Boxing always been like this. We just get more access to it with social media. Plenty of fighters were frozen out in the 80's and 90's. This is nothing new.
Bud Crawford would 100% fight Errol Spence Jr in Omaha, Nebraska where he had control of the negotiations and could present his terms. Cuz that's all David Avanesyan is...a fighter who has no choice but to accept Bud's terms. Bud is in control. That's where he wants to be in all negotiations. This is why him and Bob Arum clashed. It's not that he's ducking. He's just fucking stupid.
Errol Spence Jr got more titles than Bud
Reserved a venue in Vegas as opposed to Omaha
And Spence got over 300k ppv buys against a no name like Ugas... Where Bud only cracked 135 against Porter his BIGGEST name to date.
It's just not realistic for Bud to take the lead in the negotiations against Spence. And Like Bob said, it's very difficult trying to work with the guy on shit like that.
Bud really rather fight in Omaha, Nebraska to be in control vs Vegas and not be.
Like niggaz really getting money in Nebraska
