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.
      His high is 125k (Porter).

          I believe PBC has blocked or purposefully not made meaningful fights, which they have, to fit their agenda.

            This is too good to be true for Bud Crawford. Is PBC so broke they can't give Crawford an offer he can't refuse? $0 guarantee with zero transparency seems a joke don't you agree?

              what we have here is an opportunity for bud to cash in on this, the theme is bud zero, he could bring out his line of non alco drinks and cash in on all the publicity because thats his name now, bud zero

                So what if someone gets injured or pulls out of the fight? Crawford is just holding 5 million bucks? Interest free?

                  It is for a super fight. If promoted right you could make a good prediction of this ppv. What they’re doing is trying to pay Bud off of his past ppvs and it does t work like that. They tried to pull the ole squeeze play on Bud. You can’t treat the best or one of the best fighters in the world like that. He’s already letting you earn more than him, so why not show transparency? They never had any intention of making this fight in November. They were always going to try to make the Thurman fight and attempt to say that Bud ducked Spence. I saw this from the beginning. Spence isn’t the type of fighter that fighters duck.

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!
                      He couldnt get a guarantee coz PB**** dont want the fight and put spence, their last cash cow against crawford. SIMPLE AS THAT. And these spence fanboys are too istoop33d to see that.
