Watching Pacquiao vs Cotto & others--in his prime Pac would beat Bud most likely. But that is idle speculation.

"Probably make $6 million" is the problem He probably won't make anywhere near that amount. And they don't want him to know the backend numbers, which is how he's being paid. How is that a good deal? Which would you take 8 million or maybe 4 million?

Of course everyone wants to get paid. In fact, the reason Tim Bradley signed with Top Rank was he was guaranteed the Manny fight so I get that part.

I’m focusing on a legacy fight with Spence. Bud does not seem to want it. Let’s say there was transparency and the projections guarantee that Bud and Spence would each make $5 million, do you think Bud would take that fight if he can make $8 million rematching Amir Khan instead?

That’s precisely the point with Bud. He will take the Khan rematch and claim some other shït.

That was a very long description about Waterson that said absolutely nothing. I've been wondering myself who he is and what's his role.

the problem with the PBC deal is that if the PPV fails, Crawford doesn't get paid. Or could get paid very little. Spence gets paid regardless.Yes, everybody wants to see a legacy fight. Crawford should just take a bad deal to make fans happy? He can't get a minimum guarantee? They can't show him the financial numbers post fight?

I agree with you. They should show him the numbers. I just think he’ll not make the fight if he doesn’t like the numbers he sees.
