im neutral got no pick in this fight but seems to me PBC are the ones making it difficult and they will because they have Thurman waiting in the wings its basically a F U to Crawford take it or leave it

Crawford needs to go somewhere and kick rocks. Nobody has to acquiesce to his demands. Someone needs to remind him that he is no longer in the catbird seat. He’s a long way from Top Rank and ESPN.

Then, perhaps he should do just that. The PBC doesn't need him. He needs the PBC. Even Matchroom doesn't want his services. So where else he is going to go?

Aint about who needs him, its about him being able to become the mandatory. Yall pbc groupies are weird. Talk mad sh.it about Crawf, rah rah'n he aint sh.it but when it comes time to make it happen, pbc balks and puts up mkre roadblocks. F.o.h

errol spence almost blew this fight and his career being an out of control drunk

his actions likely diminished the value of this fight while crawford has kept himself in fighting shape while accomplishing more than spence. **** errol spence

He doesn't have the leverage to demand or control anything. He is not a draw and the clear B-side here. Crawford just needs to sh-t or get off the pot already. Time to stop holding things up and actually fight.

As for Jermell Charlo...you do realize that he is with Al Haymon too? Negotiations aren't going to suddenly go his way there either.

Youre joking right? He already acquiesced the smLler cut and other demands by Queen Spence and ******loving Haymon. Basically you want him to forego common sense for your benefit. F.o.h

No sh.it sherlock. Charlo will either have to fight or give up the belt. Wbo dont play, kid.

So youd do what haymon and company want without knowing the details? Youre dumber than most

They should. They never asked for Bud’s services. They never wanted it because he is not a box office Draw.

So I ask what good is he to Al Haymon, the PBC or Showtime if he can’t make them no money?

This is a business. One doesn’t get into business to lose money but to make money. They are only looking out for their best interest.

best post of the thread. 100% truth, they never wanted the fight

It’s not personal Mero. It’s only business. If I was a Showtime exec or Haymon I would probably proceed with caution when dealing with Bud Crawford also.

As a boxing fan I get it but if I was a boxing promoter I would be very careful by throwing money at a fighter who has a track record of tanking at the box office.
