If you want to talk about that then set up an interview. This isn't about me," White said.When the reporter, Sean Zittel, persisted, White cut him short: "You have a question for these two, no? Beat it."White is spearheading a push to amend the act, which does not apply to MMA, allowing the UFC to make their own world titles.Critics argue White's UFC model in boxing would restrict fighters with exclusive contracts, create a monopoly and leaves boxers earning a far smaller share of event revenue.As the reporter pressed White, Alvarez chanted "fight, fight, fight".

One of the biggest fights in my career. It means a lot. It's going to be very top," he said.Alvarez dismissed any suggestion of fighting Crawford a year ago, citing the size difference. But he agreed with an assessment of it being a 50-50 contest."I think they right. Two of the best fighting each other. They right," he said.Crawford - who last fought 13 months ago when he beat Israil Madrimov to win a world title in a fourth division - was unmoved by the noise in the arena."I'm feeling great. I am ready to go shock the world," he said. He even riled up the crowd by shouting out to his "Latino fans", adding: "This fight is going to be stamped in the history books."Crawford, with 41 wins and 31 knockouts, won his first world title in 2014 at lightweight against Scotsman Ricky Burns. He went on to unify the light-welterweight and welterweight divisions before moving up again.Saturday's bout will be broadcast globally on Netflix, reaching a potential audience of more than 300 million subscribers.It is the first major boxing event promoted by White alongside Saudi's Turki Alalshikh, signalling a new, if uncertain, era for the sport.As organisers hyped up the new partnership as the saviour of the sport and suggested boxing has been suffering for years, one of its biggest stars - and highest earners with a reported $150m purse to collect on Saturday - Alvarez, chimed in."Hey, boxing was always bigger, bigger and big. Don't say boxing is not big enough. You know how big is boxing," he said.Alvarez pushed Crawford as tempers flared at in New York in June, but the two shared a nod and handshake to end on a respectful note.To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.This video can not be playedMedia caption, Canelo v Crawford is a fight for legacy - WardRelated topicsMixed Martial ArtsBoxingBoxing schedule and results 2025Published2 days agoWatch every Born to Brawl episodePublished28 April 2024More boxing from the BBCNotifications, social media and more with BBC SportPublished16 AugustComments can not be loadedTo load Comments you need to enable JavaScript in your browserView comments | 174
