight to put another huge check in the safe. Despite his ‘Heist Tour’ failing to materialize, Mayweather doesn’t need it. He can pick and choose when and who he fights and still does not bat an eyelid when considering the figures.
