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

[factsarenice]

From BoMac's mouth direct:



Which means one thing: Arum laid down the law on Mr. P4P.

Arum is the guy paying Crawford 4 to 5 million per fight so yes, Arum directs the fights. Thurman demanded 10 million but I don't see Keith offering Crawford half that. Maybe it's because Keith thinks Terrance will take it.

So much for Brook not being a fighter they were not going to fight.

From the moment that they mentioned Brook he was always going to be the fighter that they were going to face next.

Hopefully Brook makes a mess of things.

Man, no one wants to see this bullshit ass fight! We want to see Crawford in with some live competition.

Even beaten down, over the hill, and "unable to make 147," Brook is still Crawford's most live opponent in recent memory.

I'm stood here with my least surprised face on..,

Tell 'em! It was Brook all along!
Lots of money for lots of money, I'd rather Thurman get paid!

You mean to tell me that all the parties involved can get to a reasonable middle ground with Thurman.
Spence vs Garcia followed by Bud vs Keith would be good promotion for the fighters involved and the division as a whole...

And why is Bud not making any noise, making a stink about this whole situation...

Yeah, I am afraid you are right! I was looking forward to Crawford vs a Manny Pacquiao showdown.

Crawford wasting the prime years he has left. On pace to be a what if? fighter.

Why would Keith use his name? Keith has the better ratings and the most viewership

One guy is P4P the best fighter on the planet, the other, after missing in action lost his first fight back.


At one time Keith was a bigger name but fighters have no shelf life and making an offer to the best fighter is the best way to grab headlines without actually fighting him.

Oscar did it, Canelo does it and Floyd told people who he didn't need to fight. Thurman is trying to do it all without actually fighting but Keith isn't Floyd, Oscar or Canelo .

Why would this fight be on DAZN when Crawford is an ESPN fighter? Best thing to do here is what they did for Lomachenko/Campbell. Put the fight on Sky PPV in the UK and then have it air on ESPN or ESPN+ stateside.

I don't understand why you're so obsessed with promoters, managers and networks.

Honestly, nobody truly gives a shyt about Hearn, Arum or Al Hayman, and do you know why? Because they prevent great fights from happening, period. They are not good guys, NONE OF THEM, they're the necessary evil, no more and far too often less.
