Comments Thread For: Crawford: Frustrating Not To Face PBC Fighters, Nothing I Can Do

[jackblack008]

**** Money I'm a Real Fan not a Fanboy,, As a paying fight fan I want a Unification between Bud and Spence. I DONT give a fck what numbers are on the Paycheck.

The stop being biased by putting the onus on Crawford to cross the pond to Haymon. based on money shouldn't it be vice versa?

You must be a casual because you should know all of the talent in the welterweight division is on the PBC side not Top Rank, that is why Crawford is fighting Khan & the eastern euro tomatoe cans

You have to be smarter

There is no earthly reason a competitive welterweight would sign with Arum that has half a brain. When it’s established that he takes up to 30% of your purse and he doesn’t have any of the major welterweights in his stable, Crawford that was a dumb business move. You are no doubt a great fighter but your business acumen is questionable. There are reasons why Mayweather & Pacquiao left Arum. Do yourself a favor and do the same thing!

Crawford doesn’t have to beef up 3 140 pounders Lmaoooo. Crawford started at 135 himself nice try tho. And by the way who is Charlo fighting Saturday? Oh thats right a beefed up. no power 154 pounder lmaooooo you just do it to yourself time and time again.

Charlo could be fighting korobov on Saturday instead of the beefed up 154 pounder but turned it down

Charlo is fighting a tickover who looks like he just might be able to fight, to set up a big fight for early 2020; potentially the shot at Canelo, or an interesting fight with the Korobov-EubankJr winner (the bigger event would likely be Eubank Jr, tbh).

After that, there's likely a mandatory due for the summer against someone, before setting up the next big fight after that.

Crawford has Kaviliauskas, and then what? Arum is already looking at taking Crawford out of the country for a fee

chsrlo is not fogging a Rickover (lmaooooo) to set up a big fight. He could have fought korobov now but turned him down. This is his 4th tick over (lmaooooo) in a row. That’s all Charlo wants to do and there’s zero interest in this fight. If I wanna go just to Groupon and even to the box office as prices have been slashed.

Crawford has ramirez Prograis and Taylor moving up next year.
he has more options than Charlo.

When you have 13 mil to the main event 2 mil to co feature plus rest of card and other expenses it’s easy to see the card was in the red.

$4m at the live gate, at least $12m from the US TV, with many other streams to add up. Maybe it was in the red, maybe it wasn't

[Scipio2009]

Spence would only get a % of the PPV pie. and this was a marquee fight which generated this money. so it may add up to may be 7 million $

But, Spence wont earn this much fighting Cralos Ocampoes and Lamont Petersons of the world, while Crawford keeps making around 5 million dollar each fight

Crawford's guarantee is allegedly $3m, remember?

[Cobracmndr6193]

Why did Crawford sign with Top Rank? Why do we give him a pass on this decision?

[giant_king]

AND it IS coming around now. bob has been doing it for YEARS & now its getting done to him

lol that's true

BUMP - to remind NSB what this dude said 3 years ago:

“I’m not going to knock them or be a hater, but I know where I stand and I know the game they’re playing and there’s nothing I can do about it.

“That’s not something I can decide. It takes two people to fight, and it takes two companies to sit down and figure it out and decide what network we’re going to fight on, where we’re going to fight, what the purses are going to be. It’s not as easy as people think it is, but it could be easy if we finally sat down at the same table and made it happen.”

What changed?
