Comments Thread For: Crawford: "No Matter How Many Divisions You Conquer, There's Gonna Be Fans That Don't Like You"

[Boxingfanatic75]

Bud detractors don't talk reality. PBC and Spence said for years, Crawford is on the wrong side of the street. Bud leaves Arum to make the fight. PBC offers zero guarantee. Zero.

PBC wants Spence fighting guys that aren't a threat. Period.

You forgot to include just a little bit of perspective to your story that would have destroyed your argument…..NEITHER was offered a guarantee. BOTH were provided a contract with ZERO guarantee.

But hey, don’t let those pesky little things we like to call facts get in the way of a good ol fashioned emotional rant eh?

The percentage is the guarantee if you want to split hairs, its like being given a winning ticket to the lottery only you don't know how much your going to get until the sales are added up.

Spence is a PBC fighter. Bud is not.

PBC isn't exactly known for it's high business ethics.

And how was that emotional? You are the one talking about "destroying" arguments. If you disagree, fine. I notice that the Spence huggers get upset, super defensive, talk about race, they get incredibly emotional about the fight.

Pretty funny. Spence is boring to watch anyway, if he won it would be a boring UD. I could care less if they fight at this point.

I wish that Crawford could understand that pulling out of the Spence fight negotiations was not a good look for his legacy. When it comes to the art of negotiation, Spence appeared to be the better man at the negotiating table after Crawford inexplicably pulled out. He was able to keep his cool and think clearly under pressure, while Crawford became emotional and allowed his ego to get in the way. Spence also had a better understanding of the situation and was able to see the big picture, while Crawford was focused on himself and his own interests, leaving the table early to fight a different fight that very few fans wanted to see.

Pot meets Kettle lol, it cracks me up watching people denigrate the opposing fanbase when theirs do the same stuff lol.

You clowns on here hating on Terence Bud Crawford are delusional!!! Bud has fought everyone who was willing to fight him and he has dominated!!! Bud is the best fighter of his time and it is not even close; that's why he's the pound for pound king of boxing PERIOD!!! Also, you Errolsexuals can tell that drunk you support to go and get some help, Sprints Jr is a lying, ducking coward who has ducked TBC for over four years, Totally De****able!!!!!

It’s Bernie Tha Boxer, ladies and gents.

Crawford’s about to prove his haters wrong by fighting David Avenesyan, one of the best welterweights in the last decade. And proving what a star he is by selling 50k PPV’s.

He’s doing 1.5 million PPV buys easily. He’s TBE for a reason. Spence doesn’t want no smoke.

I’m still surprised that Max Kellerman didn’t ask him to reveal the names or at least give us some clues about those hedge fund. It just goes to show you that if the media likes you, they’ll do anything and swept anything under the rug for you.

It’s funny you know, how a “boring” fighter sells out stadiums and does twice as many PPV sales. Wonder how that happens?

hmmm very odd. We all want the fight but it’s obvious one person does not and that’s the extremely debatable, supposed pfp#1

The percentage is the guarantee if you want to split hairs, its like being given a winning ticket to the lottery only you don't know how much your going to get until the sales are added up.

That’s the exact way business is done in boxing anymore. You have one fighter that can barely break 50k per ppv, was overpaid for a decade through a promoter that was losing money. On the other side you have a proven PPV fighter who also sells out stadiums. Why do you think not a single promoter has jumped in to scoop up the supposed pfp#1? Because he can’t sell! You’d think all promoters would be jumping all over themselves to sign the supposed pfp#1 that’s now a free agent. However, it took a fly by night outfit ala RocNation/Triller to provide him his overpay. I highly doubt they’ll even make good on the loan they will default on in order to pay Bud.

Bud doesn’t like the fact that he can’t get his golden ticket guarantee. He knows he can’t sell s h I t. Of course Spence will take the no guarantee because he knows he can sell. The percentage is another issue. What business entity in their right minds would EVER provide more money on a percentage basis than what the fighter is worth given a decade of data that proves said fighter loses production shows money?

This is a business, not a charity.
