Comments Thread For: Crawford: I Called Spence and We Agreed To Make Fight Happen - We Got it Done!

[El_Mero]

I guess the people who did Crawford’s ppv told him he doesn’t sell enough to give him another easy payday. He’s suing Bob so cant go there.

I don’t see what other options Crawford had other than finally accepting the terms to fight Spence he previously refused.

Highly doubt he accepted the previous terms. But do you...

winner should have to fight a mandatory after and as it'll be for all the belts, maybe two of the mandatories should fight for the honour. And as the chief support

The PBC side didn't want the fight to get made until they exhausted all other options for Spence. They wanted him to fight Thurman next but Spence held firm on the comment that he would never give Thurman a payday so they basically had no other option than to fight Crawford at this point.

No it was because Bud wanted a guarantee. He didn’t want any upside money because his pay per views cards often flop. Also, Al Haymon is no fool either. He wasn’t about to risk going out of business by overpaying Crawford. Now he has agreed to take the back end side of the money like all PBC fighters do after all.

Bruh he literally admitted to accepting the terms.... Go back and watch his hostage Instagram video where he's reading from cue cards. Dude wanted to get his payday in 2022 not 2023. That was the problem.

Early negotiations had a back and forth draft of the contract. Crawford complained about transparency, transparency got addressed. Revised draft was sent to him and he never responded. Who does that??? Oh I know, someone who already had a plan B the whole time. Somebody who already had a fight lined up.... Someone who had his argument already prepared: "how y'all gonna get mad at me for trying to get a bag."

Crawford basically said Muck the fans, I'm trying to line my pockets... And that's exactly what he did with David Kardashian (Avenasyan). Spence fight could have happened in February of this year.

Crawford is literally coming back to the same table he got up from, with the same terms. Nothing has changed. There's no guaranteed money AGAIN (go listen to Dan Rafael's podcast detailing that). Crawford saw easy money for the taking with BLK Prime and took it. There's a reason why he's not rocking with them no more, and neither is Broner.

Better late than never. I hope they do a good job of promoting this fight, it’s only two months away.

Bob really f up boxing. He’s like 112 years young and controlling what fights we watch

Yes, Bob is a cancer on the sport of boxing. I hate him so much. Teddy Atlas says it was him who ran him out of the sport.

That's how Gs are supposed to do it! Canelo, Benavidez take notes! The World is Waiting!

Take note and wait 4 years like Crawford and Spence. That's how G's do it.

Until the terms come out, all i hear is speculation

Damn there the same as Canelo vs. Benavidez! Damn Shame!

Just imagine if Crawford didn't sign an extension with Top Rank back in the days...

TERENCE CRAWFORD SIGNS EXTENSION WITH TOP RANK; NOW HE NEEDS A MARQUEE TITLE FIGHT

BY MIKE COPPINGER | 9 COMMENTS
Eddie Hearn and Al Haymon are armed with bundles of cash, but Terence Crawford isn’t going anywhere.

Bob Arum and Co. ensured the welterweight titleholder will be in the Top Rank stable for the foreseeable future with a new multi-year agreement that was announced Thursday. Financial terms were not disclosed, but Crawford’s minimum purse for each fight exceeds $3 million, a source familiar with the deal told The Ring.

Crawford is No. 2 on The Ring’s pound-for-pound list, and now that he’s being featured on ESPN programming regularly, his star continues to grow. He’ll make the first defense of his 147-pound belt in an October 13 fight against contender Jose Benavidez Jr. Crawford’s title victory over Jeff Horn in June was streamed on ESPN+; the bout with Benavidez returns “Bud” to ESPN...

There’s no denying Crawford’s immense talent, but to reach the next level and possibly crossover into the consciousness of the mainstream sports fan, he needs a truly marquee bout.

A fight with fellow welterweight titleholder Errol Spence Jr. looms as such an event, but there’s a hold-up. There always is in boxing. Spence is a PBC fighter, and will compete on Showtime/Fox, two networks with which manager Al Haymon just wrapped up lucrative long-terms with.

In fact, Haymon ostensibly controls the star-studded division. The Ring’s No. 1 welterweight, Keith Thurman, is an Al Haymon fighter. Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia, who fight for a vacant 147-pound title Saturday on Showtime, are also part of PBC.

If Crawford (33-0, 24 knockouts) is going to secure the career-defining fight he so badly desires, Arum and Top Rank president Todd duBoef will have to break down some walls.

They both got 8 figure guarantees is what I heard.
