FanDuel Offers Bet $5, Get $300 Bonus Bets for Alvarez-Crawford Mega-Fight

FanDuel Sportsbook is offering new customers a promotional welcome offer ahead of Saturday night’s blockbuster matchup between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford: bet $5 and receive $300 in bonus bets if the initial wager wins.

The offer requires no promo code, and FanDuel says first-time players can register through its site to qualify. The sign-up process entails selecting a state, creating login credentials, making a deposit and placing the qualifying $5 wager; the bonus bets are issued only if that wager settles as a winner.

The bout between undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez and undefeated former welterweight and lightweight titleholder Terence Crawford is scheduled for Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and will stream live on Netflix. Alvarez, a seasoned veteran with a professional record of 63-2-2 and 39 knockouts, will defend the Super Middleweight belts. Crawford arrives with a 41-0 record and 31 knockouts as he attempts to move up two weight classes.

Sportsbooks have installed Alvarez as the favorite. BetMGM opened the line earlier this year with Alvarez at about -175 and as of recent postings had the champion near -160. Crawford opened at +150 and saw that shorter to as low as +130 in August before settling near +145. Oddsmakers at BetMGM listed the fight to go the full 12 rounds as the expected outcome, posting odds of -300 on the bout going the distance.

Analysts and bettors have highlighted the challenge Crawford faces moving up twice in weight, and the matchup has drawn attention as one of the biggest of the year given Alvarez’s status and Crawford’s unblemished record. The fight carries championship stakes, mainstream media distribution via Netflix and a large live venue, underscoring its commercial and sporting significance.
