Comments Thread For: Crawford-Collazo Deal Nearly Done; Could Be March 23 At MSG

Aha theres no problem not doing in house fights when theres a suitable scrub for crawford to fight. Benavidez was obviously too high a ranking, time to fight someone outside the top 50 this time lol.

Danny Garcia is basically third on the starpower pecking order (Pacquiao, Spence are ahead; Thurman is close, as is Khan).

Thurman is close to what? Nobody knows who he is.

Boxing fans may remember him, but casuals have completely forgot this clown. That's not even a diss. He did nothing to keep himself relevant.

Remember when Floyd retired? Dancing with the Stars? WWE? TV Commercials? Floyd kept his name relevant.

Keith Thurman is nobody. Nearly every WW has more "star power" than Keith. Not saying it's "right", but that's how it is

Danny Garcia is very unlikely to cross anything to be treated like a Crawford opponent, and Bob Arum committed too much money to keeping Crawford from jumping to do much of anything else.

Danny will have his Granados fight, likely have one more fight a touch above that level in the second half of the year, make his $3m+ for those two fights (with DSG Promotions being on the banner, Danny Garcia being a strong ticket seller in multiple markets, and Garcia-TBA basically being a headlining fight for Showtime/CBS or FOX), and then will have a big meaningful fight.

Be realistic.

Did you mean to be talking about Spence and his Algieri/Ocampo/Peterson fights?

Because Spence is the cab master. Hell he's fighting a 135 pound fighter in his next fight and guys like you are getting pumped for it.

It's pathetic

Guys like me? That fight is trash although the collazo one is much worse

[JWHardin]

Bro, you specifically said



That means Algieri or Brook. Or did you forget Spence fought Brook?

No, when I said that, I was talking about Algieri. I didn't forget that Spence fought Brook, and he fought about 20 other guys too, so you could have mentioned all of them too.
Brook is a 154lber that idiot chicken Khan is wanting to weight drain to fight him.

There are dozens of guys better at 147 for Crawford to fight.

Collazo manager Keith Connolly declined to comment on the prospect of the fight other than to acknowledge to ESPN that he and Top Rank president Todd duBoef have discussed it. Collazo's adviser is Premier Boxing Champions creator Al Haymon, and he and Top Rank generally do not do business with each other. But if Crawford-Collazo happens, it would not be viewed as any sort of breakthrough, because Connolly has more say-so with Collazo's career than Haymon

What's this response got to do with what I said?

[Scipio2009]

mgm has put up site fees for Crawford’s fights. Going to at&t stadium for those cheap tickets isn’t ground breaking.

MGM has never put anywhere near as much money behind a Crawford fight than had historically been put behind Spence.

The 135 pound guy won a title at 140, and fought 2 out of his last 3 at 140.
Garcia has more balls than any of the top 147lb guys, and is daring to be great by fighting the "Cab Master".

I am getting pumped for it, because it will be the best welterweight fight next year, unless one of the top guys step up. Crawford signed with Arum, knowing full well that it pushes the Spence fight off for at least another year. You can call the move smart, but not brave.

[alexguiness]

Terrible fight.

Crawford should be fighting the very best he can find at 147.

Collazo is basically a slab of meat for guys to keep busy with.

Dont forget he also signed an extension out of nowhere lol He definitely understands the implications of that decision. His deal wasn't even close to being done at the time.
