Comments Thread For: Showtime Head on Crawford's 'Transparency' Demands: Absolutely Baffling; Got to Have Certain Level of Trust

First of all, you did get May vs. Pac, Fury vs. Wilder x 3, you got Crawford vs. Porter, and you're about to get Fulton vs. Inoue, so it's not about "none of the PBC guys," it's about Spence vs. Crawford! Arum said the fight wasn't big enough for what the fighters want. Crawford is suing Bob Arum, not Al Haymon! Crawford has issues because of his dealing with TR, so let him deal with BLK Prime, whch will give him 8 figures to fight Avanesyan, etc.! Spence is cool with his relationship with Al Haymon, and many others too, so let's move forward! If they can do Tank vs. Garcia, then they can do Spence vs. Ortiz Jr., however, let's get Spence vs. Boots first! F--k Bud Crawford!

Oh do come along old boy, we don’t let facts get in the way of good old fashioned council estate propaganda

My bad! Did I forget to mention Ortiz Jr. vs. Stanionis? Lol!

Of course they do guarantees. Look no further than The Spence-Ugas fight where both guys were getting 1.5 Million and then a cut of PPV sales.
Imagine not getting any upfront money in todays PPV climate. You'd have to be a dummy to accept that offer.

Whether that is true or not it still doesn’t change the fact that neither Spence or Duckford were getting a guarantee for this fight anyway.

They both were only going to receive a percentage of the bout’s total gross. With Spence’s percentage being the highest.

Which was the reason why Team Duckford walked away from the talks and negotiations after demanding upfront money and financial transparency.

Facts.

Crawford has been calling out Spence for years.
Crawford left his promoter to get the fight.
Crawford is suing that same promoter for not getting him the fight.
Crawford accepted the low-ball percentage.
Crawford accepted no purse guarantee.
Breadman Williams states, if the A-side wants the fight to happen, the fight will happen.

Spence, you're a rare talent in our time, but no one will ever let you forget walking away from the biggest fight of your career.

Crawford is not standing in the way of your path to greatness. He is the path.

So we're supposed to believe ratfink Espinoza? Lmfao

[Robi13]

Smfh, how dare anyone want transparency, FINANCIAL transparency at that, from showtime!? Wtf??? All that bs Espinoza is rambling about is just that bs! There isn’t anything wrong with what bud is asking for. It’s a huge fight and he wants to basically not be screwed. Espinoza claims he knows how it works they’ve done it many times right?! Well… you know more or less what this fight will generate money wise so why not be transparent with it? Smh greedy bastards

Lol last time I check it was Bud who left negotiation table and everybody hanging with that lack of transparency excuse not Spence.

PBC seems to be a shady laundering operation. PBC has never been concerned with turning a profit from day 1 and only use fighters who will ask no questions while they keep there books top secret classified.

" Got to Have Certain Level of Trust" is that a Don King quote? It sounds like something Don King would say.
