Terence Crawford made history once again by becoming a four-weight champion. He earned a unanimous decision victory over Israil Madrimov in a close, hard-fought bout on Saturday, capturing the WBA super welterweight title. Crawford, fighting at 154 pounds for the first time, claimed the WBA super welterweight title with judges’ scores of 116-112, 115-113, and 115-113. The bout was so important that both fighters probably made big paydays for their respective roles in the event.
Terence Crawford won roughly $10 million for defeating Errol Spence Jr. in July 2023, according to Nyfights. However, there is no official report on the Crawford vs. Madrimov payouts. It is estimated that Madrimov will earn around $1 million, while Crawford will take home approximately $8 million from this fight. This will be one of the biggest earnings of Madrimov’s career, whereas the pound-for-pound king, Bud Crawford, has previously earned much larger purses.
Overall, it was one of the biggest boxing events of the year. Crawford met fans’ expectations, delivering a top-notch performance and making history. However, the defending champion, Madrimov, was unable to retain the title, but still earned a good purse from the fight.
Ryan Garcia Predicts Terence Crawford Has No Chance Against Canelo Alvarez
Crawford has racked up another impressive win and, at 36, now stands at 41-0 with 31 KOs. He is a two-weight Undisputed world champion, three-weight ring magazine champion, four-weight world champion, and more. Every time he steps into the ring, he shows why he is the pound-for-pound king.
Many have supported Crawford in defeating Canelo Alvarez if the fight potentially happens. However, according to the boxing sensation Ryan Garcia, Crawford doesn’t have what it takes to beat Canelo. On X, Garcia ranted about Crawford, even stating that this match was a robbery.
While Terence Crawford has reigned supreme once again, it will be interesting to see if he can show his class by taking on and defeating the Mexican monster. If he does, it will certainly silence all his critics.
