Dan Rafael: Crawford unhappy with the $, will not fight Postol

[mathed]

This generation is nothing but divas smdh

Just when you think there are still a few old school warriors out there, they go and pull some diva mess right when you least expect it.

Shame on Crawford if this is true. Let's be honest he's not a big name or big draw. And he hasn't beaten NOBODY at 140. And he's turning down career high 7 figure paydays? If guys like this who barely sell in their hometown of Nebraska are pricing themselves out of fighting the best guys in their weight this is a big problem for boxing.

Whats the rumored guarantee? If its around what he's been getting I can see him not accepting it.

Is the purse Crawford turning down for the PPV Postol fight a career high for him?

Dan Rafael, King Fight Freak (12:29 PM)

Yes.

Turning down a career high payday to do what he's supposed to do. SMH.

There's no excuse for this. There is a 7 figure payday and the guy isn't taking it. If he's so sure of his drawing power make it PPV and give him some of the earnings. Watch him flop in the process. I like Crawford but if he's going to act this way ship him to PBC with all the other duckers who think they are worth more than what they really are,

Crookford vs Karim Mayfield coming up..

Very disappointing if true. Money is killing a lot of fights right now.

I agree 100%.

Everyone wants that big boy pay day, but few are prepared to take on a big boy challenge.

He's a guy that was getting thoroughly outboxed by a tiny, blown-up Gamboa and has beat average-at-best opposition since. No surprise that he's not interested in a good fight.

He's getting 7 digits now. And if its still a career high payday, but only like 1.5M (when he's getting 1.2M for Lundy) then I could see an issue too. You can't pay a guy 1.2M for Lundy who might not even be a top ten guy in many fans minds & not expect to pay a guy a bigger payday for the 2nd best guy or arguably the #1 guy in the division.

He was being outboxed by the average, chinny Dulorme as well, people will just say he was 'adjusting', but the reality is, it's ****ing Dulorme, you don't need 6 rounds to adjust against a C level guy like that.

Crawford is just a decent fighter and nothing more. Can't believe people are picking this guy to beat Pacquiao.
