Comments Thread For: Crawford On Being Promotional Free Agent: I'm Pretty Sure My Decision Is Made Already

Isn’t exciting but has stopped 12 of his last 13 opponents. What current fighters do you actually
find exciting then?

And Bud really goes after the KO once he smells blood!

[El_Mero]

I don't think he goes to PBC. A lot of talk he's going to that new Probellum.

Isnt probellum a management company?

No, a lot of people think they are the promotional company front for MTK. A lot of the guys who signed are with MTK or with Schaefer's former company. They are making deals with all of these promotional companies all over the world where they share talent

Do you Bud! Dam what everyone else think is best 4 U. I would work with TMT before dealing with Bob ass though, plus Floyd will secure you more financially and pay per view of worthy opponents that will boost sells, Go Black!

This seems to be the future. A blending of the lines of various promotions through management and advisory companies. I like it too. I’d like nothing more than to see the old way go the way of the Dodo

Pbc or matchroom here we go. No need to reup top rank didnt land you any major fights, talked shh bout you non stop, showed from taylor to loma theyll promote everyone else but you. No way reup. At age bud needs 2-3 more top 10 fights to solidify legacy. 1 top 10 fight doesnt cut it.

Crawford would dominate and stop Spence, Garcia and Ugas. I couldnt care less about those fights. Ortiz is the second best WW that is the best fight atm, Josh Taylor would be the next best fight or a move to 154. The positive about signing with PBC is the weaklings holding the belts at 154 are with PBC.

The question is will Haymon make a deal for Crawford/Spence unless Bud comes to PBC full time?
Crawford isn’t a big enough name to create a bidding war fight by fight. Plus he doesn’t have any other options to fight top welterweights other than doing business with PBC.
I doubt Haymon is going to risk Bud beating Spence and then taking that WBC belt anywhere else.

Crawford signing to PBC shouldn’t be a pre-requisite to the fight being made

if Haymon/PBC start demanding this, then it’s them, and them alone, preventing Crawford/Spence being made… and should be called out for it

[Bronx2245]

Don't be ****** Bud, call Al Haymon ASAP! There's more than just Spence! There's an opportunity to become undisputed @ 147, and 154! If you want legacy, you want PBC!

Should and will are 2 different things.
Thats how Haymon does business. He likes to keep fights in house so he’s making money on both ends.
He killed the original Canelo/Plant September date because he tried to force Canelo into signing a multi fight deal.
Word is once Spence pulled out of the Pacquiao fight and they lost money on the replacement Showtime forced Al to go back and make the deal.
