It is already known Crawford's has a very high self worth that the public is not willing to pay.

Glad its done and the fight is going down. Once Spence cracks him then Duckford with his fragile ego will have to stand and fight

It is already known Crawford's has a very high self worth that the public is not willing to pay.

Yet, he has been paid exactly what he's demanded..... So what public are you referring to?

According to Forbes Crawford's net worth went up from $8M to $10M in the last calendar year. So, if you are worth 7-8 figures......WHY WOULD YOU ACCEPT A NO GUARANTEE contract.....especially being that EVERYONE else that Spence has fought have gotten at least that........

Y'all spend so much time trying to hate on that man that you don't realize how clueless y'all sound.....

There's a reason why THIS is the biggest match up since Floyd/Manny. Crawford isn't known due to his social media accounts (Jake Paul), or how many people who follow him (Ryan Garcia), or drama outside of the ring (Adrien Broner) or creating fake beefs to market fights (Teofimo Lopez) or Claiming everyone is avoiding him (Jaron Ennis).........Crawford's relevance in this sport is due to his results vs the opponents he faced........6x world title holder across 3 divisions. 2x Lineal Champ. 2x Fighter of the Year. ESPY Award Winner. Undisputed at 140lbs. EVERY OPPONENT he's faced in the last decade has either been stopped or at least had the ref giving them an 8 count........ You can't find a single active fighter not name Canelo who is more accomplished.........But you are pushing this notion that he's not worth what he's asking for? And YOU don't even know exactly what he's asking for.

This new wave of "boxing fans" who are actually Man Fans are weird. A man is putting his health and life on the line and is DOMINATING and to claim he isn't worth what he's asking for because you love the man he's trying to fight is laughable.

This will be Crawford's biggest stage vs Spence by far......... And for all the "options" Spence and his fans claimed he had, THIS match up is by far the biggest stage he was going to get as well........ And there's a reason for that......Both are worth the attention of the entire sport and supporters. Regardless of how you try to break down their careers. 2 of the top 5 fighters in the sport are facing off for the FIRST Undisputed Welterweight Champion in 4 belt era. And a solid claim at #1 Pound for Pound....... You can't max out any bigger than that.

You raise some fair points, but when it comes to Crawford's accomplishments at WW, I think only a man fan would be lavishing such praise on him. He has largely fought dross at WW.

But I thought Bud got paid “$10 million” for his last fight alone. Where did that money go.
And that’s a pretty small net worth for a top P4P guy for almost a decade now.
Had he taken more risks and made bigger fights he would be worth much more at his age by now.

So you have access to the previous contracts and have inside knowledge that Crawford is getting paid what he asked for? Or can it be that he won't be getting paid as much anymore and this is the fight that he can make at this moment.

Crawford was a free agent and no one was rushing to sign him and he is not a house hold name. One of this era best boxer but remains unproven with his mediocre competition.

At this point everyone involved should be talking about the fight. All of the media reports placing delay blame on the other side is getting stale.

[peplz]

Cry me a river Mr. 60/40 70/30 or whatever we decide to give him Twitter fingers. PBC’s director of marketing Tim Smith came out and essentially said that they didn’t want to disrespect Crawford with their lowball offer so they weren’t going to attempt to make the fight at all. But somehow Crawford’s demands are what made this fight so difficult to make. If y'all believe this its because its what you want to believe.

Isn't it weird how the fight got signed after Crawford left Arum?.. . NOPE! Crawford's side has always been the problem.
