Comments Thread For: Crawford on Spence Fight: 'What Do Y'all Want Me To Do? ... I'm Trying My Hardest'

Damn, Bud is getting that Joe Frazier treatment...

That is one dumb, dirty comment. Frazier never ducked anybody in his entire career.

As for 'hitmanjosh', there is a particular place reserved in hell for white guys who think they can 'talk ******'.

The cure all is to take your back end money; The percentage and be done with it and then all parties involved; Including boxing fans would be satisfied. It's just that plain and simple.

All I know is BLK Prime is going to have just one thumbnail on that smart tv app for Crawford vs Avanesyan as an ATG back catalogue! Then the app dies within a year!

Welcome back Thuglife Nelo. I've missed you. This place is just not the same around here without you.

He would make more money fighting Spence it would have easily been his biggest purse, TC just didn't want to bet that fans would pay to see the fight, in which blind Freddie could see it was going to be a big PPV.

Bud wants guarantees for B graders which is not hard to do, with the big fights its often a percentage, the biggest fighters in the sport have taken and made a motza out of the percentage of all revenue.

Even if that’s the case I still think the bigger issue here is vengeance, envy, and fear. I think he knows Spence is in his last days (literally) at 147lbs. And with that he would love to make him hold out as long as possible. Make Spence sit in his hands because that’s probably what he’s felt he’s had to do waiting for Spence to collect the other belts.

He probably hates the fact that the majority of fans and critics say he hasn’t fought the competition to be as great as he thinks he is.

I also believe that he isn't as confident in his ability to beat top competition. Which is why he LITERALLY has not fought any fighter who AT THE TIME of their fight, was a force to reckon with in the division.

Bud...just move on and focus on Avanysan for now, never reply/feed Trolls they love the attention and once they know their Trolling Bothers you they pour it on even more

Whoever the hell is Ray Jackson on Twitter, that dude lives in Bud Replies, he is funny but a bit Obsessed

Then why doesn't Bud just block him?

PPV fights come with guarantees.

Shaw Porter got guaranteed money to fight bud. He didnt have to wait on a backend.

Amir Khan got guaranteed money to fight bud. He didnt have to wait on a backend.

But bud vs spence doesn't require guaranteed money?

anybody that thinks bud vs spence should happen with no guaranteed money is a idiot or a haymon fanboy.

Well you might as well get used to it because it is the way of the world. It's the PBC business model. Unlike TR, they don't believe in investing a lot of money on low reward fighters who lack crossover mainstream casual fans.

Here is what you all didn’t know. Haymon was always going to make Spence fight Thurman. He was the one who probably contacted the WBC to make Thurman the mandatory. Haymon said, we’ll send Bud a ****ty offer, hope that he doesn’t take it, and keep it in house and make the Thurman fight.
Send out word to a Spence’s YouTube and forum bloggers that Bud is a coward, and say that he ducked so we can ok the fact that Spence, who said that he would never fight Thurman…is fighting Thurman.

The duck and hate campaign is over. The PBC will be done soon when Paramount takes over. Haymon said… If I lose Spence after he loses to Bud I’m down one less fighter that I can line my pockets up with, sign, Albert or Allenthall Haymon.

All those fights you bring up lost money.

The PBC is all but dead. Spence will move up to avoid a Bud because he’s a *****. He was always leery of Bud. We all know that they were never going to fight in Nov. But Spence’s fans came to his defense and blamed Bud when they should’ve blamed Spence and Haymon. Now all of a sudden they can’t make a fight. Ward, Jones Jr and Porter all knew that the fight wouldn’t get made. Bradley too. Spence is a bonafide Haymon *****…
