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

[KTFOKING]

So Coppinger stated in his article that Crawford will be making 3+ million every fight. Damn good purse but one that was necessary to keep him.

[BigStomps]

Terms were not announced, but Crawford's minimum purses are more than the $3 million he earned for his last fight, a source with knowledge of the deal told ESPN.

Well if that's his minimum per fight then he got a great deal from Top Rank! Anybody who says otherwise is straight hating!

Bob is still making a killing off of him. Look at Floyd there's more money out there if you go independent. However 3mil is 3mil I ain't hating. Get his coins.

His career will be lackluster tho. Just like Bradley.

Best argument you have? He will be defending that belt for years against bums no unifications in sight the same way pac did at ww

no. Its not an arguement. Just a simple fact. Crawfords the best fighter in the world. Other fighters need to fight himo prove themselves. And ummm...he conquered jww. Something nobody did in these modern eras. Given the chance he will do it at ww. No arguments and no fooking excuses and no 'get right or get left' drooling herd ****. Best fight the best or fook off. If spence is gonna fight a tiny guy because he got 'called out' and thats ok with the masses then its gonna be called equally by me. Any dumb herd **** need not apply for my attention. Im a pure boxing fan and i dont mingle with ******s. So if you are a 'team pbc', 'team top rank', 'team GBP etc then might as well just move on

When he signed with Top Rank in 2011, this is the order of fights he had:

Joel Casamayor
Pacquiao
Provodnikov
Marquez
Pacquiao
Diego Chavez
Jessie Vargas (who was undefeated at the time)
Brandon Rios
Pacquiao


No ****, who wouldn't fight Pacquiao 3x in a row, plus Marquez?

You do know that Tim Bradley was positioned to fight Amir Khan at 140lbs before making the move over to Top Rank, right?

Fight Khan and Lamont Peterson, and Bradley would've been the undisputed 140lb champion, with Danny Garcia, Lucas Matthysse, Mauricio Herrera, Ruslan and others in the cue waiting for him.

And, with the unified 140lb title to his name, he likely would've had a shot at a Floyd fight.

Bad thinking. Spence Thurman garcia porter aren’t making over 3 mil a fight.

Those guys ain’t floyd and neither is crawford.

Floyd Oscar and Cotto left but they were ppv stars and started their own promo companies.

Guys like Spence Thurman crawford don’t benefit by going the Mayweather route.

Mayweather was never part of pbc. He didn’t need to be parting that promotion. Garcia Spence Thurman etc need it.

Why did you do it Bud? I don't want to hear any of these cornballs talk about any fighters not from top rank avoiding Bud cuz its bob who won't make the fights happen. Smmfh

Bull****. If,these fights dont happen its because of the fighters, the managers, and the promotors. Sick of these dumbed down drooling excuses. Shortcut to thinking. Fighters in this new era need to demand the chance to be great. If they dont then fook em. Anyone,who lays out lame excuses isnt a boxing fan. NO FOOKING MORE. Ok peace out....

[Scipio2009]

the only difference is Crawford wouldn’t be the b side. He’s A side vs Porter Garcia Berto etc. He’s co A side with Spence now. Thurman would have been the a side but he’s been out too long.

I disagree. On sheer starpower (TV interest, live gate, sponsors, international TV, etc), Crawford is clearly behind Thurman, Spence, and Garcia. He's the A-side to Berto and the likely A-side to Porter.

The reach can only go so far where the only market where you're currently set in is Omaha Nebraska.

well said. people on here make out the fighters have no accountability

Here goes the haters talking crap on Bud Crawford. I don't see why hate on the man??
He's a great fighter, he has an exciting style, and he always comes to fight.
The only reason I can see they hate on him is cause he fights for Top Rank and not Al Haymon....
At the end who gives a fucc??
People are quick to blame Bob Arum for some of the best fights not being made but Bob has shown he's willing to work with any promoter to make the best fights.
Maybe All the fighters under PBC should leave Al Haymon and go fight under Top Rank ???
NOW I'M GONNA HEAR SOME CRAP FOR SAYING THAT.. 🤣
But on the real, IDK why some people even care who a fighter fights for..... ? They aren't getting any money for a fighter being under PBC.
And I don't even like that old punk motherfuccer Bob Arum!

When people complain about major fights not being made its cuz of bob not Al so maybe everyone should leave bob like everyone left don King . Tim Bradley said the only regret he has in boxing is that he never fought Floyd....I would have loved to see that fight cuz Tim was a great fighter so I wish I had the chance to see him & Floyd fight to see how Floyd would of pulled out a victory over Tim. Usually when bob makes fights is when his lower tier fighter has the upper hand with all the advantages....then there's money of course & network.......I wish I was wrong. Bob only proved me wrong once. I wish Bud a great & healthy career.
