Eddie Hearn shares thoughts on Dana White and Turki Alalshikh co-promoting Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford fight

In addition to Dana White's TKO Boxing, Turki Alalshikh's Riyadh Season is also promoting the fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford. According to Eddie Hearn, White's involvement could lead to a successful outcome for the event.

While speaking in an interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, Hearn said:

"It's a fantastic fight. The reality is the promoter of this fight is Turki Alalshikh. Whenever there's a Riyadh Season event or Ring Magazine event, all the decisions are made from His Excellency... I think it's a good look to have Dana doing it."

He added:

"You're kind of a guest promoter, and that's really what a lot of us are when we do Riyadh Season or Ring Magazine events. So, should I be doing it? No, not really. Dana's got a much bigger profile than me in America, so I get the move."
