WBO orders Burns-Crawford negotiations
By Bill Green
On Friday, WBO championship Committee Chairman Luis Bastista-Salas informed Matchroom Sport and Top Rank that they have 30 days to reach an agreement for a clash between WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns and mandatory challenger Terrance Crawford. If no deal is reached, a purse bid will be ordered. Minumum bid price is $150,000. Either party can call for a purse bid at any time during the negotiation process.

Ricky Burns has to kiss his belt good-buy sooner rather then later.I hope Arum wins the purse bid,cause i don`t want Crawford to get robbed like Raymundo Beltran got robbed in the Burns fight.
Beltran got robbed in that fight but it's a blessing in disguise for him. He'll earn more in the rematch than he would have for being served up as a sacrificial lamb against Crawford.
Should he win the rematch he gets the bout but with a nice retirement fund set up.
They should make sure they don't use my fellow Americans as judges as he's the one that gave the fight to Burns.
I thought the Beltran rematch was a done deal already? Am I missing something here? Someone clue a cracker in.
Team Beltran wanted the rematch out side of Glasgow. Beltran team probably turn it down

Beltran was saying he didn't want to fight in Scotland. Dumb move. He aint getting paid anywhere else
Burns should hand the belt over to crawford through fed-ex to save himself an ass whooping. Either that, or we will have another hug-fest from Burns. You know he might have fallen in love with the hugging since they allowed him to do it in his country.
If Top Rank is serious about promoting Crawford they should outbid Matchroom and make the fight happen in the U.S., if they fight in the UK and it goes the distance Burns will get another gift.
For me its not even about Crawford winning, impress me.
I know he has great skills, but I'm done with these dudes who think they can win and not try to impress the fans.

Yeah I feel bad for Raymundo. Hard luck guy. Always walking the tough road and never gets good credit. As for crawford. Ill take Crawford by schooling. Too well finessed in almost an overall complete boxer. He doesnt care about looking "good" for the crowd. Hes looking to win. Period.
