Comments Thread For: Crawford: I'm The Best at 147 - I'll Fight All of Those PBC Guys

Arum sucks but you're asking people to believe that Angle said f*#k 6 mill, if they don't call Al I'm let my son fight for 1. Straight up, that's some checkout line National Enquirer BS.

A

You the one always bullshetting. How do you handle your L's?? Do you eat from depression, soak in the tub & whimper or go to the corner & cry???

[j.razor]

Angel acknowledged a 6 million offer and sat back in silence while his son fought 1/6th because of a phone call? That's what you are selling? SERIOUSLY?

Some times I wonder if you actually believe what you are saying or just say whatever is needed to facilitate some pro PBC narrative. No offense but your assertions are so such a stretch they border ridiculous.

Report: Top Rank offering Amir Khan $5 million for title fight vs. Terence Crawford

Top Rank Boxing, Crawford’s promoter, is negotiating with former junior welterweight champion Amir Khan (33-4, 20 KOs) for a March 23rd pay-per-view event at Madison Square Garden in New York. Khan confirmed talks were ongoing to the Daily Mail, while BoxingScene and ESPN both revealed that Top Rank has offered Khan a $5 million guarantee to challenge one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world...

Crawford is coming off a 12th round KO of Jose Benavidez Jr in the most-watched boxing or MMA match on American cable TV this year. “Bud” earned a career-high $3.625 million purse along the way. The former undisputed 140 lbs champion won the WBO welterweight title by stopping Jeff Horn this past April. There have been loud calls for him to fight Errol Spence Jr, but that’s easier said than done, and at a minimum we know Spence is fighting Mikey Garcia in March on his own PPV.

Of note is that it was previously reported by Ring Magazine that Top Rank had offered Danny Garcia (34-2, 20 KOs) $3 million for a Crawford fight, but that they never got a response back, and Garcia will face Adrien Granados in a FOX main event in April. Presumably Khan was offered more money based on his notoriety and as a means of luring him away from the Brook matchup.

Sometimes I wonder if you realize how ****** you look, when you speak without knowing the facts!

And it's F'd up that PBC is freezing out Crawford and keeping their guys away. This is how you destroy an industry. More likely scenario is they'll wait until Bud is old and then start calling him out.

[Ca$ual Fan]

He had better leverage, but was he the better opponent? Basically Arum over payed for a washed up fighter! Why not overpay for Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter, or Keith Thurman? Their excuse is that they "intended" to reach out to Al Haymon "later." I'm not buying it!

Maybe because there was no response from Garcia camp at all? And let’s not pretend that there was no imaginary fence between Garcia and Crawford. At least Khan was negotiable. We don’t know maybe Garcia might have gotten that 5m offer too if they at least attempted to negotiate back.

As for Thurman? He was on his way to a comeback trail with a tune-up.

Porter? If Crawford vs Khan was a major PPV flop, what would it be like if Crawford was matched with Porter in a PPV fight during that time? And imagine Porter getting 5m too.

And then there’s this imaginary fence with the 3. Khan had no imaginary fence at least

Let's get it right and not try to rewrite history. It Pacquiao and his team that refused to fight Crawford. Arum even made a special trip to the Philippines to try to convince them to fight Bud, but Pacquiao and his team still refused. It actually was a good financial move on their part they knew that Bud would have easily beaten Manny. Pac Man's ability to command big bucks for future fights would have dropped like a stone.

ERR! Mama’s wrong again!

PAC asked for $20M and Bud and Bob couldn’t come up with his price so Pac moved on.
It’s not Paca fault that Crawford can’t even pull 200K PPV buys on his own.

Then pac proceeded in OUTCLASSING Thurman, the same man Bud was supposed to fight but he ducked.

Razor thin split decision that pac was out landed (total punches and power punches) = OUTCLASSED?
That’s some man crush you got going on there.

The response was "call Al Haymon!" They decided NOT to do that! I like Bud, but he should have seen this coming! I can't imagine how it must feel to work for a man that publicly states he "killed" the Pacquiao fight for Crawford? That would have been a "life-changing" event! Maybe he thought the ESPN deal was going to make the PBC guys come running? All I know is his career is a huge disappointment!

(WOAH) TERENCE CRAWFORD AT ODDS WITH ESPN & BOB ARUM ! (ESPN) DONT WANT TO PROMOTE HIM, SPLIT COMING

The only ones who will accept the challenge will be Lipinets, and maybe Porter. That's it. Others will run for cover..

Khan was in negotiations with the Brook fight during that time and they had to offer Khan higher offer to entice him to accept the Crawford challenge. Even 5M was not even as big as what Khan would have possibly gotten for the Brook fight (according to reports).

Danny only averages like what? 1M? no ppv? That 4M plus ppv share is good enough. It was a career high payday for him. He had no leverage. And not even a word or a counter offer from them? It was really looking like Crawford was not in their best interest even with an offer that good. Taking on Granados for 1M only says one thing - it’s not about the reward they care, it’s the risk they’re worried more. They treat Crawford like a bad news

1. Who's "reports"??
2. Why do you guys always bring up the millions that was being discussed? It was 3 NOT 4. Seems like you dudes are REALLY trying
3. They not worried bout Bud, they just don't like to deal with the snake (bob).

[Mister Wolf]

Well Kenny Porter said yesterday he is accepting phone call offers unlike Angel Garcia so maybe we can get the Porter fight next.
