TOP RANK WANTED TERENCE CRAWFORD-DANNY GARCIA PAY-PER-VIEW FIGHT IN MARCH 2019

“Danny was sitting there and we felt you know what? It’s a really terrific fight,” duBoef told The Ring. “We didn’t want to value the loss. (Garcia’s September loss to Porter) was an entertaining fight; close fight. Garcia has marketing value as it relates to Crawford.”

duBoef and Moretti say the offer was made directly to Angel rather than Al Haymon to ensure the fighter received information about the opportunity. Top Rank chairman and Haymon haven’t done business with each other in years, so they claim there was fear Haymon wouldn’t present such an offer to his fighter.

“I don’t know who to present to with these guys,” duBoef argued. “They say they’re the promoter, they’re not the promoters. They say they’re the agents, they’re not the agents.”

If Angel told Moretti they wanted to discuss the fight further, duBoef says, at that point Top Rank would have reached out to Haymon to try and hammer out the deal. “I just want to make sure these guys get the offer,” he said.

“They know who represents these guys. We’re a management company, we’ve always been a management company,” Tim Smith, vice president of communications for PBC, told The Ring. “Phone numbers haven’t changed.”

They talked that BS about they don't know who to call, but it is what it is! Then they also gave Amir Khan a better offer, even though Danny KO'd Khan, and Khan has never been a WW Champion! Then they want to know why they can't get fights for Bud!

Exactly dudes that defend top rank are puppets lol... They never wanted Garcia and when angel told them contact al they forgot how even though been contacting him for fury/wilder

He should either take his own advice and tell Bob he isn't fighting unless he gets the fights he wants, or he should wait til his contract is up and head across the street

If Crawford waits the contract out he might, maybe be older and slower enough that someone will fight him. Unfortunately it will never include Spence, Thurman or Garcia...they'll all continue to avoid him. The other side of the street was always a BS excuse.


In a nut shell...should Crawford beat Spence the entire PBC round robin of inferior WW's won't draw fly's. The PBC business model will collapse, PPV for Danny vs the once was doesn't sell, it's over and Al isn't going to take that risk. Even if it means Danny gets 1 million fighting nobody vs 6 million vs Crawford they'll make him take it and Danny will be only too happy to oblige.

You know it’s a thing called Co network promotion right? Not you have to fight on my network or no fight

Right... like it’s Pac vs Mayweather..

[factsarenice]

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.

It was 3 million and wasn’t a contract, angel is not a lawyer or his son financial advisor try a little harder and next time make sense, you’ll let your son fight for a million dollars not knowing wtf you agreeing to? Lmao

[hitmanjosh]

Crawford is great at fighting but not selecting whom to fight for;

I'm just saying! Bob isn't going to be loyal to you so why are you so loyal to him? This has got to be the year you vacate Bob I can't get you the right fights Arum. If and when you leave Bob you are going to be a super star, right now you are just an avoided champ with a belt.

I'm just saying

[Mister Wolf]

If you make a statement like this then you better be willing to sit down with Porter and get a fight made putting friendship aside for the moment.

[rckdees]

He has nobody but himself to blame he chose to re-sign with scum bag bob yeah Fury and Wilder got made because scumbag bob isn’t Fury main promoter he had options

[Bronx2245]

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.

I don't know where you got "6 million" from?

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.
