Comments Thread For: Thurman on Crawford: Clearly, If He Can't Come Up With Something To Do, I'll Fill That Slot

[NC Uppercut]

I’d rather see them fight Keith than nobody at all. You all keep sleeping on Keef if you want too. Not saying that he wins, but I bet he fights better than not having one. We all wanna see one and two do their thing; but I’d be happy with the #3 being involved if nothing else. Can’t help Keith is a friend of mine, I know what he can do. Should make an interesting fight with either!
Or do you all prefer no fights?

That's from August 9. Not 15 hours ago.

That’s what o get for not using my glasses when I read stuff. Ty

I think the sticking point is he wants veto power on all expenses. Transparency is one thing. Having a fighter get involved in decision making on every aspect of expenses for a fight is a totally different ask. I'm starting to understand more why Bob Arum felt the way he did about TC.

And also why Spence felt it was "easier" to fight PBC fighters and save Terence for last. The guy is a free agent now, and is putting up every Roadblock imaginable to get a deal done.

it's one thing to have canelo (who somehow still gets paid 50M per fight, when his fights barely generate as much) making diva demands, than it is to have Terence crawford, who had a 5M guarantee, that his own promoter thought was too much, making diva demands...

Like Spence said, "we'll see who's holding the fight up, once I get this last belt."

One Time has "ALLEGEDLY" been offered Stanionis, Boots, Ugas, Benn and has again "ALLEGEDLY" turned them all down and/or has priced himself out so to jump out and talk about Business is why you're on the Shelf if complete BS. You're typically put on the shelf when you repeatedly turned down Offers then the Powers that be just start assuming "Oh Well He Wouldn't Take This or That Fight" so they don't bother calling to ask if you're interested because they just assume you won't take it

Clearly, the only slot Keith is filling is the weekend karaoke bar afternoon slot.. At the end of the day, one time is having a good time!

Where did you hear that?

[Get em up]

This MF’er has to be the most agitating fake boxer ever! Your last two fights were against minimum weights coming up and you would think he beat King Kong, keep it up and I’ll call that little Philipino out of retirement on your ass!

I'd pay seriously good money to see Thurman vs Boots or Ortiz Jr. just to see if he stops talking after a good old fashioned a$$ whipping

[Get em up]

It's a shame Crawford/Spence cannot come to terms. Personally I think it doesn't happen anymore. Crawford should just move up as it seems that Spence won't budge on the purse%, and I'm not about to blame him. Beyond a move up, there's always Thurman, and beyond that, Manuel Charr.

Just sayin'

I dont think it's the split holding it up. Mike Coppinger said on Max on boxing Haymon isnt willing to disclose what all Bud will be paying for out of his split so there isn't any sort of guarantee on what Bud gets paid. I don't blame either guy for wanting to know what they are paying for. We all like knowing where our money gets spent.

[Get em up]

Apparently Crawford agreed for no guarantee and is just getting a percentage of all the revenues on the back end. All he is asking for is transparency on expenses which pbc won’t provide. Apparently.


seems like a reasonable request.

More than reasonable. Everybody wants to know where their money gets spent.

[Doubledagger]

Just make Crawford vs Ortiz. Ortiz has more power than Spence. Let Spence get less and get wooped by Boots.

PBC is the problem for fights happening
Spence PBC vs Crawford Top Rank
Gervonta PBC vs Ryan, Loma, Haney Golden boy and Top Rank
Charlo PBC vs Mungia GB

Do you guys see any PBC vs matchroom coming up?

Its rare when they make big fights happen with other promoters. Porter was way past his best days.

How does Ortiz have more power than Spence?

Lol, what proof do you have?

They only have one common opponent and Spence stopped him much earlier than Ortiz did so again, how does Ortiz have more power?
