    As his manager I said, he can keep him as his trainer!

    What’s the point of paying him twice if he’s failing Bud right now?

    As his manager listening to this interview he’s gotta have some issues with what Bob’s saying or Bud needs to rethink keeping him as his manager!

    What manager in the world is gonna listen to this and think,”excellent, right on schedule. We’ll have Green Machine in Nebraska. Collazo in New York and Avyaneson in Nebraska.”

    Bob has lost the plot, snagging Porter for Bud would be the best thing to do!

    Porter’s stock has never been higher, he can sell a fight, and always brings entertainment in the ring and even outside of it!

    Bud isn’t a talker and Porter is, for Bob to say Porter won’t sell but Green Machine and whatever else they’ll dig up will is borderline insane!

      How is Top Rank only wanting Crawford fighting Spence a bad thing.

      It's one of, if not the best fight that can be made in boxing.

        He didn't say no definitely not to Porter.
        I'm sure they need to take a step back and talk amongst their group and work out what's best.
        If he can't fight Spence though I would be very disappointed if he didn't fight Porter.
        Maybe Bomac does need to go.

        Yer I agree with every point you made.
        It's upto Bud though.
        It seems as if he has this cosy close knit group around him which I think would make it hard for him to demote or fire anyone of his employees.
        He definitely needs to be the boss that he is and make changes if that's what Bomac has been saying.
        It's Buds legacy on the line so it's upto him to man up and do what he has to do to get the best fights.
        I also believe Porter would be 100% the best route if he can't get Spence.

          Crawford got an apparent guarantee of $3m a fight, with three fights expected per year, for at least the rest of whatever prime he has left (can't remember for sure, but I think he signed a 4-year deal).

          Crawford has shown who he is, Tim Bradley 2.0; a good fighter, but a fighter with no ambition to be great but only a focus on locking down the nest egg for his family.

          The only fools here are the folks who thought/believed that Crawford had some of that Floyd/Roy/Ward ambition in him.

            There’s no way you can think that he’ll stay on the top p4p lists fighting Green Machine and stay visible fighting in Nebraska for the next 2 years boxing stumblebums as Arum likes to put it!

            Spence has enough opponents from 147-154 where he’ll be good for the next 3 years and while moving up the p4p lists!

            No one can complain he’s ducking Bud cuz this is what Top Rank has been doing for years and still do in other divisions as far as in house fights!

            You get promoted less and paid less than a giant coke fiend who refused to take the rematch that ESPN is paying a Kings ransom for in the long run just to fight stumblebums as Bob likes to put it in empty venues for a Kings ransom!

            Someone send the interview to Crawford cuz this is the biggest piece of evidence to see who’s delusional!
            If he fights all the believed dates on the new deal, BoMac got Terence Crawford something like $40m over the 4 years as guaranteed money (pay trainer, manager, lawyer, taxes, camp expenses, etc, and you've likely put $15m into his bank account over the 4-year deal).

            BoMac did has job; Crawford just doesn't like the attention of folks realizing what BoMac did for him

              Crawford doesn't do interviews, Crawford doesn't do puff pieces, Crawford doesn't seem to do charity events etc.

              Whether that's Crawford's doing, or Top Rank/ESPN not doing their job, Crawford heads to the gym, heads home to his family, and shows up on his fight nights, and that's basically it, with seemingly no passion to change that.

              BoMac knows this, Top Rank came with the $3m a fight, and Crawford gets his payday without needing to do anything else new.

              Folks assuming that BoMac is freelancing need to step back, I'm anyway

                Because he's still calling for 50/50 when Crawford is done with PPV now after failing twice, while Errol Spence Jr is set for a run that should see him featured on 4 PPVs in a row. Mikey, Porter, Danny in January, Pacquiao by the late Spring, with Thurman and Ugas lurking, and Spence almost being PPV worthy versus TBA going forward.

                Spence handles his business and Crawford's share likely is fair at 30%-35%

                    Spence and his handlers don't think the same way...

                      So Fox says the fight won't happen for 2 years and it's Top Ranks fault lol..

                      Start blaming the people who won't make the fight.

                      No other fights matter for Spence or Crawford until they fight each other.
