Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford To Fight David Avanesyan On December 10 In Hometown Of Omaha

So I guess he wants to fight a “sure thing” for less money then he would fight another “sure thing” for that would make him undisputed?

Maybe easier to beat David in Omaha than it is to beat EJ in Vegas?

[Blond Beast]

Can’t be surprised. Fighters angle for that one huge payday. They act like it will be there last fight and want to get paid like it.

Spence had 10 years to collect belts, still hasn't fought Thurman since 2016 and who has he been rushed to fight since his accident and eye injury other than his own PBC classmates which Haymon sets up? Please explain about Spence being rushed to do anything.

Don't act like Keith couldn't have made that happen a long time ago. I remember Keith saying Errol needed to prove himself to fight him, prior to Spence beating Kell Brook.

If you ask me we were the ones that Bud played, he should not be telling us one thing and signing another fight in the backroom, and he wants to claim transparency, come on buddy you cant be this blind to what went down, TC signing that other fight tells the story.

He was only asking for fairness. Hell it’s his life; not ours. I see your point though

[NC Uppercut]

But he said he agreed to everything. Which one is it? Was PBC not transparent or were they? Bud is double talking and why won't he fight his mandatory since everyone is talking mandatory talk now.

It's crazy how a Ukrainian and a Mexican can skirt around mandatories asking for franchise belts but Spence needs to fight his ASAP.

From what I understand, which may or maybe not be true, Bud tried to get an Ortiz fight but Ortiz denied it for a chance at Errol. Like I said, I don’t have a dog in this fight, just going with the only person I know we’ll in the boxing business

Very obvious that Crawford's only plan was to fight Avanesyan because he had that fight ready to go in no time which was way too convenient to have signed so fast. Spence had his mind on one fight, Crawford, and Crawford had his mind on one fight, Avanesyan.

Mayweather knew this fight wasn’t happening awhile back. Crawford was likely conceding this fight wasn’t happening this year, so lined himself up a fight. Only one who seems to have been out of the loop is Spence. And Crawford did mention Spence was nowhere to be found in the months of negotiations he’s had with Haymon and PBC. Spence is just a muppet with Haymon’s hand up his ass anyway.

He wasn't asking for no fairness. The truth is Team Crawford had a contingency plan all along. They already had a fight signed up the moment they started those bad faith negotiations with Al Haymon and the PBC.

They didn't lay all their cards on the table. They were double dealing. They were being both deceptive, duplicitous and treacherous at the bargaining table. They never had any true intentions of closing a deal with the PBC in order to fight Errol "The Truth" Spence, Jr.

It's not only unethical but also wrong.

Can't blame Crawford. Who's he to turn down 10 mill guarantee? Something a PBC fighter don't know about. He'll stop Avaneysan for a cool 10 mill.

Listen Champ, my source is Keith Thurman, like him or not, he knew about this 3 weeks ago. He stated that PBC was not doing Errol the proper service. I’m not here to pick sides; but let’s use our own logic… Don’t you always have a contingency plan for all things? I know I do. That’s just business, nothing shady about that. If you don’t have a back up plan, you won’t do very well in life. That’s just facts. I want to see the fight as well as the next man. Did you know that Errol also has a contingency plan, and has for 6 weeks? You’ll find out about it weekend after next.
