    Still waiting for the names of the supposed 50M mystery hedge funds that are willing to give the guarantees. I hope this euro bum does trouble TC and KO him tbh

      Why is this writer lying?

      Why can’t Crawford name the Hedge Fund guys?

          who TF is his Manager anyway? BoMac?

          You must have representation when going in trying to negotiate the biggest fight of your career I mean I get it wanting to keep all of your money and not having to give anybody a % but at the same time you have to know what you're doing and understand all the Verbiage of Contracts. He has spent most of his life boxing, no time to go to school and learn all that stuff so that is why you do bring in at least someone who understand all that and can explain to you how Logistics and Analytics work.

          He clearly don't understand how Backend Works, he don't understand the BENEFITS of it and how it helped make Oscar and Mayweather a TON of money taking the Backend instead of just the Big Flat Guarantee Upfront while Letting Investors, Promoters and Networks walk away with HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of $$$ off your fight and laughing at you behind your back on how ****** you fighters are

          Transparency is part of the ALI ACT so the fact that he asked for that immediately tells a Al Haymon or whoever..."Oh He Doesn't Know WTF He Is Doing" also shows that Arum did not give him any Transparency and he defend Arum not giving him Transparency by saying "Oh But He Gave Me A Big Guarantee" not even Realizing that was going against the ALI ACT

          So while some fighters could probably pull off Representing themselves...Clearly NOT CRAWFORD and that is fine we can't be good at everything and expressing himself doesn't seem like his best Attributes and again that is fine BUT you can hire people for that.

          Don't ask Spence to leave his team which he is clearly happy with all because you're coming from a Situation in which you wasn't happy with. Crawford Struggle is not Spence struggle as far as Promotion goes.

            I agree with Porter 100 percent and Crawford ought to know this. At least have a manager who knows a a thing or two about business.

              Gets higher guarantees than Spence

              Can't represent himself.

                BoMac is his manager. However, he wants to cut him out the picture.

                He doesn’t want to pay him that 30 percent manager’s fee
                In perhaps the biggest pay day of his boxing career.

                I hope he doesn’t have anything in writing with McIntyre or else chances are Brian will sue him.

                  Well, Crawford is supposedly friends with a certain billionaire from Omaha who comes to all of his fights.

                  Maybe he can get this sorted out.

                  Matter of fact, Warren Buffett, I bet you to help get this fight done

                    Nobody is going to fly with a phantom offer from a guy wanting you to pay him, could easily be a bluff to try and get Haymon to pay him more.

                    The hedge fund sounds more like BS the further this thing went, all we have is TC saying it with absolutely zero to back it up.

                      Again I get it wanting to keep all his Money, 30% is a lot of damn money

                      Fighters should have everybody around them 1099 anyway honestly

                      shouldn't be any Long Term Commitments and Contracts that you can't get out of without having to go to Court
