When asked about Saudi Arabia&rsquo;s boxing kingmaker Turki Alalshikh&rsquo;s wish to see this fight happen, Alvarez&rsquo;s response was pretty intriguing. He didn&rsquo;t beat around the bush. He simply said:<\/p><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>&ldquo;There&rsquo;s always a chance there.

Last year, Canelo Alvarez threw out a massive number: $150 million as his asking price for the fight. Terence Crawford, not one to stay quiet, called out Canelo during UFC 306 while sitting next to Alalshikh, who has become boxing&rsquo;s new deal-maker.&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Canelo Alvarez talking Terence Crawford on the red carpet at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TheRingAwards?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#TheRingAwards<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sBx5b6kgI9\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/sBx5b6kgI9<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Ring Magazine (@ringmagazine) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ringmagazine\/status\/1878175458308555019?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>January 11, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>The whole situation got even more interesting when Alalshikh publicly called out Canelo for supposedly ducking tough fights after his loss to Dmitry Bivol.

I was instantly hooked on MMA after watching the fight between Lyoto Machida vs. Gegard Mousasi back in 2014, and since then, i have been an avid writer with a deep love for the sport and its techniques, providing readers with a thorough understanding of the sport. My favorite aspect of working at The Playoffs is the creative freedom it provides. The diverse range of topics, from listicles and SEO to news articles, keeps me engaged and motivates me to continuously improve my skills! I aim to capture the excitement of the combat sports world in my writing, acting as the middleman between fighters and their die-hard fans. It is kind of like a referee, but with words!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/zaid-quraishi-884927240?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=android_app"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/zaid\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12945"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12945"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12945\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13079,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12945\/revisions\/13079"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
