    Again, where is Crawford? Does he want the fight? Porter would be his first top 5 in the division at WW. This is his best friend. Can he come out and admit his best friend is worth more than that lowball? He told Spence what he deserves but can't comment on Porter?
    Maybe negotiating is counterproductive? I remember where I heard that before.

    It’s a mandatory fight, take it to purse bid, get the WBO to respect your profile as a boxer and asked for more than 25% of the purse.

    Get Haymon to win the purse bid, Bud would have to drop the belt if he had to.

      Why would he come out and say anything? He isn’t fighting for another boxer’s corner. He is getting paid his own minimum. He loses his promoter money currently... So why would he put a number on his opponent? This is business, you cannot continue operating at a loss.

        So basically you're saying you don't want to see the fight because you'd rather something out of the ordinary happen then a standard negotiation

          That's his best friend. When they lied & said Thurman wanted $10 million he came out with a statement. He told Spence he only deserves 40%. Suddenly he's quiet about this one.

            Nah, am saying it takes two to tango in a mandatory fight. Both sides have a say, invest in your boxer. Especially if the other side doesn’t want to invest in theirs.

            If this was DAZN/Matchroom, they would try and get that Bud fight over to their side. Go UD with Bud and he isn’t walking away with that belt.

              This is business, zero friends in that aspect.

                    Not really, your lack of education isn’t for forums. You can do basic researches before coming across like an idiots on here.

                      they are both worthless imho. TC keeps fattening his record with bums. just fight the best regardless of the purse. if you are that good then money will follow.
