WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman read from a news release detailing that the unbeaten Crawford, after defeating Canelo Alvarez in September in Las Vegas, stiffed the sanctioning body of $300,000 in sanctioning fees – 0.6% of his $50 million purse – after previously denying payment from his August 2024 victory over Israil Madrimov down at junior middleweight.
