there can only be 1 (hedge fund that is)

Wilder was the A side in the first Fury fight.
Fury had been off a while and had lost his title due to drugs and alcohol issues.
Wilder tried to cherry pick Fury as a name and it backfired.
Second and third fights were pre negotiated rematch terms.

Where does Fury come into it, I didn't mention Fury?

Yeah...it's worse.

Read this part:

SO basically, Crawford tried to get Spence to do an end run around Al Haymon. Which is a HUGE no-no. And that "company" was probably BLK Prime, which is shady in itself.

Not only that - that's probably why the alleged fight with Manny fell through AND likely why the Danny Swift fight never came back. He probably did the same thing.

You don't do that. That's what got Amir Khan in trouble with Manny, same thing as with Ryan Garcia - same crap.

I haven't seen crap like this since the allegations about Sonny Liston taking a dive.


So basically, rather than just do the PPV like he was told, his excuse is "people pirate the fight" so he wanted guaranteed money regardless of piracy.

There was no way in hell that was a real offer. It's smoke. Whoever allegedly told him this was lying to him. And it was 100% on the level to kick this guy to the curb. That's shady as hell and NOT the way to do business.

And he's a dumbass for admitting this dude was truly negotiating in BAD FAITH, openly and publicly.


Terence. NO SMOKE. Crawford.

All of this.

Remember when 50 Cent visited Floyd in prison and tried to get him to go around Haymon, and make Pacquiao-Mayweather with some random hoodrat friend of his? The proposal was written in sharpie on a handwritten jail letter. Floyd was so disgusted he ended his friendship 50 Cent immediately.

It's the same thing here.... they're going to shut out one of the most powerful players in the sport? to make the deal with some random person with zero track record that allegedly just wants to sink 50-100mil in a one-off deal and lose their ass for no reason? What could go wrong???

Crawford has ZERO leverage. No promoter. No drawing power. Haney found himself in the same position recently and how did he handle it? He signed the deal, bet on himself, got paid, and now he's the man.

Crawford is not, and will not be that.

This is all sounding really familiar actually. Remember when Crawford said he didn't need Pacquiao?

Haymon did a 600mill 400mill 200mill and a couple of 100mill fights. He has been widely successful in this industry for over 50 years and is widely considered a "big budget promotional legend". But If you, with all your education and expertise, think you can help him get the fight over the line then go help. Tell me again how much higher learning you have. One, three semesters of community college?

Sorry kid, i can see how comprehension isnt your strong suit. Hes done what exactly for over 50 years? Big budget promotional legend? Youre a big fanboy, I can tell.

You still didnt answer my question....

As for my eductional journey, BA from SDSU and a Masters in smelling fcukboi bs like yours and most of these d!ckriding promotional and boxing fanboys.

Anyone that puts that much stock in "higher education" can't be taken seriously. The world is overran with over educated morons. I know guys who dropped out of high school that can build a car from scratch and out think 90% of people.

Also to keep bringing up race. Lol. Just silly.

Haymon is protecting Spence. Period.

Wait a minute...you went to school for 8 years to learn how to smell boys? Let me guess your father is Elton John and you made him very happy. You don't think that studying law or medicine would have been more beneficial to you and your community? I mean I didn't even know there was such a market for boy sniffers. What were the names of some of your courses at SDSU? PEE Pee finders? Dookee ring discovery? Man that's crazy I've never heard of this. You must be a pioneer. Good for you man!

I heard it was Elvis he was spotted going through the Omaha Maccas in the wee hours.
