Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford lets deadline pass to fight Sebastian Fundora

[Elheath]

Arum gave Bud his walking papers because he lost millions trying to promote Bud who has the personality of an ant. Bud has his mind on one thing only, kiss Turki’s ass and pray that Inshallah Turkie will be dumb enough to to pay Nelo $100M plus to fight him.

Bud was is a very good fighter when he fought subpar opponents and a shot Spence. He struggled against Madrimov. If Turki was wise and not being played by the three musketeers, (Warren, Hearn, and S. Brown), , he would make Bud v Boots. or even Bud v Teo which Turki won’t do because he can’t stand Arum, Teo’s promoter. Turki tried to buy out Top Rank and Arum told Turki to eat cake. Turki, being the arrogant, narcissistic, bully he is, got pissed.

Unfortunately, even with Hearn as Boots promoter, Hearn has been told by Turki to chill because he’s dead set on Nelo v Bud which is as dumb a fight as there is.

Crawford can’t draw flies to fresh camel poop, he’s a promoters worst nightmare. Don’t believe me, ask Arum. Bottom line, if Turki wants it, pay Nelo $100M plus, otherwise, as Nelo said to Turki in so many words, pay me or else, F off. Turki is quickly learning, he can control the three musketeers, but not the Mexican shot caller.

I don't exactly keep track of the promoter love affairs but didn't Top Rank just make some "promotional agreement" or whatever with Turki just a few month ago?

Nothing new here. Crawford has been one of the best boxers in this era but negotiations takes priority over belts and history.

He thinks he is worth way more what people are willing to pay to see him fight. He really has no solid fan base and all this inactivity has put him in obscurity.

He has not been the best boxer in this era lol.

Everybody is spinning wheels going crazy because nothing in the Crawford world seems to make sense.

One thing I have learned by selling large deals to big corporations for almost 35 years is this - when things make absolutely no sense and people seem to be behaving irrationally, I don't have all the facts. There is missing information that when it comes to light makes seemingly erratic behavior make sense, all is explained and all the pieces of the puzzle fit in.

This is the case here. Crawford is not retired and he is not scared of other fighters at 154. He is planning on doing something but he is not telling us what. He has been in Turki's pocket for months attending large events (as his plus one). They are definitely cooking something big which will be revealed when they are good and ready.

[BrankoB]

I 100% believed Crawford and his team were serious once they requested an extension. I am setting a personal best in being wrong as far what fights will or will not happen.

Me too. I have never been so wrong, like I have been on this topic.

[Bullrider]

Hard to break that cycle of fighting only once a year for five years now. But he should stop showing interest in such and such fight just to drive away youtubers. Dishonesty is a huge turn off.

Skill wise after the exit of Pac and Floyd retired all you have is him, Usyk, Inoue and the winner of Bivol/Beterbiev. Canelo has stopped fighting top fighters and Davis won't challenge himself.

[Oregonian]

Bus is not getting the Canelo fight. The Iron Sheik will pay Canelo 150 million and pay Crawford 50 million and they wil lose 190 million on that fight. Good!!!! On another note: If Fundora retires Spence then good...this is boxing this is what we wanna see champ!!!

How do you call it “losing $190 million” when the Saudis have billions to splash on pretty much anything and everything. It’s called FŨCK You money.

Inoue and Canelo are way ahead of Crawford.

Inoue and Canelo are way ahead of Crawford.

They have faced better competition than him. Crawford has wasted his career with TR when he resigned with them when they dangled a Pac and Taylor fight that never happened. An like he has been doing now failed negotiations because he wants to get handsomely paid. He is worth less than what the market wants to pay to see him fight.

Agree with you.
