Comments Thread For: Sebastian Fundora promoter ready for Terence Crawford purse bid

[TonyRespectful]

Can ANYTHING Sampson says be believed ? Biggest clout chasing bs merchant in the sport and he's got a lot of competition.

Unless, Crawford and Canelo has already agreed to fight one another; Bud just should take this stay busy fight. Instead of waiting around for a pot of fools gold to fight a Canelo.

This youtuber got something:

BREAKING NEWS: "WE WILL BLOCK CANELO FIGHT"
TERENCE CRAWFORD BEING ORDERED BY SEBASTIAN FUNDORA!?

They can't block anything. Crawford will just drop the belt and move on to the canelo fight and Fundora will get left is his dk in his hand.

Isn't it really that with Turki's wad involved that it'll be wasted effort entering into any negotiations

It's a calculated risk because Lewkowcz knows Turki is not going to bid on Fundora and Canelo at the same time. Lewkowcz also knows Crawford has a single mind to fight Canelo. Although highly unlikely.... IF Crawford does a 360 and agrees to fight Fundora, Lewkowcz will force Fundora to vacant the WBO belt, and fight Spence next year for the WBC belt.

Crawford is after Canelo and Lewkowcz is is single minded to fight Spence, everything else is nonsense, don't let it fool you.

Lewkowicz isn't known for his intellect but it's a brilliant PR move and why I suspect Al Haymon is behind it. Like him or not, Al Haymon is smart.

It's obvious that Crawford is only interested in Canelo and the PBC needs the WBC and WBO belts so they are calling out Crawford while stressing a purse bid for peanuts and pray Crawford remains locked into Canelo for 10 times more. If it plays out the way Lewkowicz hopes, the belts will stay with the PBC for Spence /Fundora (whenever that is) or a Tim Tyzu rematch for all 3 belts and freeze Crawford out until he's 40. Counting on Crawford's stubbornness is a brilliant move and the best move the PBC can make.

BUT...

There is a slight chance that Crawford's competitiveness overrides his grand plan and in that case, the PBC will be forced to vacate the WBO or risk loosing all the belts in a 2nd division, to the same guy. Easy to guess how that scenario plays out.

Easy money? Are you a betting man? Because if you are. You need to drop one of your paychecks on Crawford for the W. Double up.

you think Fundora would be favored? He was losing to Tszyu until the cut, and got startched the fight before that. I like Fundora. He showed an improved jab against Tszyu, but he still has holes in his game.

Turki Alalshikh already said he's no longer interested in the fight right after witnessing the Madrimov fight. Youtubers and media are driving the imaginary interest in the fight. And you know who else? Crawford. He's feeling a sense of urgency because he knows he had to do something about the looming WBO order of the Fundora fight, which he petitioned for in the first place.

Thanks for the link, I have to agree with Blueblood, I think he's dialed in.

I still don't know if Erroll "why can't I find a trainer" Spence will ever fight again. It seems like he's a PBC bargaining chip to spoil fights. We may be hearing his name for years as a potential opponent, but never see him in the ring.
