Comments Thread For: Crawford's Coach: We Want Spence, Biggest Name For Us at 147

[markther]

We have been waiting for the Crawford Camp to say this. What’s your response Spence? Can’t make the fight because of this, that, and the third? Have to fight Garcia 1st and then Porter. Can’t wait to hear Spence respond and I like him. He is supposed to be the big bad wolf at Welterweight.

Crawford gotta take care of Benavidez first

[AdonisCreed]

Spence should come out and take him up on his offer!! They've both been jawing back and forth now it's time to make it happen. I hope this ain't some publicity stunt!!

Spence was talking like a straight hoe with his network/promoter talk. Bud wants it right now.. stop chasing the smaller Mikey. Spence is slowly turning into another Thurman. all that confidence fading away. Crawford got these boys shooked.

Crawford has some skills but the fact that he was dropped by Gamboa gives me reason to believe Spence can get outboxed by Crawford but eventually overwhelm him late. Kinda like Hurd did to Lara (I'm still pissed at that lol Oh well lol)... Also Crawford hasn't fought the best guys in the world either.

Hilarious for this to be their position after signing another extension lol

BoMac is a clown in my view. He's like an AAU coach. Just does a bunch of talking while not being very sophisticated.

If your guy is moving up to WW, why sign an extension? It made little no sense. He'll get squeezed out fighting on ESPN. That's just the reality of his situation. Dude is 31. We're looking at another Tim Bradley situation here (except no Manny).

I'm not sure how much time Crawford has as a Top Rank fighter but if these fights are not made, he and big Mac will be looking to jump ship to Al Haymon. Not every fight can be PPV with the other top welterweights. TR has a very though job ahead of them.

Crawford just signed a new deal with top rank... his team doing a Mikey Garcia right now

“Right now, the biggest name at the welterweight division for Terence is Errol Spence,” McIntyre said. “So what we’ll do is, and I’m glad Todd on this call, is just put the pressure on him. ESPN is the leader in sports. They want to be the leader in boxing, they’re gonna go out and make those fights happen. So that’s what Terence wants. They want Terence to be the No. 1 fighter in the world, so they must do their job, we do our job, Todd do his job and then the whole job is going to be done.”

I don't understand this strategy by Team Crawford? Bud knew when he signed with TR, and extended his contract with TR, how the game is played! Bud was an active fighter, and watched how Mayweather vs. Pacquiao played out! So there is no effective way to put pressure on Todd Duboef nor Bob Arum! If you wanted to apply pressure, you would've needed to be in a position where you could leave TR! At that point Bud could say, "Get me Spence or I call Al Haymon," "Get me Thurman, or I call Al Haymon," "Get me Porter or I call Al Haymon," "Get me Danny Garcia, or I call Al Haymon!" At this point, Bud can't even say "Get me Pacquiao!" SHAME!

He wants spence, but he fights benavidez. Then he will want spence, and fight another bum.

Its how they are managing him. As long as he gets paid, he doesnt seem like he cares too much about establishing any kind of legacy.

Name dropping to sell their farce of a fight
