Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Inks New Multi-Year Deal With Top Rank

[killakali]

No I understand business, very very well . I know boxing pretty decent, Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act forbits managers to be promoters. Al Haymen illegally is not a Promoter. He does organize the events but I believe it's owned by a hedge fund. As far as I know unless I am lost Bob Arum just signed with ESPN. I know for a fact you don't have Top Ranks financial reports. So basically you just talking bs unless other wise you can send me his fiscal report form 2004 until now on those so called fights he's lost money on. I would love to see where he signed fighters in the past with guarantee purses and lost money on those fighters.

You don't have to have the financials. Talk to anyone in boxing. Promoters and managers lose money a lot of the time on fighters. Its all about the long run. When Bob Arum dies Todd will take over. Thats why they signed the most 2016 olympians.

The big names are going to stick wherever their going to stick; if the deal is big enough, the fight will move with the money.

That's the big names conversation.

Still, Arum doesn't even let the medium or small names move around

I find it funny how once BUD renews his deal with top rank that's when Errol decides to call him out...… Im not implying Errol is scared im implying that their fight is already agreed upon.

I believe Terence Crawford has a opt out option inside of his new contract. 3 mill a fight is nice but its similar to what the top guys at pbc are making. Which is something to think about. Back to the subject though no one else finds it fishy how they are now promoting the fight

Remember it wasn't Bob and Al who got the maypac fight done it was les moonves who put pressure on them. With showtime, fox, and ESPN now invested in these guys they are not going to let a massive ppv check slip out of their fingers.
They will pressure AL, and BOB eventually,
Bob and al have to know this.

Terrence Crawford is a smart guy but he tweeted a long time ago how they were pushing lomachenko more than him. Now all of a sudden Crawford is being pushed. NO!! when his contract was about to be expired he got someone to help him negotiate or atleast got more than the 3 mill.


Just my theory

Bradley will be elected to the Hall of Fame. Danny hasn't had a hall of fame career. He still has time but Bradley fought prime unbeaten Peterson, Vargas, and Devon Alexander when that fight was hot plus he beat solid champions Miguel Titere Vazquez, Junior Witter, etc. Marquez was still at the top of his game even though he was older.

The problem with Danny is Brandon Rios, Nate Campbell, Kendall Holt, Paulie Malignaggi, Erik Morales were all shot. Just look at what they did after Danny fought them.

Bradley fought a shot Joel Casamayor no argument there. But you can keep going with his solid wins like Abregu, Provonikov, etc and they were all in their primes

I personally don't think Bradley should be in the hall of fame but I can see him getting in on his third try. I mean his career was nothing better than Buddy McGirt.

The only reason Errol Spence went off, imo, was because Terence Crawford waited until he got his guaranteed money secured to then talk out the side of his mouth for wanting to fight all of thw PBC guys, knowing damn well that Bob Arum isn't gonna go for any of it and just signing away the next how many years more to Arum makes it absolutely clear that Crawford doesn't call his own shot anyway.

You add in the rumors of Spence getting his swerve on during the event, and it's pretty easy to see how he'd go off.

Terence Crawford can't speak for himself, and everyone knows it; he's got Benevidez in October, will hope against hope that he can get Manny Pacquiao in the spring, and then the well runs dry.

Both McGirt and Garcia had something in common. They were both lineal champions.

Ummm like before nobody really has a bullet proof resume. I def will give you respect if Bradley does indeed get his name called. I think if he was under golden boy back in those days he would have a few more loses on that record. He did well under Bob.

Crawford still had 2 years left on his contract when he signed this extension.

crawford has been calling out Spence all year. He didn’t just do it after resigning.

Spence swerved Crawford by saying he needs to take care of his side of the street first. Even though his side already shot him down. Kenny Porter just said fight has to be ppv or it ain’t happening. That ppv wouldn’t touch over 150k buys so that’s his way of saying no thanks.

Spence isn’t his own boss. He dies what Haymon tells him. If he was his own boss he would put his foot down for Crawford or Thurman or Porter but Al makes him fight guys like Peterson instead.

If Spence is a boss and wants a big fight he can just tell Al he wants Crawford for his first fight next year. Crawford fights Benavidez. Spence fights Berto. They fight in March. But Spence doesn’t have any say in who he fights.

The problem is you are greatly under rating Bradley’s 140 pound run
