Creative matchmaking for Crawford

[GrandpaBernard]

Get creative about leaving too rank contract like Floyd did

[Curt Henning]

Crawford was the lineal lightweight champion and had wins over Dierry Jean, Thomas Dulorme, Raymundo Beltran, Yurikos Gamboa and Ricky Burns.

So his resume was better than Davis’ is now.

when bud was 26 how many of those guys had he beaten? lol....and bud wasnt nearly as known or a the draw that tank is right now.....did bud sell 12k in tix in two different cities at tanks age? headline his own ppv? work main support to a floyd ppv? do a 2 mil gate? nope....thats the point....tanks resume isnt great at all yet hes still well known and one of the bigger names in the sport and def one of the biggest names below 147......youre an imbecile...an insecure imbecile with a tiny peen...it couldnt be more obvious

Everyone I named was on Crawford’s resume when he was 26 years old.

He sold 10k+ in two different cities at that time.

His first PPV was at age 27.

Crawford is a top rank fighter, so he wouldn’t be on a Floyd Mayweather undercard.

I don’t know what the gates for his fights were.

people who say “peen” have a micropenis.

Okay, so give a timeframe for this hypothetical matchmaking, as in: WHEN the match is supposed to be inked and then fought,
because quite a lot hinges on it ---and whether Bud's contract with Top Rank disintegrates this October or not.

He has one more fight owed to him before his contract expires. Anytime between now & then.

If I was Crawford I would jump up and fight Golovkin. Being serious. The odds are much better than Brook’s right now, Crawford’s a better fighter and Golovkins 40.

[PinkGod]

Spence, Thurman, Garcia & Porter have openly ducked Bud at some point in time (I can show you if you want). It's not Bud's fault he can't the fights he wants, it's BOB'S fault. It's his job to secure Bud big fights & he's clearly failed to do so. My thing is, what's gonna be the excuse when Bud leaves Top Rank?

This is what im talking about. Now this is creative thinking.

we have a winner

Lol that Porter situation gets under your skin huh? Heard this guy say people try to make Crawford out as some guy who will fight anybody when he's shown time & time again he's just about the money.

• Wants 50/50 for Spence
• Took the high guarantee instead of signing where the legacy fights were
• Called out Pac over Spence for the money after his last fight
• Wouldn't take a pay cut during the pandemic
• Wouldn't take a pay cut to negotiate for Spence or Thurman

Time & time again he's shown he's only about the money

Two points:

1. you had to realize he was about the money when he re-signed with TR knowing the political landscape. Can’t say I blame him this is real life.

2. has anyone stopped to think maybe Bob is blocking these fights by putting in clauses that would make Crawford owe him more fights rather than allow him to become a free agent?

Bob isn’t goin g to let Crawford’s deal just run out. He wants to get in on the Crawford/Spence fight and make back his money.

But it seems Crawford wants to give him the fight he owes him and then move on.

[RuleOfTheSpear]

Ortiz says he taking a tune up before Crawford.
Mikey hinting of going back to 140.
Porter hinting he might get the Ugas fight.
Taylor says he's defending against Catterall before Crawford.

Thurman is the only available option for him. He was also willing to fight him but Bob says he can't afford the PBC fighters.

Those are the options other than the usual no name bums. But I do like the idea of pitting Crawford against Castano at 154. Castano is not that big. And not that technical.

He could just leave top rank. But he would have to wait out his contract. That's too long of a layoff and no payday. One more fight amd try again with Thurman or make a fight with Castano.

EDIT: totally forgot Castano fighting Charlo. Welp, since Bob can't afford PBC fighters, Bud's next fight will be against a bum.
