Comments Thread For: Hearn Open To Sign Crawford: "But We'd Struggle To Deliver Purses Terence Would Want Unless He Were Sensible"

[champion4ever]

Falsely claimed? Any evidence to show his statement was false?

Any evidence to show that his statement was true? Terence has had only three pay per view events with Top Rank and all the rest of Bud Crawford's purses has come from the licensing fees that the platforms pay Bob Arum and Top Rank to televise his bouts which were roughly around $4M per fight. So if anyone has lost money on Crawford then it would have had to been ESPN since they were the ones putting up all the money and not Bob Arum.

When they made that statement, Crawford was with Top Rank! Things have changed! I'm 99% sure if Crawford went with Mayweather, Ellerbe and Haymon would get Spence vs. Crawford done easily! However, it's bigger than just Spence! There's Ugas, Boots, Thurman, Stanionis, Butaev, Brandun Lee, Gary Antuanne Russell, Subriel Matias, Shojahon Ergashev, Regis Prograis, Tank Davis, Jermell Charlo, Castano, and Lubin! There's enough fights for Crawford to choose from for the next 3 years!

Call me crazy, but I'm salivating for Davis-Crawford. That's a fight I eventually want to see, especially if Davis beats Thurman, after a few more fights.

That's how I feel about Davis vs. Prograis @ 140! If Floyd is going to keep Tank as in-house fighter, I would rather see him @ 140! Brandun Lee, Gary Antuanne, Frank Martin, Shojahon Ergashev, and Subriel Matias! Those are all high-level fighters, that I would love to see in the ring with Tank! Tank shouldn't go to 147 until he's at least 30!

His PPV numbers, His guaranteed purses. You really don’t need to look any further than this.

Don’t clutch at straws. You have nothing to base your allegation of arum “falsely claiming” to Overpaying bud. Anyone with common sense can realise his numbers don’t equate to the money he expects.

Even Eddie is correct here and he’s saying bud needs to realise.

Bob the crispy woman hating racist gambled on Crawford to break out in to superstardom and it didn't happen but that massive contract now has Bud thinking that is the kind of money he deserves when it really isn't.

Same problem with all these mental overpriced PBC PPV's. These fighters once got a great purse and now they demand it so only options are to tell these Boxers to get a reality check or rip the customers off to try give them what they want.

Then you got fighters like Tyson Wild Boar Fury and his gimpy fans bragging about his Wilder numbers like that's his usual numbers when every fight he's had since the Wlad win that doesn't include Wilder had been a bit of a dud.

There's differences between what you get paid to what you actually pull in and you also have a difference between what 2 fighters pull and what they could pull if they fought each other.

But these fighter's get one big one or get one big pay day and then pin that as their actual fight to fight worth when it really isn't.

That last paragraph is worth it’s weight in gold. Excellent point to highlight, that’s EXACTLY what fighters do nowadays.

Terence Crawford would be the DUMBEST MF in the entire world if he signed to Hearn...LOL....just call that mf Larry...Moe...and curly too lol.

[brettWall]

Why would Hearn be interested when PBC which got the most fighters in the division for Crawford is not?

You dont know what you're talking about.

You have no idea how much of Crawford's guarantee was covered by ESPN. Bob was his promoter, not ESPN. For all you know, ESPN was only paying a $2 or $3 million guarantee, with an upside on subs that maybe did or did not hit the number. You haven't the slightest idea whether or not Top Rank made money or lost money, or how the ESPN / Top Rank deal is structured.

But because Bob is a white guy, he must be lying. We get it. Your position is obvious.
