Crawford makes 3-5mil guarantees. Assume ESPN told Crawford we can only give you 2 million, Haymon is going to match that with Porter, Danny, or Thurman? Are these guys at PBC going to settle for splits around that radar? Danny Garcia refused 4mil from Top Rank for Bud.
The real problem and context is that during the pandemic you can’t even assume promoters can do business normally. That’s up to the execs of the network, and at the moment, the USA isn’t pushing boxing except for Top Rank and in closed settings, which highly effects purses.
I understand PBC kids are playing with GI Joes thinking everything is that easy...Comment

He has already been shortchanged being at top rank in the first place but the mantra there is think about Bob arum’s pockets first then worry about your families second.
Crawford has reached a status where he can atleast echo his thoughts out loud , whether it materialises the way he wants is another argumentComment

Damn he is paid that much? I thought he was on 2.5 maximum. Wow no wonder he is with top rank. He has never fought a live opponent and he is earning all that money. I’m not really up to speed with their finances. 2 years ago he was earning around 1.5 similar to lomachenko or maybe I wrong there too
It’s not Crawford’s fault. ESPN’s own problem or mode of business is their responsibility.
Now during this pandemic, I feel fighters need to be realistic. But to just assume fighters should hop around to other platforms and competitors assuming everything is fine over there is a very premature and unrealistic thoughtComment

A lot of these fighters gonna end up on the shelf, Crawford is overpaid so he leaves and goes to PBC where he gets the fights. This is good news for Spence who can get a warm up fight before crawford has a fight and then take the fight next year whilst Crawford will have ring rustComment
