Terence Crawford Dilemma

[KTFOKING]

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.

I mean since Crawford is the "A-side" in this fight, why would Keith throw out an offer?

And nothing to offer? Cool.

Why not? He has the backing of the powerful Al Haymon, he wants another belt to strengthen his call for a Pacman rematch. Then you go out there and make offers, especially when you haven’t won a meaningful fight for years. Let Team Thurman put offers out.

Crawford is a great fighter but he needs to start fighting the BEST AVAILABLE competition. That may not be Thurman but it certainly isn’t Brook.

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.

They overpaid Khan iirc & the world wasn't in the current state it's in now. I read Keith got 8 for Pacquiao which is a fight he lost & his name isn't that hot right now + again the state the world is in. Also there is no live gate. So subtract all that I just mentioned from 8 mill. Plus whatever else would normally be included like merch etc. Is Keith worth the 5 he's asking for? He can tell you better than I can but I certainly wouldn't argue that he is, at this time. I can't fault Bob for not being 100% certain he wouldn't lose money & I can't fault Terence for not fighting for anything less than he's contractually obligated too.

Like I said.

Lomachenko gave of his own purse to make the Lopez fight.


Why does Crawford get a pass for not being willing to do the same for an ESTABLISHED opponent he so desperately needs?

You can't be serious. Do I have to really say the obvious?

Say the obvious "because it's Crawford". Hypocrisy.

I heard that Loma gave 250k and ESPN coughed up another 250k.
I agree Bud should follow suit. I dont think Bud really wants that smoke though
