Crawford had a few negotiations going on at the same time and went with the one he was going to do the most with the least risk.
Any word if ESPN has any comments on this?
Crawford guarantees were over 3 million with Top Rank. Still not sure where 10 million is coming from, heard 5 million base to 10 million, so no where near 5 times over his value. Omaha will sellout. PPV is a iffy but there is no middleman with an app.
Broner is not worth 3 fights for 10 million. Someone is slipping up on that deal. He's toast like Keef.
I've would have taken that money and see if I could bait Ortiz and Ennis, 5 million a piece, for co-main tune up and meeting.
And Bob said he lost a fortune on Crawford's fights.
Looks shaky as hell. Don't get why all these apps want to pay fighters over 5 times thier market value. They are going to burn thier hard earned money

It really doesn't matter. He made a statement loud and clear. Make a tiny mistake in the negotiations, you get this consequence. Waste of time. Time is money.
OK I'm concerned for Bud I don't give a SH^T about some APP or whatever but please don't be another damn Triller in which you jump into boxing do a quick money grab and Lawsuits starts Piling up and fighters saying they was never paid
Again I really really really hope Bud and AB did their homework before running and signing with something that really came out of nowhere. No Social Media pages and the ones they do have are not Verified. No Real Office Space, look like they introduced AB to BLK Prime at a Storage Space or something and quickly put up that Wrinkle Banner with a Cheap Chair in front of it
Still no Press Conference, nobody representing BLK Prime has reached out to anybody, I think it is Blue Blood dude sending out Press Stuff. I don't believe nothing about guys getting paid already before the fight and the event even happens
Brian Norman Jr a Prospect/Contender Im extremely signed with them months ago and was suppose to make his Debut with them but Allegedly his Event has been canceled TWICE Now so now I'm sure they're probably telling him he will be on this Undercard
The Guy Listed to be In Charge "Desmond Gumbs" have all type of stuff Online accusing him of being a Scammer from his other businesses which is a major RED FLAG:

to be fair to Mr Gumbs you can find negative stuff on anybody so I won't hold that against him it is 2 Sides to every story
When you don't come out and address the people and answer questions people are going to go do their own research and find stuff like that
I don’t see any tickets for sale yet so that seems a little weird to me. During the holiday season they expect people to make last minute plans for this crap fight?
And its only 6 weeks out, somebody going to lose big money here.

Apparently one day a mad scientist was testing a new weapon that would eliminate words... and he must have chose "legacy" seeing how unimportant it is to these guys, these days. Guys like Hearns, Duran, Ray Leonard, Hagler would have risked everything for legacy, and would have laughed at the goose egg. These guys? its just sad.
You have a point of course but no one was throwing 10+ million at any of them for a fight as easy as David Avanesyan.
Ain't nothing abnormal about taking a 10 million dollar guarantee to fight at home
yeah its great taking that guarantee, but its a bit odd that noone can see the people offering it, maybe they will show their faces when the promotion starts or are they going to be leaving that to bud and the russian
Wild speculation from a man that doesn't know a damn thing that we don't know.
Fights dropping off and being added back to Boxrec is normal. Calendars for events that don't formally have tickets for sale being block off is normal. The only thing abnormal here is Crawford getting involved with putting on this ghetto **** in the first place.

I was a bit concerned with what Fannon says about BLK primes legal issues, and things so quiet with only 6wks out, strange times with boxing atm.
very strange, arum seems to say at least the russian has been paid already for the fight, not sure about crawford but im sure if the russian got paid then why not the main guy, did they hand over this cash in a car park in a suitcase i wonder?
