Why is Top Rank having problems paying Bud Crawford?

[BamaSlamma]

Crawford can fight, but he is a bore! No "it" factor!

[Squ□redCircle34]

Bud has got to stop being stuck in the clouds and realize Bob has done an amazing job to get him to this point but the road has ended for him to level up in his career!

He’s an amazing fighter with skills to match the best in thee world but to allow your promoter to kill the big fight for you in Pacquiao due to being concerned for Manny and then refusing to give your 3rd biggest fight in Danny Garcia for you but gave you a washed Amir Khan then gives Tyson Fury who was obscurity due to doing drugs until he was knocked out by Wilder and saved by the ref Jack Reiss an gave him most of the company’s budget to fight your local maintenance man or club bouncers!

Bud has to stop thinking it’s gonna get better, PBC has all the power at 147!

Loma and Fury are main Top rank guys. Crawford is not a big name and brings nothing.

[OnePunch]

Top Rank announced the rest of their schedule yesterday and the one big name missing was Crawford.
Evidently it's a money issue. But why do they have to discuss money if Crawford already has a guaranteed amount per fight?

Terence Crawford told me earlier he had his initial meeting with Top Rank & ESPN today about his next fight. He expects to face mandatory challenger Egidijus Kavaliauskas on 12/14 at MSG, but said that they haven't talked money yet.

you are talking like a first year fan.

Contracts have "minimums". Nobody wants to fight for their minimum, so every fight has some level of negotiations.....

jeez.......

I don't see how that tweet implies they're having trouble paying him.

I want to see Bud vs Loma at 140! This fight used to be talked about.

Crawford will make his premium desire. I bet it’s more about how much his opponent gets and the overall card, which could also mean the entire budget can easily favor for Bud’s profit.

Take Haymon for example:

Leo Santa Cruz got $1mil vs Rivera whom took $20K...

At the end of the day it’s a Bud card, stay busy fight, and an opponent non risky

[Mister Wolf]

Because 3 mill is the minimum. How hard is that to understand.

BoMac said when they were negotiating Crawford's extension he asked for Crawford's ESPN + numbers and nobody knew them. Arum comes out saying Fury's ESPN + numbers are better than DAZN. Why did they withhold those numbers from BoMac?
