When will Crawford fight next?

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

I truly believe Bud is a special fighter but time is starting to turn against him. He desperately needs those career defining fights.

I expected Bud would have signed with PBC by this point but it seems like no serious discussions have even taken place, he’s still at odds with Top Rank and none of the smaller promoters have any worthwhile options for him.

[Rip Chudd]

Yeah it sucks the position he's in. On one hand he is a tremendous talent but he also doesn't bring the type of fan base to demand crazy money. Promoters aren't lining up to overpay him as it doesn't seem he wants to come down in terms of what he was making before and thinks he deserves even more money now (which is justified based on talent alone but not on viewership and tickets). Dude is in a horrible predicament right now. He may have to try and get the Spence fight on low money to beat him and prove once and for all he is the best and command the big dollars.

Either that or try to get Thurman and do decent numbers, but it's all just a gamble at this point amd he needs to convince a promoter to take that chance on him

At his 40.

Well put although I do believe he's actually more popular then giving credit for , he always had good viewership numbers . I do believe had ESPN not made his last PPV ESPN + only he would've gotten over 200k oh well . At this point in his career only fights that matter are Thurman , Spence and winner of Charlo- Castano . Other then that there's not much interest from fans

[The Big Dunn]

Depends where he signs. If he signs with PBC, I expect it to be Thurman.

If he somehow goes back to TR, it will be some low level guy.

If he goes to Probellum likely the mando Ortiz.

Obviously, Bud's being ducked and frozen out by his contemporaries and competitors, he's too risky and dangerous for the up and comers and the top guns like Spence are acting like Bidnizz men.

I hate to say this but, Crawford's going to go the way of the dodo bird, he's going to be forgotten like Rigo.
