Why Mayweather vs Crawford could happen

[beautyistruth]

Al Haymon will begin his new content distribution deal with Prime so he needs big attraction and big fights to sell to the public, who may be weary of paying for PBC in house set ups which fizzled out HBO, FOX and Showtimes ratings and profits. Right now Haymon has Canelo for two more fights, probably vs Charlo and ??? (Benavidez is too dangerous to risk the Canelo gravy train on.) Wilder is done as a main event star. Tank Davis just lost considerable value by ducking Haney. He also has Crawford for one more fight and could re-up that contract. So suddenly a Crawford vs Mayweather fight looks possible. IF Haymon can force Floyd to do it. For all Haymon did for Floyd for the last 15 years, maybe he can force Floyd into it, Would be a very interesting historic and likely changing of the guard fight, like Ali vs Holmes, Louis vs Marciano, Jeffries vs Johnson, etc.

Only one boxing writer as suggested this option so far, though it does seem crazy it also makes a lot of business sense. And possibly another $100m for Money May. https://ringobserver.com/crawford-vs...oming-in-2024/

It's not going to happen.

0% chance.

Floyd is 47 years old next month…

It's not going to happen.

I'd say 40-60 it happens. If Floyd is running low on millions and Haymon gets poor numbers on Canelo's next fight he may need to beg and or force Floyd to do it.

If Mayweather vs Crawford happens it means that Mayweather isn't as rich as people think he is

[JakeTheBoxer]

Stop dreaming. Floyd is nearly 47 and no chance he fight a legit contender in a true fight ever again. Even less he would fight a welterweight champion.

There is more chance Wilder actually fights Zhang.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Absolutely no chance.

It would not even be a competitive fight. It would be like Holmes/Ali, though I don't think Crawford would hold back. Even those that hate Floyd would not find much satisfaction.

Mayweather ducked Pac in his prime. He ain’t screwing with Bud as an old man UNLESS he’s broke. Bigger money with Mayweather vs Pac 2. Less risk too.
