“It’s business. Top Rank has paid Crawford a lot of money. They’ve lost a lot of money and I would think they lost substantial money last weekend” Eddie Hearn told iFLTV when asked about Terence Crawford’s situation with promoters
“They [Top Rank] haven’t been able to deliver him the marquee fights. Don’t forget the Crawford – Porter fight was called by the WBO, not by Bob Arum”
“Someone came over to me today from the U.S media and said, ‘Are you going to sign Terence Crawford?’ – Why would I sign Terence Crawford? What fights do I have for Terence Crawford? He wants to fight Errol Spence. Even if they did, and they may, why would they go to us to make that fight?”
“It’s kind of like Canelo with Caleb Plant. He [Canelo] had to go out to PBC to make that fight. So if that’s their [PBC] mentality and attitude = ‘We don’t work with other guys, we’re only in-house people’”
“I don’t have any welterweight fights to offer him, really. I’ve got money, of course he wants money, but he also wants a legacy. I don’t think we’re the place for him and I don’t think we’ll make him an offer because he’s very expensive”
For me, I think it’s a no brainier – Crawford will sign with PBC aka Al Haymon in order to get the Errol Spence Jr fight because he’s desperate to get that fight signed… Crawford is all about legacy fights now and if he can become undisputed champion twice (Super-Lightweight & Welterweight), he’ll cement his name in boxing history
