shout out to horn for actually taking the crawford challenge with no fear
pacquaio ducked crawford atleast 4 times:russ:

that boy went back to his "no black fighters unless tim bradley" diet real quick:mjlol:

the hornet willl give crawford his toughest but will ulitimately get knocked out in the middle rounds

unless hes going out on his shield :wow:

he's still the hornet, and hes still the one that sent pacquaio packing his bags for retirement:mjgrin:

Crawford is his mandatory, he doesn’t have many choices. Basically fight him or vacate.

Horn Promoter: Crawford Can't Sell, He's Not a Big Money Fight!


A fight with Terence Crawford would be worth much more to Jeff Horn if the unbeaten challenger wasn't the "world's worst interview," says Duco Events boss Dean Lonergan.

Horn is in talks to face Crawford, the mandatory challenger to his WBO welterweight championship, in late April, in Las Vegas.

It shapes as one of the biggest fights involving an Australian boxer in recent memory.

But the 29-year-old admits he is tempted by the lure of a reported $2 million payday if he takes on veteran Anthony Mundine instead.

Horn stands to make only half of that amount against Crawford
, a former undisputed champion in the light-welterweight division and one of the best boxers in the world.



Lonergan is set to drive a hard bargain in negotiations with Top Rank's Bob Arum over Horn's next bout but said it would be a much easier deal to close if Crawford was as good with his words as he is his fists.


"Fighting's only half the game. The other half is media," Lonergan told AAP.

"Without it you don't get paid.

"Terence Crawford is pound-for-pound the world's toughest fighter but he is the worst of all worlds, a really tough fight but not a big money fight.

"The reason is he's absolutely poor in the media, he's not a great communicator. As a result he doesn't have a great following, doesn't sell a lot of tickets, and doesn't do a lot of pay-per-views.

"I've watched his interviews, he needs a lot of help to get right, because Conor McGregor he ain't.

"So start talking it up, Terence. Say something interesting."

His bum ass promoter can tell his shyt all he wants but they have a mandatory challenger in Crawford it’s not up to debate whether they fight him or not :umad:or if it is the only other option is vacating.
