Comments Thread For: Arum: Thurman's People Called About Crawford Fight, But Money Demands Are Crazy

[Combat Talk Radio]

Here's what I know. What we ALL know.

Lomachenko gave of his OWN PURSE to make a demand fight happen.

So...

You Crawford fans out there should be requiring the same thing of 'No Smoke', here.

[Bronx2245]

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.

Keep in mind that the same man also lost ODLH, Mayweather, Cotto, Mikey Garcia, and Pacquiao. They all left for a reason!

Good for Keith and his team. Maybe Bob could give them a counter offer? And unlike Lomachenko/Lopez, this is actually a fight you can put on PPV. Thurman has CONSISTENTLY done big ratings and is coming off doing around 500k buys vs Pacquiao in a terrific fight.

Hopefully this fight happens.

WOW! Thurman wasn't crying wolf after all! Terrence Crawford...Balls in your court big dog!

This is as good as it's going to get for Crawford. There's NO EXCUSE why this fight doesn't get made.

He couldn't have kept them anyways. All those guys had the juice to be their own promoters thus avoiding paying a promoter and a manager, which is the Al Haymon model.

Their names were so big, with the exception of Garcia, that this was inevitable.
And Garcia ended up sitting on the bench for a couple of years.

I am surprised Pac stayed so long actually.

Of course , this greedy old man won't pay fighters what they're worth...never have never will.
It's Soo greaaaat to have freedom of speech, say anything you want about whoever you want 😉

Not only that but they were complaining about how he handled them, especially Cotto and Mikey! Mikey was on the sidelines because he was in court fighting Arum, but he won his battle! Even Pac had to threaten to sue for his money before he left! I think he better get Crawford this Thurman fight, or he might start having more beef with Bud than he is already dealing with! Arum is very good with loyal fighters who have very little knowledge of business!
