Terence Crawford Dilemma

[Combat Talk Radio]

As someone suggested, Crawford is black GGG. he will beat all the bums he can get under Top rank, when he gets old, like 35 -36, he will get a payday fighting one of PBC boys and lose on cards.

Bob still has old Collazo, Bes***** and others.

And Mike Alvarado, don't forget

Crawford is afraid to lose to Brook, Porter or Thurman before he gets his shot at unifying. That's what it looks like is happening to me.

As was always the case, yes. 'No Smoke' Crawford.

Bomac once upon did say circa 2017-2018, that the hardest champion to prepare against was Thurman. He didn't hesitate. Didn't even mention Spence. Thurman was the hardest to prepare against for Crawford.

Thurman got Bomac go on a nervous rant on FB right now tryna swerve the Thurman fight as much as possible. And the reason why Crawford gone quiet since Keith called him out.

I thought it was Bud who gunna call Thurman's bluff but it was the other way around

But...but BoMac told TheBoxingVoice that they want Thurman!






Smoke and mirrors.

This is why I hate boxing.

Who are the top WWs calling him out? I only saw Thurman. Brook really not a WW nomore, no matter how much he pretends.

& I thought pricing yourself out was a form of ducking? They said Thurman is asking for a lot. Which doesn't seem hard to believe. Thurman has been acting different since 2017. Didn't he admit he lost hunger recently after ppl had long suspected that? Why are people now taking him at face value? & let's add one more thing.. Although I personally thought he beat Pacquiao, ppl doggggggg Keith for losing to him. His stock has not raised since that fight & up until recently I haven't been hearing his name at all for damn near the whole pandemic...With that said I do not agree with Bomac dismissing Keith as an opponent because he's still a top name.

From a TR employee/burner account:

Terence isn’t a PPV fighter yet. Fight doesn’t make much money

— Henry Wade (@HenryWade20) August 18, 2020

5M is pricing himself out? Similar amount to what Khan got against Crawford and this PPV will do better numbers. If it does around 250-300k buys, it will more than cover the expenses of the main event assuming Crawford is also getting around 5M.

Let Team Thurman send Crawford an offer, maybe he is allowed to fight anywhere? Am sure if the offer is good enough then ESPN wouldn’t stop him from fighting else where.

Why would Thurman's side send an offer here? Will Bud be able to fight on another network?

Keith doesn’t bring much to the table. His stock has gone down. And the numbers he would be looking for would be enough for him to go on another 2 years hibernation. And to be honest, this fight would NOT sell on PPV... How many fights has Keith sold on PPV on his own? His only PPV that I can remember was against Pacman and we all know why that was on PPV.... And it isn’t because of Keef.

What’s restricting him from sending offers? Like I said am sure if the offer is good enough then Bud would be allowed to fight anywhere. But honestly Keef brings nothing right now. He is the same motivated boxers from 2017.

He knew what he was getting into when he signed with Top Rank.
They have a weak stable of WW names and Crawford isn’t a big draw to make co promoted fights with PBC or DAZN easy.
He made his bed now he has to lay in it.
