winner of that fights winner of Spence-Garcia

[Shadoww702]

Bud's first PPV and it flopped horribly

Are they sure about Brook bringing the UK fans as well?

Khan was Bud's second PPV fight. The 1st was against Postol and I should know. I bought the fight and was bored as ***. It tanked and Arum actually lost money.

[Mister Wolf]

A washed up fighter can't expect elite pay (Thurman) if you're serious, accept an offer and pursue the championship belt TC holds... bigger paydays will come if you dare to be great!

He wont even see the kind of payday he asking for from FOX or Showtime. Dude doesn't fight Crawford and he fighting a Sebastian Formella level opponent like Porter for a undisclosed amount that they are embarrassed to reveal. Mike Coppinger can tweet out all this insider PBC information he heard but we wont hear **** about what Ugas(turned down Crawford), Porter, or D.Garcia(turned down Crawford) are making for their next fight.

Hey Bob...none of those Top PBC guys are going over to ESPN to fight Crawford for cheap so YES Thurman comes at a very high price especially coming off a fight with Pacquiao

So it is time for Crawford to shut up since his Boss and Promoter can't and won't Put Up for him to have a better opponent. Bud the one on the outside looking in so yes they all gonna ask for a lot of money because they don't need him.

Gotta make offers they can't refuse is the only way. To be fair, Arum already said they don't have the budget for Crawford.

Facts! They don't need him! FOX is doing battle with ESPN, and catching up quickly! Just look at the Jamal James numbers! PBC does not need Crawford, it's the other way around! You're not gonna get any top PBC WW to fight Bud for less than washed up Amir Khan got, nor should they!

ESPN isn't gonna jump in and sweeten the deal?

[champion4ever]

Knock it off Bob. You are copping out. The only reason why the fight is not being made is because you and Crawford don't want it to. This is a clear duck.

[factsarenice]

It's business, nothing more or less!

Great fight and a great risk.

Keith has one loss and still, Keith is the top earner at 147lb with the PBC. That said, Crawford is a big, big risk and Keith knows that a second loss could spell disaster. Of course beating a P4P would put Keith in 1st place for a 15 mill Manny squeal, true. Also true is that a second loss would be very, very difficult to dig out of without the aid of a promotional company and a brinks truck.

A one dimensional silly statement but hey, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Silly as it is.

Keith Thurman did the highest ratings of any boxing card in 2019 and was in the highest selling PPV of 2019. Saying you’re not interested in fighting him, when he’s coming to you asking for it(!!), is some of the most ass-backwards thinking I’ve ever heard. #CrawfordThurman pic.twitter.com/ThECz8mzla

lmao why bud team thinking backwards? or they don't want the fight?

Terence Crawford’s manager, BoMac, wants the Thurman side to be the one making the offer and putting up the money. Does this mean Crawford is willing to fight on a PBC platform or does this mean Crawford doesn’t want the fight? 🧐 pic.twitter.com/2LC0A8U0T5
