    A fight this big Crawford should know and not get surprised after the fight. As much as I criticize Crawford for negotiations it this is true he is right.

What reason would Haymon/PBC refuse oversight? Looking very shady on Haymon/PBCs part.
      Exactly, Spence contracts had that transparency in every single one of his PPV fights. But for Bud, nahhhh. They WANT Bud to walk away, they have always been scared to put this fight together, it's been nothing but excuses for 5 or 6 years and then they ran out of running track so now they trying to trip it up in negotiations.

        When this fight wasn’t confirmed before September I knew it wasn’t going down this year.
        I’ll be surprised if it ever happens at this point. Next each side will start flinging excuses at the other side.

            What are Crawford's other options? He isn't a draw so he isn't going to make this much money with anyone else.

            Is he going to sue Al Haymon for racism too?

            Just take the fight and win and then you can start making demands and acting like a diva.

              Bomac doesn't like Haymon. And Haymon is returning the favor.

                Clownish response coming from u. He already has done what everyone said he wouldnt and thats accept a smaller cut, and is getting net, not gross. To want transparency is what any SMART individual would ask for. Your biz acumen is showing...

                As for your "what are his other options"...hes wbo champ, can move up and force the fighy with Charlo as the wbo allows and enforces

                  Why are you standing on the sidelines cheerleading while a brother's getting played? No guarantee? For a 3 division champion, lineal in 2, undisputed in 1? Bud's a family man without a professional team looking out for his best needs right now. If he's this agreeable to the short end of the stick, he's setting himself up to get played fight night.

                  Stop cheerleading for the corporations. You've got one man standing against an entire system and you're in the crowd gleaming with your PBC jersey. Can't you see it's embarrassing?

                  How can you not stand with Bud Crawford?

                    yeah & ward got 6.5 mil base rate LMAO based off a robbery, no wonder kovalev hit the vodka after all that, talk about getting shafted on the double
