Comments Thread For: Crawford: Spence Didn't Want The Fight As Bad As I Did; I Agreed To All Of Their Bull****

[Smash]

but then i think ok, crawford is ready to fight now & said hes fighting this year so spence may prefer early next year but these guys have had since june to figure it out so someone is stalling for their own reasons, crawford is getting old now, 35 is either on the hill or on the way down for a lot of guys

[ptek]

What does PBC have to do with Crawford? He didn't want the fight with Spence. PBC has nothing to do with this fight, it's some random promotion who is willing to lose money on the fight just to pay Crawford. Crawford been a free agent for a year cause nobody wants to sign him

Who cares if no one wants to sign him.
it makes not a blind bit of difference.
The man is still getting a 10 figure pay day.
Not to shabby for a free agent.
PBC ain't paying no one 10 figures in the welterweight division, and i do mean NO ONE.

And how do you no there going to lose money???

Do you work in the industry???

Errol was told to talk about "the other side of the street", in an attempt to pressure Bud to sign with PBC. Either way, they never wanted the fight, otherwise they would have made it much less difficult, not put so many obstacles in front of the fight. They've been BS'ing Bud ever since he moved up to welterweight. No one moves up in weight to avoid ppl at that weight. They obviously move up because they want smoke up there. So Bud always wanted this fight. 1st obstacle they put was saying he needs to win a title at welterweight. Then it was we don't work with Bob Arum unless we think we can win, like when we let Fury fight Wilder because we believed Wilder would destroy him, but we were wrong, Then it was Errol has a lot of opponents on PBC side he can fight why should we let Bud eat if he won't sign with us? And then it was the other side of the street bs, then it was fight Shawn Porter, then leave Bob Arum. Then it was take 80/20 split, A-side, B-side bs, take no guaranteed $ on the back end, etc, etc. The lies and bs and stalling never ended. Errol is their brand. They can't let him face someone of equal or greater talent. Thats bad for business. PBC is all business and anti-fan. They want ur PPV dollars but with as little real risk as possible. No one maximizes reward vs. risk better than PBC. How many PPV's have they given fans with total mismatches?

This is categorically false. No one thought wilder was gonna beat fury. Only dunces believed that. Haymon has been around boxing a long time u think he had inkling fury was the best HW in the world? That’s was clear a long time ago. Bud ducked this fight. He’s fighting ANOTHER bum. After a career of fighting bums and Errol spences leftovers. Man used spences name to get ANOTHER payday to beat up a bum who’s already been KOd by a previous bum bud KOd. Meanwhile spence is being talked about as an opponent possibly for fundora. This tells u all u need to know. Fundora is a great fighter he would put avensyan(Crawford’s opponent) in a body bag if they fought. There’s no excuses anymore Terence Crawford isn’t pound 4 pound anything

[Slip jab]

Big surprise! I’m not disappointed the slightest. I had given up on this fight. I’m keeping my money. Handlers are taking it the maypac route. As a fan it’s hell naw. My interest is on the HW division as well as flyweight. Where fights are actually made. I’ve bn done with PBC holding up the sport

[ShoulderRoll]

Bob Arums' fault for releasing Crawford and not giving him 2 (missed one during covid so he is owed that purse. race stuff is all lawyers) yearly guaranteed fights to go over to PBC and sit a year with Broner, Arreola, JRock, Thurman (I fight 1 time every 2 years) and the long list of dust collecting fighters.

So Dud Crawford couldn't make big fights while he was with Arum, and now he can't make a big fight with Al Haymon either.

You ever stop to think that maybe Dud is the problem?

Have you ever seen a guy, so unwilling to test himself, get as much praise and scapegoated for NOT fighting top opposition like Bud Crawford?

He's 35, ffs.

[QballLobo]

Bad look for Bud. He got a decent payday but that fight will bomb and he is wasting time.
A win against Spence would be career defining and set him up for future bigger paydays.
He was afraid to bet on himself.

Fundora is what?!?! Hes gonna get lawnchaired by any top guy. Youre hilarious...great fighter lmfao. Hes a good up n comer but nowhere close to great.

[Roadblock]

Crawford wants the fight! PBC and Spence just want people to believe they want the fight, or at least that is my impression.

lol , Bud signed to fight another BS fight in the back room while telling the fans he wants Errol, whom sent TC a contract and was waiting with eyes on one fight only.

If Errol had broke a negotiation like this he would be the one that ducked the fight, TC signing that BS fight tells the story.

Im impartial here I have no favorite and its clearly obvious to me TC bummed out of this fight, Im very disappointed in what TC did here.
