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

[Bunch Pag]

How much money does Keith need and how much is willing to settle for; The last I checked it was about $3 million dollars which at least to me sounds very reasonable?

3m is numbers there or there abouts from what I've read although seen different reports and they were around that ball park... What's buds fee? I read about 5m but that was ages ago. I may be well off but from top of head I'm sure that was roughly the number...

I won't pretend to be up on the American numbers so I can't say if that's easily makeable if those are what we are talking about..,..

Haymon ruined Thurman's career. Thurman was ready for stardom and a super fight when he was KOing Quintana, Chaves, and Karass. But Haymon did not deliver Floyd. And so then Thurman began to decline and lost motivation and his results became less impressive.

Floyd and Haymon ruined Thurman just like they did Paul Williams, who would have eaten Floyd alive at 147.

Floyd would have knocked Floyd out cold in a real fight. But he was blocked out. It's a shame.

If Boxing was real and not all rigged, Haymon would have forced Floyd to fight Thurman and not all those hired paid off patsies like berto guerrero marquez ortiz maidana etc.

It is true. Often the hardest battles are those we wage against ourselves.
We are often our own toughest opponent.

The only thing popular about Keith is his mouth. When he had the title and had the opportunity to face Crawford in a unification, he wasn't interested. Now that Manny turned down his pandering for a rematch, he suddenly has Crawford's and Spence's names in his twisted mouth. Let him go get his bells rocked again by someone like Josesito Lopez for peanuts. Even Al wishes this clown would be gone.

You are a clown. Had Al let Floyd toy with Run Time back then, Keith's career and confidence really would have been shattered and we wouldn't even be talking about this clown right now. Someone of you guys make absolutely zero sense when you talk.

In what year do you think Thurman should have fought Floyd?

Huh? That had nothing to do with my post.

They can always make Bud an offer. It’s pretty much simple. Don’t wait for Arum to make you an offer of over 3m.

Thurman instructed Al to send a contract though... Arum is the one who said it's a ridiculous amount of money, even though if it's just $3m Thurman is asking for that is more than reasonable for a fight they can put on PPV.

Brian and Keith talked about that in the podcast interview. Keith said waiting for Spence/Danny is not an option for him. He could. But he's trying to improve his leverage. Keith said it's either a title fight or a title eliminator for him. He wants Spence first, but Crawford got under his skin.

Beyond talk, the only viable avenue for Keith to increase his leverage is to get a belt. Manny isn't willing to put his belt on the line right now and that may be why Keith is now talking about Crawford.

Rumor has it that Spence is not the same and Danny has a good chance of beating him. If that is the case, Manny, Keith, Crawford and Porter will all be bidding on the winner.

Keith wants far more than 3 million guaranteed.
