People act like a manager is gonna hide options from his client. Thats a highly dumb move since the manager makes money off of his client's paydays & the more he gets his client the bigger his cut ends up being.
But to me that offer sounded weak. $3M to cross the street when he's making $1.5M-$2M on his side of the street ain't a big enough bump. And there is a leverage thing going on here to. Who the f#ck is Bud going to fight if not a PBC guy that anyone cares about? Top Rank isn't taking that reality seriously cuz if he was he'd know he needs to sweeten the pot to make it worth Danny's time.
Danny's not ******. He knows Bud ain't got no body to fight. So f#ck you pay me or good luck fighting Mean Machine & all those Eastern Euro dudes who can't nobody pronounce their names after being with TR for 2 years or w/e now.
Garcia only made $1.2M for the Porter fight, which was a big fight. Wilder-Fury PPV purses just came out (which is a bigger fight than Crawford-Garcia) and they're making $4M and $3M respectively. Danny Garcia won't get $3M anywhere else.
kenny porter is pretty pivotal in his sons life....if someone wants to fight shawn they go through them good ole boys....watson/haymon....yeah i know sr isnt as intricate as angel....but it makes no difference......it doesnt matter...flyd sr, kenny porter or angel...u wanna fight one of their sons u go to the most powerful man in boxing
al has his own program to run....he may prefer to put danny in with one of his other fighters to get 2 guys in on one date and network....so in order to try and break that up, if you are an outsider, you present an offer to haymon.......
haymon has more power in the sport and business than angel...angel runs barber shops and his daughters' rap career......negotiating tv and network deals with a rival promter is not amongst angels level of expertise
stop making excuses for bob and bud...i love bud actually....but he only dropped this **** after the collazo fight was out there and he knew the public was going to hate it....but bob doesnt have many options so he needs to make it look like he tried for something big and better.....its the oldest trick in the book....u are falling hook, line and sinker
the public has 0 interest in crawford/collazo at a time when crawford should be doing something bigger....and this danny stuff is just to save face
you go through al.....the power broker in the sport...the man that has made billions in revenue.....not some fighters dad....
Why do you regard Al so highly? If he is the most powerful man in boxing then surely he is a large part for the current decline in boxing in the US.
None of his current fighters are on or near Floyd level in anyway and seem to have large periods of inactivity.
Plus I'm sure you would have been quick to moan when Hearn said that all the middle weight title fights will be on DAZN as they will have all the titlists but it's okay for Haymon/PBC to freeze Crawford out even though he's actually a title holder himself.
I don't get this fanboyism protection of promoting company's and their advisers at all costs. You got guys saying who has Crawford fought a top level but these PBC fightersare the guys at top level that he should be fighting he proved he was dominant by below so he's gonna at least be competive up one class and he's got a title that's got to be worth it just taking that if he's no good.
It's like you don't see Spence and the others go anywhere near him.
Crawford resume is a an absolute joke. Even DSG has a far more comprehensive resume then him
How can he have the gull to call out and insult anyone is beyond me.
Doesn't help when guys are ducking him. Top Rank offered Garcia the equivalent of Wilder-Fury PPV money and he didn't even reply. Why not? Fans want the fight.
Your stance/opinion is completely delusional and devoid of logic
Let's be real...u hate haymon and anyone affliated with him
Haymon is, if not the most, at least one of the top 3 most powerful men in boxing....he runs his own outfit without a license...everyone knows that.....if u want a fight with one of his a-listers u best be in touch with him....because he prob has his own matchups /plans for Danny going forward.....
U can call angel...that's cool...but u best be calling angel and haymons people.....u want to fight bud u best call buds dad annnnddd the top rank boys....it's simple....haymon is powerful....u don't seriously want a fight with his guy unless u contact him ....it's real simple...if u don't understand that u need to find something else to occupy ur time cause this isn't for u
Let's call it what it is....Crawford has another fight that is a huge waste of time...and they don't have much of a choice cuz they have no real options ....they know this and are trying hard to save face with buds fans ...
U don't try to fight one of als guys without contacting him....Al is powerful and has plans for his guys....u don't just call a guys dad lol....if u think it works that easy u are plain dumb
When Floyd picked u to fight u think they was negotiating with Floyd Sr on the phone? Lol.....dummy
FANBOY ALERT and for the record no one reads your post when you try to write a novel and sound like an idiot in the first 2 sentences

I feel ya. There seems to be some weird ass PBC protection agency infiltrating this place. Whatever happened to top fighters fighting each other? Who cares who they are promoted by? Bud is Danny's best option right now to get him right back in the mix with the other top guys.

We went from HBO vs. Showtime to PBC vs. Top Rank vs. DAZN. It's spread even thinner now. Fans are the biggest losers in the end.

LOL exactly. I cannot for the life of me comprehend the mindsets of some of these fans. They are out of their minds now. They are actually trying to justify why attractive fights should not happen.

i regard al highly because hes been involved in some of the biggest fights the sport has ever seen
bob arum once told floyd hed lose money to do an oscar fight ...bob arum shortchanged floyd...yet al got it all right
guys like floyd dont come around often....and he may be building something decent with wilder if wilder can hold up his end of the bargain by winning
al has the largest collection of talent in the sport and they all love him....it just is what it is...im not a fanboy of him...theres nothing to really know....he doesnt show up or give interviews...you just get what you see
i actually like crawford more than danny...genuinely...and i think crawford beats danny relatively easily....it has nothing to do with promotion being a fanboy..im just telling u the truth...u want to fight one of als a-listers? you dont go running to their fathers...u go see sam watson and get to al.....
spence doesnt have to go near crawford right now...he has a ppv fight coming....he still has porter in line...and thurman is on the comeback trail and will be there.....spence doesnt need crawford
as far as what hearn said...its fine...to the victor goes the spoils....dazn has the mw talent? good for them....als team will now be forced to figure things out for charlo and get him in the mix
the problem for crawford is that al has a bunch of good/compelling matchups he can make in house...if al didnt have options for spence, danny, porter, thurman and mikey then hed prob have to go get crawford....he doesnt have that problem
but the reality is...crawford is facing a crap situation and he knows it...which is why hes tossing dannys name out there to act like hes trying....hes going for the lowest hanging fruit......because he knows he needs to save face...hes got a crap fight again and he has to try to sway the fans from losing interest in him
ive said it like 5 times already..its really simple..if you want to fight danny u go to watson and al...not dannys dad
dannys father isnt the one filling pbc dates on multiple networks...als team does that...so if al has plans to match danny up with another one of his fighters you have to change HIS mind not angels
