FTR, I think Bud is a tremendously talented fighter and I actually consider him the #2 P4P fighter in the sport today.
However, I find it slightly contradictory when he’s throwing shade at PBC guys for not wanting to fight him, when:
-He was the guy who chose to resign with Arum in 2018, knowing full well that options would be limited.
-He was the guy who wanted to Pacquiao to come to 140 when that fight was discussed.
-He’s the guy likely fighting Kavaliauskas when Spence/Porter and Pacquiao/Thurman are fighting each other.
I think Crawford needs to understand that he needs the PBC fighters at 147 more than the PBC fighters need him, for instance if Spence doesn’t fight Crawford he could easily be matched with Porter, Pacquiao, Thurman, DSG etc, what alternative options are there for Crawford?
