    I think it's great that he got Bob to overpay him, and then got PBC to pay more for him than they wanted to. Poor PBC and Top Rank playing checkers, while Crawford was playing chess. What stooge does PBC have for him next? These guys made themselves look great by facing PBC level talent, while avoiding the real threat. You know PBC tried to weasel out of the first Spence/Crawford negotiations by underpaying him, right? They straight up didn't want to fight him, even after he was a free agent.
    Just hearsay dude. What we know as facts is Arum and Crawford were at odds and he still stuck with him then sued afterwards.

    Tried to weasel out lmao. Another fact is the new p4p #1 took a stay busy fight with some unknown network to fight leftovers of his leftovers. Was that the best he could do as a free agent? Oh he wanted to fight the best and they were all avoiding him then backdoor a deal to fight David Avacado. Were there no other suitable challenges?

    Or was he doing what he's been doing and not taking too big a risk to secure the payday vs Spence? Him beating the crap out of Spence does not change those facts guy.

      Danny Garcia was offered $5 million to face Crawford. He turned it down for a $1 million fight. Porter could have fought Crawford at any time. He only agreed for his last fight. These guys were being advised against fighting Crawford. They could have done it at any time. Spence had to demand to fight Crawford. Come on.....Haymon wanted no part of Crawford. Everybody can see why.

        I would just love to see that fight. This would mark the third time that Terence Crawford challenges for the undisputed crown. This time it will be at the Junior middleweight division.

        Hopefully, Spence decides to push his rematch back into the latter half of 2024; So Crawford and Charlo can have at it. If Bud wins the crown; Then he would be enshrined as the greatest P4P boxer to have ever lived.​

          He's not typically but he gives me makes the fights that I want to see.
          Kambosos, Loma, Prograis.

          Sure I'd like a few more knockdowns and such here & there but I personally find it more enjoyable than watching say Tank pad his knockout record vs barely top 40 opposition that nobody has really even heard of prior.

          I'll always enjoy and support a risk taker over all of the stat padding going on out there

            If he fights Crawford, that's back to back defeats.

                Do you think Charlo is going to bulk up? Does he need to? The smart thing to do is just to not cut as much weight. He's already basically the same size as Canelo. He doesn't really need to lift weights to increase bulk. Anyway, it's entirely his choice to go back down. No crying allowed if Crawford beats him.

                  Charlo's imminent return to 154 could be delayed indefinitely due to him crawling around and trying to find pieces of his brain after Canelo fight...

                    If they end up fighting it’ll be strap season for Crawford and instead of mandown it’ll be the whole team down.

                      I would bet on a 10lbs weight gain, 164 vs 168 seems reasonable
