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

[Ray*]

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.

So what contract offer has Al sent? 50m?

Keith wants far more than 3 million guaranteed.

Where is this 3 million they keep mentioning coming from anyway?

I agree, people won't admit it but Keith built his brand 1st on HBO and then Showtime. Keith is probably the biggest active draw at 147 behind Manny.

Not to mention as far as AVAILABLE opponents, Thurman is the best AVAILABLE opponent where the fight can actually(or will actually) be made by a significant margin and it can make money. There is NO REASON why this fight shouldn't get made at this point.

You got a link to post verifying this claim that Thurman only wants $3 million guaranteed.

Apprently it's $3m bro... if Khan got $7m they can easily pay Thurman $3m for a fight that will inevitably sell a lot more PPVs than Crawford-Khan... if anything Thurman is giving them a discount.

It's a generous respectable offer taking into account the pandemic and him coming off a close loss.

Khan didn't get 7 he got 5 guaranteed and that was a mistake to give him that much, like Hearn paying Mikey Garcia 7 million to fight Jessie Vargas. Do you go through life or run a business where you continuously make the same mistakes over and over again?

Ummm it was obvious why it was foolish to pay Mikey and Khan that much bruh, and even then Thurman is asking for less than those two, why do y'all constantly keep making excuses for this man? 😂

Post a link bruh verifying that Thurman is only asking for 3 million guaranteed.

Typical small hat talk, "the money just isn't there" blah blah blah.

Are we really to believe that Keith Thurman who's clamoring for this fight has unreasonably priced himself the *** out ?

Give us all a ***ing break Bob.
