Hearn sounds money alarm

“It’s a fight for the ages,” Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn said. Combat Center TV It’s about Jaron “Boots” Ennis vs. Terence Crawford. “Crawford won’t fight ‘Boots’ unless there’s a lot of money at stake because he knows how good Ennis is. He won’t fight anymore unless there’s a lot of money.”:

I know nothing about Crawford-Boots being a “battle for the ages.” Hearns has gone some way into this kind of talk. It’s a good fight, and it will be interesting to see what the young Ennis can do against the 38-year-old Crawford, knocking him off his high horse.

The most interesting fight will be seeing how “Boots” performs against some super middleweights, like Christian Mbilli, Lester Martinez, and Osleys Iglesias.

These fighters take a lot more punches than Crawford, and stand up in the pocket for the fight. You won’t see them running around the ring like Crawford did against Canelo. Fans will get their money’s worth if one of them fights Ennis.

“His biggest challenge is Crawford. He’s earned the right to ask for tens of millions of dollars, and you can only give him that kind of money in superfights. Crawford knows how good Ennis is. Why are you fighting Ennis?” Hearn said.

Is Crawford protecting his legacy?

Crawford will now likely be protective with his matchmaking after becoming somewhat famous from his fight against Canelo Alvarez. What this means is that he will not engage in a risky fight against Ennis unless Turki Al-Sheikh pays him a sum of money. john d. Rockefeller– A fortune like his fight, perhaps in the range of $100 million.

Only fortune makes that happen

It will depend on how worried he is about Boots, and whether he’s worried about his precious legacy being lost. Also, he may have an idea in his head that he has taken his place as the “face of boxing.” If this win gave Crawford delusions of grandeur, he would expect to receive more than $100 million, and if it wasn’t given to him, he wouldn’t fight.

“Tell me what fight would pay Crawford the money he wants?” Hearn said.

In order for Crawford to agree to fight against “Boots” Ennis, he may want to increase his salary from $50 million smackers He fought the fading Canelo Alvarez on September 13. Ennis is a completely different animal to the flat-footed 35-year-old Canelo. He can do everything Crawford can do, but he has better offensive skills.

“Shoes” doesn’t rely on stopping rounds by moving or waiting to confront his opponents like Crawford does. He actually starts out being the aggressor, throwing punches, and attacking. That’s why he actually surpasses Crawford in popularity. It’s the same reason Errol Spence is more famous than Crawford. He had a fan-loving style that made him a crossover star in the United States, just like previous greats like Oscar De La Hoya.

The truth is, the only two fights that will pay Crawford a fortune are these two:

1. Canelo Alvarez (Rematch): It depends on whether Turki Alashikh is interested in financing a second fight. It’s not a good sign that he inquired whether David Benavidez can still make 168. This suggests his interest is in fighting Benavidez-Crawford, not Canelo.
2. Jaron “Shoes” Ennis: This is easily the best option for Crawford if his focus is on getting another huge payday before he retires to his mansion in Omaha, Nebraska. I would say Benavidez is Terrence’s biggest money fight, but he’s already said no to the fight against the “Mexican Monster.”

It looks bad that Crawford is refusing to fight because he was talking about his situation in Mount Rushmore Boxing. Eschewing Benavidez is a sign that Crawford is not cut from the same cloth as the greats of that mountain.

He’s not the risk-taker like Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, or Sugar Ray Leonard. You can add a whole host of others that Crawford falls short of in the courage department among the all-time greats.

When you think about how these greats are willing to risk their skins to fight the best, you hear Crawford refuse to fight Benavidez, showing that he’s not one of them.
