The way he lays it out, you can understand both perspectives. Erroll Spence was supposed to be the third fight, but Bud messed it up. So they offered 35 mill to fight Benavidez (up to 55m) or Crawford for 35m for the third fight and Canelo passed on it.. At least Crawford vs Tim Tszyu sounds like it's going down.
That's crazy how PBC was willing to give him 3 fights with each opponent moving up in weight.
I think it's safe to assume that the Benavidez fight is not happening, ever.
