Mayweather wants to get boxing back in check and squash what he believes is a growing trend of fighters demanding more money than a fight is worth.

"I took chances but I want these fighters to stop complaining about money. These fighters keep coming to me, keep coming to Al Haymon - 'Al we want this, we want that.' I'll tell Al, I will go on record and tell Al - we're paying these fighters too much. These fighters are getting paid too much. Listen, go out there and kick ass, do what you're supposed to do and the paydays will come," Mayweather told a group of reporters after his company staged a show in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

I want to see the day when Crawford becomes a promoter. Won't be long because I think he'll have a hard time getting fights himself now for the remainder of his career. Espinoza was the middleman in the Spence/Crawford negotiations, but he's no longer in the business. I doubt Floyd and Haymon want the rematch, especially now that Crawford is the A-side.

But I don't want to focus too much on indicting Bud. Like I keep mentioning, I have to wait till he is put on the promoters' driver seat.

Then froid says that then they change it to "ya gotta be pretty boi froid before money may"


Idiots

Translation: no boxer is allowed to earn more money than me because it will impact my fragile ego.

I'd be very very surprised if PBC negotiates with Crawford for the Spence rematch. They never wanted the first fight in the first place, let alone after seeing a very lopsided outcome. It just sounds crazy to do it again, not to mention going through the arduous process and very time-consuming negotiations. Yeah, it's not expected to be smooth.

Who else is he going to fight? Boots? Yeah.... That's high risk low reward right there

Fight with Boots got 50/50 chance of happening now that Ennis is a free agent. Maybe BLK would resurrect their offer? And again, it's all up to Crawford.

Yup. I have incorporated Bobfather Arum in my other posts with similar subject. Didn't work. Just trying to see things in the promoter's angle.
