Why?
Bud the main one asking for this fight thougha lot of people are gonna look stupid asking for this fight
Bud the main one asking for this fight though
The vast majority people which included a nice cross section of Bud stans, Bud haters, hardcores, and casuals were asking for a pick out of Ennis, Spence rematch, or Tzsyu/Fundora winner
Turki turned this thing from a Bud fantasy cash grab to now a potential reality
On the flip side of this if Bud can somehow win it would be crazy how he would have maneuvered his career and came out on top despite all the obstacles and attempting freezing out. Honestly win or lose he still kind of won in that regard.
fascinating career . overpaid at TR as a top earning boxer during that span despite not really having marquee opponents, stole $10m from BLK, $20m+ to whup Spence ass, probably making at least $10m against madrimov, and maybe $30m+ if Canelo happens
My point is there is no flip side.. Bud already won despite all the obstacles.. He already maneuvered his career into a high paying one, where he ended up a 2x undisputed 3 div champ possibly 3x undisputed 4 division champ if he stays at 154 without Canelo... Remember Crawford was initially saying Canelo was too big for him after repeatedly being asked about that fight by fans and media. They have put the battery in his back to push for the fight and now Turki is attempting to make it happen..Bud the main one asking for this fight though

I just feel like it would be a shame for him to have accomplished everything he has so far just to jump 3 divisions and possibly get a blemish on his record or even worst get hurt badly by another generational great in Canelo.. Its just an unnecessary fight and anyone demanding this fight is just another example of people not respecting weight divisions. And I personally feel like its just more of this sick obsession people have of wanting to see Canelo beat so badly to the point they are asking a welterweight to jump that high so Bud could somehow fulfil their sick fantasy.. I swear if Bud was to jump up there and beat Canelo a lot of these nikkas would literally cum all over themselves in ecstacy.. *Super pause No Diddy* I truly believe these people are not actually fans of Crawford as much as they hate Canelo.. Why else would you ask Bud to take such a stupid risk? And then you have the "bu bu but Floyd did it" crowd.. Completely ignoring the fact that Canelo was at 152 catchweight and Floyd didn't have to make anywhere near a sacrifice
OMFG The risk Floyd took is nowhere in the same galaxy as the risk people asking Bud to takeyall love trying to minimize the risk Floyd took in that fight. Not only was he the smaller man but he was also the older man too, by a large margin in both categories.
Turk sounding real .......on some "you either with us or against us" type shyt.
I could see the saudi's potentially creating their own belt system and bodying these sanctioning bodies altogether. It's clear they wanna run everything. If the sanctioning bodies keep getting in the way of their plans they're gonna muscle em out the paint. The fighters already love em. Wouldn't be hard if they keep throwing money around.
