Is Terence Crawford ducking all threats?

Bud Crawford defeats CHAMPIONS, unlike so many of these dudes in boxing today
Everyone thinks Spence did the greatest thing in the world to go to the UK and win a belt, but Bud already did that when he took Ricky Burns' belt in Scotland.
Was awarded the ring #1 after he demolished Beltran, who was rated #2 by the ring at th time
Defeated the ICEMAN Viktor Postol to win the WBC and the ring Belt. Postol was rated #1 by the ring ahead of Bud at 140.
Became one of 4 UNDISPUTED champions this century when he took 2 belts from Indongo.
Absolutely put on a boxing clinic against Jeff Horn, who beat Pacquiao and gave Pacquiao a much tougher fight than Matthyse, Broner, or Thurman would do in his fights after.Comment

I'm very interested to see where this Porter thing goes. The $1mil or take it to purse bid thing by Arum doesn't make me hopeful it'll happeni dont think bud is really ducking anyone....but that whole shawn porter thing really showed what was going on...
bob arum kept saying they were eyeying shawn porter....leading up to that mean machine fight they kept saying how they were looking towards porter next...bout a week after that fight kenny said "call us we can make that"..alluding to having haymons blessing...not long after that at a fight bud was asked on cam about porter "thats not on my radar"...but why not? your promoter kept saying his name? you guys dont talk or discuss anything? lol yeah right
i dont think bud is ducking...i dont think hes afraid to fight porter....but people needs to realize this...bob isnt going to do business with al unless it benefits him....hes not going to do a fight unless its a big money big ppv fight...financially it just doesnt make sense otherwise.....and bob knows that if he were in haymons shoes hed be doing the same exact thing...which is "exhausting all in house options first".....its too tough for bob to bring porter over to espn....and otherise it has to be a ppv fight...and bud/porter prob isnt a ppv fight in reality...itd be a gamble or a stretch....one bob isnt willing to take.....bob is willing to sit back and wait for haymon/spence to be ready...he may talk like he wants the fight ASAP....but he knows whats going on and that he has to wait because its right out of his own playbook...dont let his talk/posturing fool you he knows exactly how this plays out
thats what it comes down to "exhaust all in house options first"....bob would do the same...thats what haymon is doing with spence....when spence is out of options the fight will get made...its getting closer to that time.....just a little patienceComment

oh its not going to happen...very doubtful...only way i see it happening is if spence stalls for another year(which i see happening) and theres so much pressure on bob to make a decent fight for bud he almost has no choice.....otherwise bud/porter isnt going to happen.....its not a ppv fight....and thats the only way bob can really afford to do business with the pbc is in a big ppv fight....or getting someone on the cheap(not going to happen with any of the big name pbc guys)...1 mil is a joke offer and completely unacceptable....but bob knows the deal....bob is alot of things but hes not dumb...hes not going to let on alot of things...sometimes you have to read through it all and draw your own conclusion
bob knows he has to wait for spence to exhaust all options....and hes happy to sit back and wait and have people believe the other side is "ducking"...he knows he cant afford any of the pbc guy to bring them over or to do his own ppv with them....Comment

Crawford's contract is up in October so if he really wants the fight he'll make the right decision.oh its not going to happen...very doubtful...only way i see it happening is if spence stalls for another year(which i see happening) and theres so much pressure on bob to make a decent fight for bud he almost has no choice.....otherwise bud/porter isnt going to happen.....its not a ppv fight....and thats the only way bob can really afford to do business with the pbc is in a big ppv fight....or getting someone on the cheap(not going to happen with any of the big name pbc guys)...1 mil is a joke offer and completely unacceptable....but bob knows the deal....bob is alot of things but hes not dumb...hes not going to let on alot of things...sometimes you have to read through it all and draw your own conclusion

Crawford is the type of guy to sign with DAZN instead of PBC.Comment

I don't think Crawford is ducking of fear anyyone BUT with Arum his hands a tied!
We just seen Abduqaxorov leave Top Rank and his reasoning was to "Fight The Best In His Division"
So if Bud doesn't do the Same come October, then it is time to move onComment
