Well, if Bud is getting 10 000 000 to fight Avanesyan, I guess he's not that bad of a business man.

Yeah while passing up on at least double that, really smart taking the lesser and burning a sht load of bridges while he is at it, you're kinda business man right lol.

Crawford is a clown and he probably retired without fighting and elite fighter or a real champion, he’s been ducking Spence for years and the rest of the top guys on the division, funny how he tried to blame Spence for not making the fight, when Spence wasn’t saying anything about Crawford,everybody knows crawford run to protect his undefeated record

Why can’t Crawford name the Hedge Fund guys?

That's only for Haymon to now. What's the point of putting investors out to the public and other promotions? Boxing fans not using logic again. I have someone willing to buy into my fight. If my fight doesn't go down, I'm going to pass that money along to the next person and hold that card till next year. Even if it isn't Spence, Ortiz is LA would be an option for an investor.

He is trying really hard to sell his story, which a little bit of proof would help his cause a lot, as would producing the contract he was asked to produce that would prove who is telling BS, and then he rang Errol and refused to tell him the hedge fund details, nothing adds up with what TC is coming out publicly with.

Bud would be the boss and have final say on wether to accept any terms or not so this sounds like a weak excuse from Porter.

If Spence's team genuinely want to make the fight, they will offer him the transparency he's asking for or a very good guarantee. If Crawford genuinely wants to make the fight, he will accept that.

Did someone say he can’t?

Crawford himself said he won’t divulge who the guys are.

Crawford didn’t even tell Haymon or Spence. Spence asked him who the Hedge Fund guys were and Crawford refused.

You are just a Crawford fan so you choose to believe his story. I get it. It’s the reality of how things work these days.

Who says he's passing? Plus, you'll never know this but, once you have a ****load of money, you don't need to bend over for nobody. So.. keep bending over. wink wink

Wellll reason would beg to ask why these mystery shadow hedge fund figures wouldn’t approach al haymon or a rep of his with a serious offer of such magnitude? Why go to Terence Crawford and not approach both sides? It doesn’t make sense.
