    2 fight deal. First fight MMA second fight boxing. He should have did it. But fight boxing first. 200 million sets up his entire blood line. Again.

    You're probably right. 200 million each at least seems ridiculous. No ones putting up that kind of money. No way they're making money on that.

    I doubt they'd offer Crawford (who's not a big star) more than what the entire UFC roster makes per year.

    And even if there was any legitimacy to the offer, good for him to not ***** out his dignity.

    I am genuinely wondering if Crawford gets in the ring again.

    If he didn’t take that he’s probably not, and good for him. Say what you want but can’t deny what he’s achieved

    You don't want to start getting involved in those circles, Crawford isn't stupid.

    Crawford seems like he's still in training and keeping a competitive mindset. I think he's just semi retired right now and waiting for the right pay day to come along.

    And this Mcgregor nonsense is just noise.

    Crawford said he wasn't planning on returning no matter how much they offer them and he's keeping it that way. A man true to his words who isn't going to resort to selling his soul for money. Gotta respect a guy for maintaining his integrity and not accepting gimmick fights. Let the man enjoy his retirement without getting baited to go back.

    Crawford isn’t about to lose his credibility over money.

    Crawford did some wrestling in high school, which, if you didn't know, is very common in the U.S. That's pretty much it. Crawford's ability to do MMA has been greatly overstated.

    In my opinion, only heavyweights, cruiserweights, and even some light heavyweights with one-punch power have a realistic chance of crossing over and doing well in MMA, though it would require a good amount of work.
