Crawford claims that after the Pacquiao fight fell through that he was pushing for, he said he didn’t want Brook and called for Thurman, but Thurman asked for $10 million. I remember hearing about Thurman demanding that much a while ago so I have a feeling that it’s probably true.

Like I have said before, I don’t think that he is ducking anybody. He is just stuck with ESPN now and they don’t have the welters to give him good fights. I know that it’s partly on Bud for signing the contract, but I can’t really blame him for getting that guaranteed money. He is asking for fights. He just can’t get them.

Arum did recently say that he will fight either Pacquiao or Spence in 2021. I hope he can fight both.
