Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford vs. Kell Brook Negotiations Underway, Says Eddie Hearn

[Mister Wolf]

Terence nor Bomac knows what Keith wanted. Neither one saw the offer. They're going on what Top Rank told them. But their next question to Top Rank should have been "Well how much would it take to get the fight done?" Or "What did you guys counter offer?"

They know more than you. All you need to worry about.

PBC guys pretend Crawford doesn't exist?

Is that why Porter, Ugas, and Thurman have all called Crawford out?

Well for 1, Porter didn't call him Crawford out when he had the WBC belt, him and his Dad Kenny only started calling him out that after .

2, Ugas choose to fight for the WBA Regular belt rather than face Crawford.

3. Thurman wasn't calling him out when he had the WBA belt, he only started calling him out now after he's lost the belt, everyone remembers Thurman ducking Crawford and Spencer from years ago.

So yes if I was Crawford I would make Porter & Thurman wait just like they did plus Errol ain't fighting Thurman either.

You're kidding me right? Brook is a mismatch?

Brook only lost to two elite fighters., and in both losses he was competitive. Currently who else can Bud fight?

Spence & Garcia are tied up; Porter was already washed by Brook & Thurman wants too much money.

Who else at 147 can Bud fight that's better than Brook who isn't in the above I mentioned?

It's still a mismatch. Brook had both his eye sockets broken by Golovkin and then Spence. Do you not remember that? He is damaged goods at this point and I like Brook. Try to have a little objectivity. I'm a big fan of Bud but no one in their right mind thinks he's going to lose to a shop worn Kell Brook.

[theface07]

Wouldn't you be content?

Not if I was interesting in legacy and proving without a doubt who the best welterweight in the world is. You people make me laugh. Of course he wants to make money but if he is interested in proving he is the best, like most pro fighters, he needs to fight the best. Otherwise, his career will always have an asterix next to it.
Some people have integrity. Most people are just mindless ****** to the almight dollar. You can have both if you're willing to take risks since the bigger matchups will bring in more revenue.

[theface07]

That may be true but he's shot though. He has not been the same fighter since the Golovkin fight. This fight is a cherrypick and it makes Crawford looks bad as one of the top P4P fighters in the world for choosing it.

We don't always agree but you're 100% right here. Bud's prime is slipping away and he's still fighting damaged fighters like Brook. Arum is responsible. He needs to make serious strides to get Bud in with the PBC WWs. Otherwise, all criticism of Bud's opponents is justified.

[theface07]

Brook will fight literally anybody. The guys got balls that’s for sure. It’s a waste of a fight but still.

No doubt about that. And to think people used to say Brook was a ducker. He stepped up to middleweight to fight Golovkin in a fight he had no business being in but Eubank was too scared to sign the contract. Of course he wants Golovkin now after he has lost a step or two.

but hes not going to nor does he want to unless its a big ppv fight...thats the issue....hes basically told us that when he said "i dont wanna do spence/bud till its a ppv fight..a big fight"

hell do floyd/pac because it was huge...hell do wilder/fury 2 because it had a big buzz and was a ppv.....hed do bud/spence in another year or so if spence keeps winning and building his profile.....

but bud vs. danny/thurman/porter isnt big enough for him to pay them the market value and still make money....he had to shell out 5 mil for khan and put it on ppv and it flopped and he whined to holy hell about it

hed need at least that to get danny/thurman/porter but he wont be putting it on ppv....bob would only make fights with those guys if he got them on a discount(not happening) or he signed them to TR(not happening either)....

if you watch bob operate and listen to him you can see this....he might throw their names out there because its easy to manipulate certain segment of the public into believing the pbc guys dont want to fight bud....but TR is just as much to blame...bob doesnt want to split the fights when they arent ppv worthy and he doesnt have a piece of bud opponent in risky fights

hell fight brook and pay him a decent amount because he in no way thinks brook gives bud a problem at this point and brook at least brings the UK eyes.....he does not want thurman, porter or danny unless he can get them for like 2-3 mil....which isnt their market value for a fight with bud....the pbc guys can get 2-3 mil to fight a stiff

Lol.....most pros?
He needs to fight the best? Says who? you?
You care more about his legacy than himself? Hell no!
You care about yourself and your entertainment, you don't care about his legacy, you just want to be entertained, you don't care if he's paid his due. The truth is none of us do(myself included)
So pls, drop the legacy talk. We don't care, let's not pretend we do.

Actually, just for historical accuracy...Golovkin broke one, Spence broke the other.

[rickJen]

I wonder how much Crawford wants in this fight.
Probably $10 million. One of the greediest in this sport.
