Why can't promoter Floyd make an offer to Crawford for the Ennis fight?

    So I don't know man. It's probably too much to ask. I'd rather see BLK Prime resurrect their offer. And that's what fans should be encouraging if they truly want to see the fight.
    Which is why I'm trying to make it clear that merely attacking Bud for the Boots fight, and not also cover how the fight gets made, whether PBC is expected to do something about it, etc. will not work and come off as sincere. They have to show that they really want to see the fight.

      These anti-Crawford, pro-Spence-Ennis fans are not being creative. Making offer to Crawford, even if it's a fake one, for the Ennis fight would put pressure on the #1 P4P. It would put him on the spot. He'll likely demand a huge paycheck. And that's where the fun begins. Right now just blaming him won't make any dent because there's no offer on the table to turn down on.

        I don’t know if Floyd is their promoter. If he is, I can see why you are annoyed no offer was made.

        Context matters. Once you unify against the best other guy in the division, you usually go up in weight.

        I agree that Crawford could’ve made the Boots defense while awaiting Canelo, Spence and Charlo to decide if they would fight him for more money than a Boots fight would bring.

        But It’s hard for me to fault Crawford for waiting though given the money and boost in profile he got from destroying Spence.

          What's the point? Booty will just get exposed again and turn it down when blk prime offered the fight.

          It's better for the haters it doesnt happen so they can hold on to the delusional that bud is ducking

            Perfect time to make the fight. Both fighters have been inactive. Otherwise, retire.

              What happened with that exactly, wasn't it a legit offer and he turned it down? Why? Not getting close to the money Bud would have gotten? He could have belt on himself won then he'd be calling some shots now he might have to fight Karen again.

                The same can be said for three quarters of today’s fighters

                  His dad is on record saying they turned it down "out of loyalty to showtime". Which is fvkcing ****** sense showtime didn't have dates for him and showtime is non existent now.


                  So they turned down a shot at a title and their biggest payday because of "loyalty" apparently

                    So which promoter do you expect this fight to make if it's not from the PBC people? Any idea from people who keep demanding this fight?
