Comments Thread For: Kavaliauskas-Arriaza Winner Could Be Next Foe For Crawford

[Pigeons]

When Crawford was 140lb undisputed champion and held all 4 belts he had a choice which belt to fight for when he entered 147. Spence had the IBF. Thurman had the WBA & WBC. Horn had the WBO. Which belt did Crawford choose to fight for?

The WBO is the only organization that has bylaws that allow its champion from another division to be installed as mandatory in another division.

Despite not having any name recognition, Kavaliauskas is a good scrap for Crawford. It'll definitely be a better fight than Benavidez.

I'm down to watch this fight.

Abreu came out of that fight looking the better fighter.

how ignorant are u? Do u follow boxing? The WBO is the ONLY sanctioning organization who automatically makes a champion the mandatory challenger when they move up in weight. The other 3 don’t. U gotta be ****** AF to think he had a choice and coulda fought Spence or Thurman as a mandatory instead of Horn.

Go educate yourself on the sport before u embarrass yourself anymore.

Doubt he's making 3mil per fight, i get the point tho. What you fail you mention is that established fighters like bud are not taking these type of risk. This guy seems like a good prospect; imagine Thurman, porter or Garcia facing spence when he was only a prospect. PBC fighters never have to take risk like this. They either fight big fights or fight has beens like Peterson or rios and make 1.5-2 mils.

dont doubt it. Fat Dan Rafael already reported Crawford’s new minimums as OVER 3 mil per fight son. Just google Crawford’s extension. He’s the highest paid welter in the game

I didn't say be installed as a mandatory. He could've gotten a high ranking from any of the sanctioning bodies because he was the champ moving up. One fight beating Ocampo and he's Spence's mandatory

A star like Crawford isn't going to take a 25% mandatory cut. He got paid more than Jeff Horn did by a lot for Jeff Horn's title.

Cool, so he choose the money. Glad you keeping it real.

Now he choose the money instead of going after Spence or Thurman and he also chose the money be resigning with Top Rank while he knows all the top welterweights are across the street. No problem with that.
