You really think the Bobfather doesn’t know how to negotiate ?
I think you might be wrong lol
That’s why he’s still one of the top promoters

Then Bob doesn't know how to negotiate.

When someone gives an offer and is a bit high, your supposed to provide a counter offer and whittle it down until you guys meet in the middle or closer to your range.

Instead, Scrooge McBob here turns it down outright.

Crawford is highly sus right now and startin to sound like quack quack quack

Thurman made 1.4 mil against Porter. He got 2 mil against Danny. And 10 mil against Manny. A 3 mil offer against a Crawford is quite generous. Negotiation is a process, not a single event.

Didn't Khan receive $5 million to fight Crawford?

Bob would say that Khan brings in the UK fans, so he deserved more!

Keith Thurman's rep wanted 3 million plus incentives.
That's real talk

They did bro. It was 3 million plus incentives. They wanted the fight in January though

Who wanted it in January? I don't think $3M is that outrageous!

Bud's first PPV and it flopped horribly

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

This is exactly right. The first offer he says is ridiculous and doesn't even counter it. Then Keith's team throws out another number and Bob may fire something back and so on and so forth. At the end of the negotiations he will benefit most. Half a century doing the same thing your bound to be good at it.

Oh wow TC won’t fight Thurman cause hell lose he knows it they were amateurs together. Same reason he won’t fight Porter

[STREET CLEANER]

Crawford is now hiding behind negotiations. God forbid he wants to have a statement win and takes some risks.

I have no idea! Brook definitely does not deserve more than Thurman! He hasn't fought @ 147 since Spence!
