Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford-Amir Khan Officially Set for April 20 ESPN PPV

Bud has disappointed me here .If Sammy Vargas can do that to Khan in his last fight what should Crawford do!

Bud is right , it will move his career to another level....down!
With all the talent at 147 this is an appalling match up and PPV ...I don't think so!

PPV? Good luck with that.

April 20 = 4/20 featuring BUD Crawford and Amir Khan (AK strand)

They should really make a strain called Bud Crawford that comes on slow but eventually knocks you out.

I'm not really excited about this matchup either but I said it before and I'll say it again, who else is available at 147 for him to fight?

This and honestly even if Crawford did align himself with the pbc, when was the last time two top fighters in the pbc stable voluntarily fought each other? Thurman vs DSG in March of 2017. I mean voluntarily because the porter vs dsg was for a vacant belt. Spence is fighting Mikey and porter is fighting ugas. I think Crawford vs khan will be more competitive than people think, at least for the first couple rounds

This isn't hard to understand - the fight is on PPV because they have to pay Khan $5 mil and Crawford will probably make around the same. Those types of fights aren't happening on regular tv.

As for the opponent, I'd take Khan over all of the other non-PBC welterweight options. We all know Crawford isn't getting the PBC guys until they all fight each other. Also, Top Rank made an offer to Danny Garcia which Angel didn't respond to, which makes sense since he probably doesn't want Danny fighting Crawford coming off two consecutive losses.

I hope Terrence goes for the KO. He could easily just beat him up for 12 rounds.

Look for Khan's after fight interview to go some thing like this;

'Crawford showed me tonight why he is the no. 1 welterweight in the world today. He will beat Errol Spence'...! Setting up the Brook comparison and hopefully another payday ...Lol there's A LOT of mugs out there and Bob's going to get them!.....PPV .....Hahahahaha .....Good ole Bob he can smell an idiot a mile away.

I can't stomach Amir Khan the lies and spin but here I really don't blame him.......Good luck glass jaw , I mean it.

[Curt Henning]

Yes! Should be excited! Spence fighting little Garcia, Thurman fighting Lopez, Porter fighting Ugas, Danny Garcia fighting nobody! Bud/Khan is the best fight on the list.

I'm not against this fight for Crawford...he doesn't have many good options

but heres the difference

porter has fought danny....porter has fought brook...porter has fought Thurman....Thurman has fought danny.....spence has fought brook and is about to fight mikey....

and theres more potential matchups to make with those guys later.....if spence beats mikey and Thurman continues to get healed and win....what if mikey pulls of a big upset? ....or even just looks good and goes the distance? theres juicy potential matchups to make for al haymons guys at WW

Crawford best fight will have been a near the end khan....and after that what?

[Curt Henning]

porter=danny, Thurman, brook
spence=brook and mikey
Thurman=danny, porter
danny=Thurman, porter

Crawford=khan.....with not much on the horizon

I don't mind the fight for Crawford...he needs a big name and doesn't have a lot of options

but for the love of god will the pbc haters just stfu and stop trying to compare als guys next fights to what Crawford is doing? als guys have been fighting each other(or another rated WW like brook) and will continue to.....whats it look like next for Crawford?
