Turki Alalshikh has further incentivized Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford to win by knockout Sept. 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

The head of Riyadh Season announced during a press conference Friday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, that Alvarez or Crawford will earn an unspecified bonus if either fighter wins their super middleweight title bout by knockout or technical knockout. Alalshikh’s announcement came in response to a question posed by The Ring’s Mike Coppinger regarding his disdain for “Tom and Jerry” fights, in which one boxer essentially chases his opponent around the ring.

“We will not have them anymore,” Alalshikh said. “This is the first thing. The second [thing is], we will have in this fight and the next fight a bonus for [a] KO.”

An overall lack of action on back-to-back nights May 2 in New York and May 3 in Riyadh left fans frustrated and Alalshikh determined to avoid that consumer dissatisfaction moving forward.

Alvarez’s last fight — a 12-round, unanimous-decision victory over William Scull on May 3 — was absurdly dull. Scull refused to engage throughout their super middleweight title unification fight and Alvarez failed to cut off the ring, which enabled the Cuban (23-1, 9 KOs) to remain out of his punching range and coast to a loss on the scorecards at ANB Arena in Riyadh.

Mexico’s Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KOs) won according to all three judges, but the scores of Danrex Tapdasan (119-109), Ron McNair (116-112) and Pablo Gonzalez (115-113) weren’t the most newsworthy numbers produced that night.

Alvarez and Scull established a CompuBox record for the fewest combined punches thrown (445) in a 12-round fight since the company began tracking fights 40 years ago.

The previous night in Times Square, Rolando “Rolly” Romero and Ryan Garcia combined to attempt 490 punches, the fourth fewest in CompuBox history. In the co-feature that immediately preceded Romero’s unanimous points upset of Garcia, Devin Haney and Jose Ramirez threw a total of 503 punches over 12 rounds, the sixth least in a fight tracked by CompuBox. Haney won by unanimous decision.

Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) won’t allow anyone to dictate how he fights. The Omaha, Nebraska, native nevertheless assured Alalshikh and the rest of the boxing world that he won’t do anything resembling running in a main event Netflix will stream worldwide, despite that the undefeated four-division champion has moved up two weight classes to challenge Alvarez for his Ring, IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO 168-pound championships.

“However I gotta fight, Imma win,” Crawford told Todd Grisham, who moderated the press conference. “Simple as that. I’m not gonna let somebody else force me or tell me how to fight, when I been fighting my whole life. I won’t be running. I can tell you that. But I will be doing a lotta touching.”

Alvarez, who will turn 35 next month, has never been knocked out. He has lost only 12-round unanimous decisions to retired five-division champion Floyd Mayweather and undisputed light heavyweight champ Dmitry Bivol.
