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

[JakeTheBoxer]

Bob still has old dude Collazo in reserve for Crawford. Collazo will take another loss for 100 hundred bucks.

Thurman wants to be paid like a PPV fighter that he never was while bringing nothing to the table. If Crawford cant get Pac next then he should fight Patrick Teixeira for his 154 belt.

Arum also continues to discuss a potential Crawford-Kell Brook bout with Brook’s handlers. Crawford-Brook could take place in a “bubble” environment, without fans, in the U.S. or the United Kingdom, according to Arum.

“Brook is a very good opponent,” Arum said. “Brook fought [Errol] Spence, and he gave him a good fight.”




So who's really lying here? Because Arum himself said he wants Brook for Crawford.

Or maybe...just maybe...BoMac did have that conversation with Arum and Arum didn't give a F.

Meaning Crawford isn't as A-Side as he thinks he is.

Which begs the question of why he re-signed with a promoter that doesn't give a damn about what he wants.

Logically: can only mean, BoMac and 'No Smoke' are lying in public and getting on their knees in private.

Thurman not understanding you can't sell your ******ity twice..

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

Thurman's camp

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?

From what I understand, from someone inside the Thurman circle, is that the Thurman negotiations are still progressing. You know Bob likes to put stuff in the media for a reaction. I've always thought thats how he plays ball.

[Mister Wolf]

Same Thurman. Now he is getting the same energy that he put out. Dude is a clown and supporting him makes you a clown too.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

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.

Always excuses for Bob. He couldn’t have kept them because he was shady.
