Canelo Alvarez\u2019s shocking loss over the weekend has people wondering if all was well within Canelo\u2019s camp.<\/p>\n
On Saturday night, the Mexican superstar suffered a shocking unanimous decision loss to Terence Crawford.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always tried, all the rounds I tried,\u201d Canelo said..\u2026. We knew Crawford is a great fighter and I did what I was supposed to do, right? I tried to do everything, trained really hard. He deserves all of the credit. I tried my best, and I could not figure out the style.\u201d<\/p>\n
Behind the scenes, Canelo may have been dealing with a bit too much. <\/p>\n
Throughout fight week, there were rumblings that Canelo\u2019s business manager, Richard Schaefer, was causing unnecessary drama for everyone involved in the promotion.<\/p>\n
A source close to the promotion of the event tells us that Schaefer would constantly ensure that he was either on stage or on camera next to Canelo,\u00a0 even for things he was not scheduled to be on stage for.<\/p>\n

It was Canelo\u2019s representative Richard Schaefer.<\/p>\n Schaefer is the alleged Swiss banker who has been completely irrelevant for 15y. Fired by Oscar, Anthem Sports, Jon Jones. Everything he touches turns to shit<\/p>\n \u2014 FightOracle \u2122\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@fightoracle) September 15, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n While Schaefer isn\u2019t responsible for Canelo\u2019s loss, his presence during fight week appeared to distract more than it helped.<\/p>\n It\u2019ll be interesting to see if Canelo makes any major changes inside and outside of the ring ahead of his next fight.<\/p>\n \t\t\t
