    Question to those who criticise Terrence Crawford for not joining PBC

    Would you say charlo should jump ship and join DAZN to get the big fights. I mean Canelo, Jacobs, Andrade and possibly GGG will be over there there’s not much in the way of top level opposition over at pbc. If Crawford is criticised for not joining pbc for the big names should charlo be criticised also?

    The difference is, is that no one is claiming Charlo is the best middleweight and putting him #1 P4P.

    Crawfish has the machine behind him. He will continue to be fed the top rank diet while people claim everyone else is ducking him.

      Since Crawford is the A-side, opponents should come to him, not vice-versa.

          Against whom?

          You can make the argument that Crawford and Spence are equals, in which case they should do a joint broadcast.

              good post

              difference is crawford is seen as a top p4p fighter, the way to prove this is to fight the other great fighters around your division and he re-signed with top rank knowing that it would be more difficult to fight the likes of thurman and spence

                Yea Charlo should go to DAZN as should any 160pder.Funny though PBC got most of the best 154pders though.

                  His name is CRAWFORD not CRAWFISH. You are 63 years old. Try acting your age instead of acting like a nasty name calling 10 year old. What network he fights with has nothing to do with how good he is PFP. He earned that high ranking in the ring numerous times.

                    I haven't & wouldn't criticize Bud for not joining PBC, but I definitely think he shoulda played out his TR contract & tested his market value. I think he lost money not doing that cuz either TR has to pay more to retain his services or someone else does be it PBC or DAZN. And if PBC woulda made him the best offer than he'd obviously have much bigger fights.

                    Bud is one of the best fighters in the game he has tremendous leverage but promoters have boxers shook.

                    In general I think boxers are pretty ****** business-wise & too loyal to promoters doe. Even MMA guys are playing out their UFC contracts more now to test their market value & often finding more money in surprising places.
