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

[Ray*]

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.

That’s the offer that Thurman wants apparently. Why doesn’t Al pay what Crawford wants? What Khan earned has nothing to do with what Thurman wants in this times. Even though Khan didn’t earn 7m.

Is Keith scheduled for a fight soon?

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?

Agreed, Khan didn’t earn 7m from the fight. He was paid 5m like you stated and when that fight was over, everyone knew it was a major mistake to pay him that. Arum is not going to make that mistake again, not with washed up boxers looking for a last payday with nothing on the table from them. Thurman should have fought Crawford when he had those belts, right now he is nothing and not motivated enough for any big fights, he is just here for the money and then to bounce out.

Finally, sensible quotes... truth coming out.. Thurman's a decorative has been, TC would severely punish him...

statements with:

would
could
should

are not taken seriously. especially in boxing. inside the ring is the only truth.

I just saw that he might be fighting on FOX on December 26th.

Just business really. I have no love nor hate for Arum.

I agree... Its just business

[tdubb]

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

Everybody needs a ride awakening once in a while lol

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

lol the big reason Khan still gets the big paydays is because he's a name fighter with minimal risk and the huge bonus of landing a highlight reel KO that they can play over and over again to help build up their star fighter. That's why Crawford's inability to secure the highlight reel KO had Arum facepalming after overpaying Khan.

Now they are looking for another damaged UK fighter in Brook for another big name, minimum risk for Crawford. smh
