Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Manager/Trainer: Spence Trying To Find A Way Out With Crawford

[sicko]

Not really he is the A Side you can't take that from him PBC and FOX did their job building his profile while ESPN and Top Rank treated Bud like a Step Child. Blame Bob him coming out and bashing Bud ruined any type of negotiating leverage. Bud contract supposedly runs out in October so we shall see

This fight needs this though it needs more people talking because it is not as big of a fight that some of us think it is not just yet

Open question to fans. If u were PBC would u make the fight right now knowing 1. Crawford does poor PPV? 2. Knowing that u would have to share profit with Arum? 3.Or would u let Crawfords contract expire and sign him to PBC so everyone can make more $$$ after next Oct 2021?

Spence doesnt need to go through Crawford to prove he's the best welterweight especially when Crawford has done absolutely nothing at welterweight himself. Unless beating jeff horn makes you a top 2 welterweight 🤣🤣🤣

They never got along with Crawford and his people that's why I don't expect Crawford to ever join them as long as he's an undefeated p4p fighter. If that deal was to be made it would've been made years ago and it's a shame it never got made, but if I were the PBC I would've tried my hardest to sign Crawford way back before he signed the extension with Bob Arum.

But as far as the current situation, I'd still try to make Spence fight him with a 60-40 split with the following clauses: the media is to be told that the split was 50-50 not to negatively affect Crawford's reputation and a rematch clause which is to be held after Crawford's contract with top rank is up so that the PBC solely promotes the fight and makes more money off of it. Waiting another year can backfire as any of them could take a loss and destroy the biggest fight of Both's careers, it's a risk I wouldn't take right now.

Bo mac and maurice hooker just did business with pbc this year. Hooker is on pbc now. Maybe he will see the error in his ways eventually

Really is that Crawford has no real bargaining power with anyone until October 21.

For sure he ain't getting Spence it Pacquiao next.

I hope so but I'm still pessimistic, I don't see a reason why they haven't managed to to come to a deal just yet with all the potential money on the table and I don't think anything has changed over the past couple of years. It could be the signing bonuses and false promises Bob Arum made Terence but after Bob said what he said, I think things will change now, not sure how though

Well, he "beat the man that beat the man" which (according to him) made him a HOF lock.

Anyway, Spence openly said he's open to the fight, he treats it like a legacy fight, it's a fight that matters, but Crawford just has to accept B-Side. Meanwhile Crawford is the one saying he doesn't need it.

SO if Crawford doesn't need it for legacy, what's it matter what you get paid for it?

If I were HAYMON, Who is a Harvard graduate, I wouldn't touch this fight until I could make real $$ on it. Oct 2021, if Crawford is real, he will sign with PBC so there can be no excuses and he'd get paid more. Also, By Spence fighting Pac and winning, it gets both Spence and Crawford the real money because now they have worldwide appeal from different countries.

55/45 for Bud.. he is clearly the higher rated fighter.. let Spence keep fighting these overrated scrubs and not knocking anyone out.

So what you're saying is you rate Jeff Horn over Shawn Porter, Mikey Garcia and Danny Swift.

Ok
