Terence Crawford believes Netflix is helping to bring boxing back to its golden era.
On September 13, ‘Bud’ will face his toughest test yet when he goes toe-to-toe with legendary pugilist Canelo Alvarez in Las Vegas. The fight, considered by some to be the biggest boxing bout of the last decade, will air live and exclusively on Netflix at no extra charge for the streaming giant’s 300 million subscribers worldwide.
It’s a welcome change for fight fans tired of shelling out big money for pay-per-views, and one that Crawford believes can only help the sport in the future.
