Bud just needs to go free agent, Canelo like, that's how he'll make the most money. He can work with pbs all he wants, as long as they pay and follow the new script of riding his d.
    PBC has the best 147 and 154 lb fighters.

    Crawford could close out his career there with plenty of meaningful fights and head into retirement with a nice nest egg.

    Why would he go anywhere else, who can offer him more or better options?

      PBC is no better than TR. Too many in house fights.
      Just look at Tank. Crawford hasn’t got time for that BS

        Pbc got some boys, no doubt. My point was that he shouldn't sign a long term deal. They will bid for him.

          Spence - Ugas first.

            For Spence and Ugas? Nah. Did Spence and Ugas sign with Top Rank to fight Crawford? Nope.

            Crawford will do the Canelo thing. See who offers him what on a fight by fight basis.
            That would be a good idea for Crawford

            the problem is, the fighters that benefit from being free agents are the ones who have big drawing power, I.e Canelo. Anyone will work with him because you won’t lose money.


            if you’re signed with a promoter with a broadcaster, they need to recoup money and whatnot, so they have to make fights for you, it’s the only way their business works.

            If you’re a free agent that doesn’t generate huge money, the broadcasters and promoters likely won’t take a big risk on you for single fight deals and you can end up very inactive unless you land mega fights certain of making big profits

              Why does Ugas have to exist & ruin $#!+ doe... Honestly I don't want to see him Vs. Spence or "Bud".

              Get to it.

              Let Crawford beat Spence already.
              (We all know it's going to happen)

                  That's a good point. Crawford isn't exactly a hot commodity. Who knows what he does.

                    Shame it took him some of his best years to figure out Top Rank want the right fit for a top welterweight.
                    top rank is ****. De la hoya left, mayweather, Crawford claims he's leaving and Lomachenko should be a superstar. As I've stated before, you have Lomachenko, who is a white male with superb skills, and Arum couldn't market him to white america and the masses to make him a superstar. How did he blow that??? wtf. Fury being a hw sells itself as the hw division has always been the most popular even when it wasn't the best division. But as I stated in a previous post, I'll believe it when I see it because he said he was leaving before and re-signed back with him.

                      The problem with all of this are the belts. that's why fights aren't being made. 4 belts and promoters paying these organizations under the table . it's bs. Get rid of the belts and have one governing body, that also gets rid of the promoters. Arum and King are responsible for this multiple belt nonsense. It was just the WBA and then the WBC came in during the early 60s. I feel that 2 is too many and then the IBF in the early 80s and then the WBO which no one ever took serious until DLH got a gift against Sturm. I've been stating this for year nd RC just did a video on it yesterday.
