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

What do you want him to do guys? He's trying his hardest to get an amount he's not worth and avoid all challenges and blame the other guys... C' mon man, what do you want him to do....

He's teaching Duckonomics 101 and next Duck class will be Advanced Duckonomics.

Al Haymon is one of the most powerful ppl in boxing. He has clout with trainers, managers, promoters, lawyers, cable and tv execs, venues, casinos, satellite providers, and anyone else involved in making a fight. He can get almost anything done in the sport of boxing. So if a PBC backed fight doesn't get made, it's simply because Al Haymon doesn't want it to happen. Who doesn't have common sense enough to understand that- raise ur hand?!? Knowing this fact, its real weird how many ppl try to blame Bud for not getting the fight made.
It's not hard to envision Floyd being an advisor of sorts to Haymon regarding matchmaking, with his boxing IQ, I'm sure his opinion goes a long way with Haymon. And I do believe Floyd is a major part of the c.ckblock. i'm sure he's told Haymon that there's a helluva possibility that Errol will lose to Bud, and Haymon probably feels like the only way Bud gets that fight is if he signs with PBC, plus takes such a small slice of the money that fight will generate, that its almost like fighting for free. He wants Bud to crawl on his hands and knees and lick the ground for that fight. Because he feels like Bud let Arum control 2/3 of his career, and now for the last 1/3, being that Bud doesn't wanna let Haymon have control of him, he'll never pay him his value. He'll crumb him to death at this point. Its big egos, pride, jealousy, and fear involved and thats why this fight may never be made. Floyd is a major hater and anyone can easily see that. He's jealous of Bud. He knows Bud would have beaten him. He doesn't want to see Bud shine. If Bud beats Errol, he hurts PBC in a big way. Ppl will then realize why it took so long to make the fight, and who was stopping it. Ppl will also then start to say Bud would have whipped Floyd if they were both in their prime, and Floyd doesn't wanna hear that. But its already true in my opinion. And he'll whip Errol too, if they ever meet in the ring

Found it. The dumbest comment in the thread and only scrolled to page 5. I'm sure you've watched Crawford in the ring with the best 147 lb fighters to come to that conclusion. Good job.

You are hanging onto such a lame excuse, it's obvious no matter what happened, Bud would receive way more than his biggest purse and way more than what he is getting for Avansyen. No guaranteed set dollar number for the Spence fight is lame the worst he could do money-wise is what ? 10/15mill with an ordinary to low PPV to 20/30mill with high PPV.

500k ppv buys at $75 per ppv= 37 million

Where is 20 to 30 million for each fighter coming from?

stop making up fake numbers

Don't know what are in those contracts, they say one thing, then another and then say something else.

Arum cried of how much money he was loosing with Bud and surprising once the contract was up he didn't hold him with legal litigations like he does with other top fighters.

If anything Bud really got paid for fights no one asked for but sued Arum for racism on the way out.

The PBC fighters either really like how they get paid with Haymon or they are in a very restrictive contract. I don't see any of them crying or trying to leave.

They are in restrictive contracts. Its in the contract that they can't even diss haymon publicly.

If I were Al I wouldn’t want anything to do with Crawford. But I’m a spiteful bastard but that’s just me.

Al will do the fight under 2 circumstances.

Bud signs with pbc and let's Al manage him

or

Somebody else guarantees bud side of the money which is where blk prime comes in

[Hustle]

What's funny is these fools didn't even know anything about guarantees before this whole Crawford debacle. All they have to do is look for the video where Eddie Hearn explains why that fight should have no guarantees. If they see his white face say it then they will believe it. Al asked Bud why would he put a ceiling on himself at 20 million. If the fight does really well and does 7-800k PPV buys he probably could get 40 million. Damn he's dumb.

Canelo got 40 million guaranteed and olant got 10 million guaranteed for a fight that did 800k buys.

So how the hell is bud gonna get 40 million from a 800k buy ppv. Where is errol money then?

Yall just be making sh$t up.

The fight would have to do a 1 million buys just to pay 1 fighter 40 million and have a profit. But now 800k buys gon pay 2 fighters 40 million a piece?

Simple mathematics bro.

Youre making out TC doesnt make any money Im saying he will get his biggest purse, your saying 20 mill is out of the question yet thats what TC reportedly asked for.

The fight could possibly do great numbers, lets say it did 680k buys how much would TC get with a 30% percentage on all revenue, the floor is yours?

Well your simple mathematics means the fight will never happen because Buds not going to make a ludicrous amount, what in your opinion, should Bud be guaranteed?

Let's call it 700k ppv buys. Thats 52 million before the cable provider takes their 45% which now takes 52 million to 30 million.

30 percent of 30 million is what? Its less than the 10 million he getting for Avansyen

The floor is yours

PPV is only part of the revenue, you have sponsorship live gate and merchandise which can be as much as the PPV.

You never answered in your opinion what figure should Bud have been guaranteed.
