‘It must be $ 100 million’ for Crawford

Terence Crawford coach Bernie Davis says that unless Bud is given “$ 100 million” For his next battle to go to 160 to collect all four belts at the same time, he will not fight again.

$ 100 million dreams, zero reality

He mentions that he does not think that Crawford will fight again unless he has offered $ 100 million to move off to become the undisputed champion at the middleweight.

Middleweight kings, do the dirty work

In addition to the demand for $ 100 million, the three belts will have to be collected by one champion at 160, so that Crawford can fight for all four at the same time. Davis says the current champions, Carlos Adames, Janibek Alimkhanuly, and Erislandy Lara, ‘can do all the hard work ” To round off all the titles for Crawford to fight for the whole bunch.

It sounds like a lazy man’s approach to become undisputed champion. If you look at how Crawford became undisputed on 168 and 147, it is in line with its style. He collected all four belts against the washed Canelo Alvarez at Super Middeeight. At Welterweight, Crawford won the WBO belt of paper champion Jeff Horn, and then imprisoned the last three, IBF, WBA and WBC, of ​​the car that destroyed Cash Wrecked Errol Spence.

“I think Crawford is done. If it’s not $ 100 million to fight against the guys (Janibek Alimkhanuly, Erislandy Lara and Carlos Adames) and their guys do all the hard work, “coach Bernie Davis said Millcity Boxing About Terence Crawford’s asking price and conditions for him to move to 160 to fight for the belts.

Bud’s retirement price label

That $ 100 million is an absurd amount of money for a fighter who has never been a big draw. While Crawford’s 12-round victory over Canelo Alvarez brought at Allegiant in Las Vegas on September 13 on September 13 on September 13, 70.482, it was possible due to the Mexican star.

Crawford still moves the needle?

In Terence’s previous fight against Israel Madrimov on May 3, 2024, at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, 3.935 tickets were allegedly given away as a comps for the opportunity not sold out. In other words, Crawford is not the kind of big draw that indicates that he deserves to pay $ 100 million or even a tenth of the number.

The reason Crawford got the Canelo match is that Turki Alalshikh wanted to see it, not because fans demanded the match. The American public wanted to see Canelo David Benavidez fighting. It was Turki who wanted Canelo against Crawford.

“Let them collect the belts, And then we are fighting for indisputed. That’s it. Unlike that, I don’t see Crawford fighting anymore. It’s not necessary, ‘says Bernie.’ Crawford doesn’t have to do anymore. He did everything there is to do. Unless they want to give him 100 million, make a big spectacle and place the belts on the line. This is the only way I can see it. “

A year – or two – of inactivity

If Crawford just sat down and waited for the three belts to be united at 160 before moving to the middleweight, he may have been out of the ring for more than a year, because it will take time to pick them up.

There is a possibility that WBA middleweight champion Erislandy Lara in December IBF and WBO champion Janibek Alimkhanuly are fighting, but it has not been confirmed yet. If we assume that fights are being fed, they will still need the WBC champion, Carlos Adames, to agree to fight whoever is the winner of the Janibek against Lara match.

The earliest that a game was likely to take place would be in April 2026. Crawford can therefore be inactive for a year if he is happy. If not, it can extend to 2027. By then he would approach 40.

Too old, too expensive, too late

It is not interesting to see that an old Crawford fight is around the undisputed fight after sitting outside the ring for more than a year. He was out of the ring for more than a year when he fought against Canelo last month, and it was not an exciting battle to look at. In fact, it was quite boring thanks to Crawford’s movement. He gained a Jerry-like performance and chose to move a lot.

‘100 million no less. Not 75, not 90, 100. It must be 100 million. If it’s not 100 million, what does he do for? says Davis.

The bile of Bernie Davis to state the condition that Crawford paid $ 100 million for him to come from his back to fight again. When it comes from Crawford, Turki must wash his hands of him and focus on looking for younger fighters, as his goal is to increase the popularity of boxing to bring it back to where it once was. At the end of their careers, older fighters are a pure waste at the end of their careers because they leave.
