Recently, there is a widely circulated news in the world boxing world, that is, the "enhanced version of Mayweather" Terrance Crawford is about to sign a contract with PBC's behind-the-scenes boss Al Haimont, signing a contract for 2 games, worth 30 million US dollars, about 190 million yuan.
In these two matches, he played the first two levels of world champion Danny Garcia, and then played the middleweight double Champion Errol Spence Jr.
Although this news has not been officially confirmed, it has been spread by many media. Of course, we can also understand as gossip, whether it is true or not, Whether Crawford will choose Haimont, I believe there will be an answer within April. Because Crawford is currently in the top three in the world boxing world, or even second. Second only to today's boxing superstar Carneiro Avarez. If there is a difference between Crawford and Crawford, I am afraid that the only heavyweight boxer, Usik, is the only one.
Haymond is the big guy behind the boxing world, with strong connections in his hands, Spence, Potter, who has not retired before, Danny Garcia, Ugas, Thurman and others are his boxers, so Crawford wants to win the big battle, can only cooperate with Haymon, otherwise it is difficult to get the ideal honorarium.
Crawford ko-signed Sean Porter last November and then parted ways with his old club, Arum. There has been no competition, no contract with any company, and currently belongs to the free people. But Crawford is not good at hype, does not have the popularity and box office appeal of Avarez, he wants to fly alone, it is difficult.
It was at this point that Danny Garcia stepped up for Crawford, saying, "I think Crawford needs an opponent like me, and I can help him make a lot of money." We've had a history of fighting. Like I said before, only Danny Garcia can make it to the box office in the sub-middleweight, and you can look at those numbers. When Keith Thurman and I played, there were 16,500 people at the Barclays Center. 5 million people watch it on home TV. But Thurman and Lopez played, and there was almost no one in the stands and no one cared about the game.
"My match with Potter, the Barclays Center had 14,000 spectators. The game between Potter and Ugas, where there was almost no one. So, all you have to do is look at the numbers. Without Danny Garcia, there would be no big games in the sub-middleweights. Numbers don't lie. ”
Garcia is 34 years old, 1.73 meters tall, with an arm span of 1.74 meters, and a professional record of 36 wins, 3 losses and 21 KO opponents. He and Crawford fought twice in their amateur years, winning and losing each other. Garcia was a world champion in two tiers, koing through Morales, Kahan and others at his peak, and also beating Juda, Matsi and others. It only went downhill to 147 pounds, losing to Thurman and Porter, and then to Spence.
If Crawford chooses Garcia, it's a good way out.
When Crawford defeats Garcia, he will fight a unification battle with Spence at the end of this year, which is wonderful. If this rumor is true, 30 million US dollars for two games, about 190 million yuan, is also quite OK. I wonder if Crawford will sign For Haimont? We'll see. 【Text/Fighting Jianghu】
