I want this to go to a bid for some weird reason just to see WTF would happen
I see Shawn Porter working for Triller this past weekend, has me thinking maybe Triller jumps in and throw a huge offer at this one. PBC, Top Rank, Triller, DAZN I don't give a damn who wins this one just as long as the fight gets made. It would be a huge win for a Platform like Triller if they want some sort of "Legitimacy" with this boxing stuff after that sh%t show this past weekend
They announced this because there is no deal reached yet on paper, but the reporting is that the deal is done.
If the reporting is right, the bid will be called off. If it happens, I doubt the fight gets made unless Triller wins the bid.
The beautiful things about this is whether Top Rank get Crawford a fight or not, they have to pay him his remaining 3 plus million left on his contract come October. If I was Crawford (or Porter), I'd let this go to purse bid...you know Haymon, Hearn & Triller will bid like crazy for this fight.
And Crawford will get paid twice, once from the purse bid winner (if it's not Top Rank) and second from Top Rank who has to honor the remaining financial of his contract once it expires in October.
Your likely right although Crawford could vacate and go after a title at 154 or higher if he’s not happy with the money.
Saw on Twitter they expect multiple outside bids.
Crawford would be in the same position at 154
Porter side is the only one that can walk away.

Arum is always unreliable when it comes to teasing announcements and not closing deals.
Doesn’t seem either side wants the bid so I wouldn’t be surprised to see one side walk away.

Eddie Hearn and the Matchroom still have a shot at winning this purse-bid for DAZN PPV.
