    It'll be very interesting to see who signs Terence Crawford. I think PBC and Golden Boy are gonna stay away.

    So Matchroom, Probellum, Lou DiBella...

    Probably lost money over Crawford's career.

    Crawford may end up being persona non-grata after this.

    You can't have the personality of a dead fish/mannequin hybrid and expect to be treated like some kind of super charismatic movie star. That's just not how things work in the real world. Clenelo is a star who has the personality of a mannequin but luckily for him he has that ready-made Mexican fanbase behind him and it doesn't matter which C level, hasbeen, leprechaun or shot senior citizen he cherrypicks he's going to do big numbers regardless and everyone knows he has no personality and charisma and no one ever watches his interviews.

    The problem with Terry is he wants his cake and to be able to eat it too. Remember when he threw a wobbly because people rightly had Loma ranked above him P4P even though Loma categorically deserved to be ranked above him? Terry had fought nothing but C levels and leprechauns for goodness sake but he wanted the credit for fighting A levels and giants. He does the same with Clenelo, piping up and taking shots at him every now and then even though Clen's resume is light years better than his and is still light years better even if you factor in the brace of unofficial losses to a way past prime senior citizen GGG and his other gifts he's received from the judges. I don't recall seeing either Loma or Clenelo ever taking shots at Terry or his resume, Loma definitely hasn't, or throwing a wobbly because people have him ranked above them.

    FTR, I don't think Terry is as dull and uninteresting as he comes across in interviews most of the time and I've always quite liked him personality-wise. Unlike cure for insomnia Clenelo, there is actually bit of a personality behind that taciturn lifeless mannequin exterior when he isn't so guarded but the problem is he just hasn't shown it very often in public and has been content to make zero effort to sell himself during interviews and is often reserved, taciturn and monotone and that's all on him. He's the second highest earner on OG Bob's roster for goodness sake and the #1 earner is a HW who has the biggest personality and is the greatest salesman and showman in the game and has charisma dripping out of every pore.

    I don't want to hear this stuff about Crawford having no personality. GGG doesn't have a personality either many fighters don't have personalities and get big fights. That's ridiculous. Also Crawford has a "fan-friendly style" so you can't call him a boring fighter.

    I mean if they pay him that much he must deserve it, boxing promoters will never overpay as they are some of the greediest people out there.

    He does have personality, he's just not very good with media and rightfully so... he finds the media interactions pointless and annoying as do most fights

    No he doesn't. Charming my ass, saying "Good boy" is charming? You have low standards. GGG is dull just like Crawford is.

    Spence made much more money for the fights with both Garcia’s and Porter unless you are just reporting the guarantees.

    Those figures for Spence are not even correct because he made 8 figure sums for both Garcia fights and and Porter.
