    Yes that's a good news. Please make the Crawford-brook or Crawford-collazo fight happen already. This is the fight that is good for everybody especially Crawford because it's much safer.

      Like with any negotiation it starts with an offer, one party may not agree but you WORK towards a middle ground. Was this just one phone call and that's it?

      I recall Loma and his team pressing Bob to make the Rigo fight when Bob wanted nothing to do with it but ultimately Bob (being he WORKS for Loma) got it done. What exactly did Bo Mac (is he Bud's only representation??) counter with And how can he not look at the landscape and think there's still a chance for a Pacquiao fight and or picking Brook over Thurman??

      Just like with everything, the truth will eventually reveal itself but on the surface it seems like Team Crawford / Top Rank already have "plans" that chances are NONE of us are going to like.
      I think I like arum/Crawford plan (Crawford-brook).

        If it's possible for Crawford to fight collazo then I would prefer for Crawford to fight him because it's more safer.

            Let’s have Crawford v Josesito Lopez. That works for Thurman... or Crawford v Taylor or Ramirez and put a super duper WBC/WBA vacant belt on the line, that works for Thurman

Keith Thurman has always had an unrealistically high opinion of himself and his worth to the Boxing world. Likelihood is he looking for a lottery payday to ride off into the sunset after getting leathered by Terrence Crawford. Because that's what would happen.
              If his starting point is 10 then he definitely doesn’t want the fight at all. No point negotiating with that. Let him go get Al to make Team Crawford an offer. We hear about how powerful he is. He didn’t even make half of that against Pac. They conveniently ignore that when you ask them how much he has made to be asking for 10, especially in this recession. If he gets given 2m I think he is lucky, he has no belt, would be coming with a L into the fight and he has done nothing in 3 years but beat Jo Lopez and these cult members want to talk about mean Machine who was a mandatory for Bud, they want to talk about Horn who beat Pacman.

                  Which is half of what Keith Thurman asked for, had to negotiate from a lower offer, not during a pandemic, and also while bringing in British PPV.

                    Hoping we get Crawford against Manny or Pacman for the fall. Either would be great and I expect Crawford to hurt either and possibly stop either

                      Of course this idiot revelated loves it...he's an idiot.

                      Crawford and Khan had live gate in NYC along with PPV upside and Khans UK fans. For a Fall fight there is no live gate and possibly no PPV. Also, who are Thurman's fans? Hes done 1 PPV as the B side and lost...so whats Thurman bringing to the table here??

                      "Love it". Dipshit
