Comments Thread For: Crawford Says He Received Half of His Purse Already Ahead of Avanesyan Fight

[BlackRobb]

PBC is probably broke and waiting for an infusion of cash.

Well unless BLK can buy Ennis out of that multi year contract he signed with Showtime I highly doubt it!

Wasn't Ennis complaining why Crawford didn't pick him? And that he would take the fight in a hearbeat if it was offered?

Bob said Avan's check cleared. Crawford got 1/2 plus the other 1/2 due before the 1st round. Explain to me why he couldn't get a guarantee from PBC? Spence ducks Crawford and dangerous mandatories to fight a flute playing burnout but everyone external to PBC gets the blame. LDBC propaganda all over the place!

Because Haymon isn’t dumb enough to pay Bud that much knowing he’s not a draw and won’t make it back.

Do you think this Crawford fight will make a dime in profit? At $39.99 for the PPV they would have to sell 250k buys to make up just his purse. Not to mention paying the other fighters and covering their expenses to put on the fight. You think it’s selling anywhere close to that?

So because whoever BLK Prime is are willing to light $10 million on fire to pay Crawford that means Haymon should have made a bad business decision?

You must have forgot Bud’s last promoter said he lost money on him for years and no other established promoter wanted anything to do with him once he was free from Top Rank.

LOL, take the fight in a heart beat but submitted paperwork to the IBF to a Spence mandatory. When Ortiz didn't submit paperwork (Go see fighthype video where Oscar said we prefer to fight Spence, not Crawford bc he is better and more complex but Oscar don't know boxing better than people on these boards) for the WBO mandatory, that moved Ennis into the #1 mandatory spot. All dad and Ennis had to do was to petition the WBO for a mandatory and block the Avan fight. They didn't, just keep talking. It aint the job of an undisputed, 2 lineal to chase an unknown up and comer You are delusional or a fanboy if you think so. Ask him why he and his dad didn't send a petition to the WBO but sent one to the IBF.

Great business move for bud and his team. Getting the ring rust of and making 10mill in the process.
this is going to be a great fight, this guy is no push over. With 6 consecutive knock outs in a row he is full of confidence, he can switch has real power and he has nothing to lose.
These are the most dangerous fights.
I like how bud is moving on with his career.

So bud got 5 million in the bank but still don't know how to dress?

[Oregonian]

Had they asked for it, which they didnt even entertain, Im sure it wouldve been....

Spence did ask for it but you believe Spence is a liar and Crawford is the second coming of Christ himself?

spece doesnt know anything about cashing checks like that, !!

al hayamon trying to charge TC for air with his bs offers.

spence in hiding

BLK Prime must be really loaded to just burn $10m like that for Crawford. If this fight sells even 50k I would be blown away. And for a $40 dollar PPV, if it does sell 50k, that’s $2m dollars. BLK Prime is nuts.

[Hands of Stone]

They are not paying him 10 million. He's probably doing the promotion a solid to allow them to recruit and sign on based on the notion they pay well. He is also using it as a negotiation tactic when they get back to the table for a Spence negotiation. The numbers does not work no matter how you slice and dice. At 100,000 buys, the fight makes 4 million and even under Top Rank and with all the promotion push, Crawford's high I think is like 50,000 buys. They are probably paying him decent while taking some loss so they gain entry with a good name fighter. But no way, no how they paying him 10M.
