Comments Thread For: Crawford Explains That He Became Smarter About Business, Says it Created Issues With Top Rank

[BlackRobb]

Respect to Crawford but at the same time you gotta know your worth. Dude isn't worth 30million. He was putting asses in seats and the ppv numbers against porter and postal showed that. But good for him to break away and beat a hypejob. Becoming a star in the process

Spence is no hype job. He's a very good fighter who was never on Crawford's level despite what "pundits" like Bread Man Edwards and Max Kellerman said. Trust your eyes and brain, not talking heads.

[BlackRobb]

Crawford is getting carried away with himself for beating up on a clearly physically affected Spence: the only fighter who looked as worn out and washed as Spence did before the opening bell was Povetkin when they dragged him off his COVID bed for the Dillian Whyte rematch.

Also, before he fought Spence, what fight did Crawford have that was so big that he “took a $5 million guarantee but left $30 million on the table”? The Porter fight? Jeff Horn? Amir Khan?

Please.

Crawford is just talking right now to hear himself talk.

The best thing that could happen is for Spence to turn down the immediate rematch, Canelo to whip Charlo in such decisive fashion that there’s no appetite for a Charlo-Crawford fight and for Showtime to put pressure on Crawford to take a fight with Boots because it’s the most lucrative, realistic option for him.

And then for Boots to beat Crawford and put an end to all of this tireless gloating.

You Spence fan boys love moving the goalposts. Instead of admitting Crawford was, is and always will be the superior fighter, you guys have to pull fifty-seven different excuses out of your azzes.

You can be good and still be a hypejob. Canelo is a good fighter, but he's nowhere close to what he's been hyped as.

Let’s be honest, Crawford boxing career has been a bad investment for his promoters, if not how you explain the poor ppv numbers against Spence,, so he will never be at Canelo’s level or Maywheater, there’s levels in boxing for a reason

Fair enough. Not great but really good

Wow, most can see he was just using that number as an example, You or I don't know what the real deal with Spence's condition but he called off a much more lucrative fight with Pacman because he was not 100% so why would he fight for much less if he wasn't 100% doesn't make sense to me, Spence was befuddled and outclassed in that fight and IF he came in less than 100% shame on him. Some of the great ones do it and still win. Who's to say that Bud was 100% in that fight? I've seen Bud fight at less than 100 get hit or rocked and still win. I like Boots but he needs to fight some mid- tier like Garcia or Ugas to see if he is mentally on par with a fighter like Bud. As much as you dislike him, he is a superb fighter and what he said is an honest and truthful statement about the boxing game, look past your own prejudice and you will see it for what it is.

Canelo has been hyped up as the best fighter of this generation and he is.

Let's be honest, if you are judging fighters by the money they can bring to promoters/numbers and not for the skills, ability, ring generalship ect. you are definitely not a real fan, there are levels to being a fan as well. What you just said only solidified his statement it's all about money to the promoters, a good investment is when I get 98% of the $$$ you make a bad investment is when you get 15% for risking your health. The more"fans" like you buy into that mindset the less this sport becomes. When you can make more money being an internet sensation instead of in the ring.....sad day
