Crawford is at the backend of his career and looking for big paydays that most ain't willing to pay. Its hard to go back down to get 6-9 mill for a fight when you just got 25 mill for spence thats why he want that Canelo fight. Reality is that he don't want 3-5 more fights....he want 1-2 big paydays and bounce.

He might want to fight Fundora, Tszyu, Vergil, Madrimov and what not.....but the money he asking ain't there for them fights and his secret investors are no where to be found. The Saudis might be the ones who have to come in and book his next fight.

Called it a week ago :blessed:

I want Boots to at least unify a title at 147 though. Bring some leverage and World Title experience on his way to 154

He still doesn't know what it feels like to defend a World Title belt

We are approaching June, if bud gets the WBA belt I see him doing a Stay Busy in Fall/Winter while Tim/Fundora happens and him fighting the winner assuming they don't shoe horn Errol in.

so from a Boots standpoint, if all works out PBC is like 98% doing Barrios vs Stanoius to unify in fall as by then I`m sure Bud would have vacated. IDK how the 147 WBO path looks if Eddie can overpay someone to get boots in the picture or Boots waits for early 2025 to unify with the Barrios/Stanonius winner (if this is the case then I can see him fighting a Bum this summer to get a highlight KO to build hype, then they do Boots vs Benn in Fall)/

Yeah the action is at 154. There are no good options at 147 right now for Boots other then Bud :yeshrug:

I feel we will look back at this era of being the most "empty" Undisputed ever lol, so id rather Boots just chalk 147 as 1 division he was a champ in, and just aim to multi division unify against the best talent. The nikka has 30 fights already but still talking that activity shyt, nah you need some legacy defining fights now, and sure get some stay busy in between.
