“It’ll Take Something Crazy”: Terence Crawford’s Team Demands Unbelievable Purse for Return After Canelo Showdown

Bernie Davis, a coach of Terence Crawford, believes it could take $100 million to lure the newly crowned champion back into the ring.

Crawford scored the best victory of his career last time out as he was crowned undisputed super-middleweight champion with a stunning victory over Canelo Alvarez.

Prior to the bout, ‘Bud’ had declared it could be his last fight if he won, which he did so in spectacular fashion to make boxing history.

The 38-year-old is coming to the twilight years of his career, and is running out of challenges after securing world titles in a fifth weight class.

But he has hinted he could continue in the ring and fight in the 160lbs division in a bid to try and collect more belts.

But his coach Davis, doesn’t expect it to be easy to bring him back, particularly given the fights on offer.

“I think Crawford is done,” he said.

“If it ain’t $100 million to go down and fight those guys [Janibek Alimkhanuly, Erislandy Lara, and Carlos Adames] and let them guys do all the hard work.

“Let them collect the belts, and then we fight for undisputed. That’s it. Other than that, I don’t see Crawford fighting no more. There’s no need.

“Crawford don’t need to do no more. He’s done everything that there is to do.

“Unless they want to give him a 100 million, make a big spectacle, and put the belts on the line. That’s the only way I can see that.

“100 million no less. Not 75, not 90, 100. It’s got to be 100 million. If it’s not 100 million, then what is he doing it for?

“He ain’t going for nothing. Who can turn down 100 million? Who can turn down 80?”

Will Terence Crawford return to the ring?

Crawford has yet to fully sit and consider his next move following his record-breaking efforts.

‘Bud’ returned home to Omaha, Nebraska and received a hero’s welcome.

Now he is taking time away from the sport to rest and spend with his family.

But, Crawford had a surprise meeting with Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh who bankrolled the mega-fight.

And he teased that a return could well be imminent, albeit he has again yet to commit to any official talks.

“He’s too big for him” Crawford Comments on Gervonta Davis vs Jake Paul

World champion Terence Crawford has claimed that Jake Paul has an overwhelming physical advantage over Gervonta Davis, and that the fight should not happen under normal circumstances.

The fight between Jake Paul and Gervonta “Tank” Davis has generated a wave of reactions in the boxing world, and one of the most critical has been the undisputed champion Terence Crawford

In recent statements, Crawford claimed that Paul is “too big” for Davis, and that the fight represents a physical mismatch that calls into question the seriousness of the event.

A difference of seven divisions

Jake Paul, who competes as a cruiserweight, has a seven-division advantage over Davis, who fights at lightweight. In addition, Paul is 6-foot-1 and has a 7-inch height and 9-inch reach advantage.

Gervonta is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters, but this is not fair. Jake Paul is simply too big for him.

A fight that looks like a circus

The fight, scheduled as an exhibition for November 14 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, will be broadcast by Netflix. Although the rules have not yet been revealed, the event has been described by specialized media as “a mixture of circus and boxing”. Crawford echoed this criticism, pointing out that such shows distort the sport and turn it into entertainment with no competitive meaning.

Jake Paul responds with taunts

Paul was quick to respond to the criticism, posting on social media phrases such as “I’m going to deactivate the little boy” and comparing Davis to a decorative cake figure. He also shared edited images and 50 Cent music to mock his detractors.

My motto is: anyone, anytime, anywhere, against all odds. And I like my odds.

For Crawford, these types of fights affect the credibility of professional boxing.

It’s not just about skill, it’s about fair conditions. If Jake Paul wants to fight real boxers, let him do it at his weight.

Critics point out that Paul has avoided facing rivals in his category, opting for media fights that generate attention but do not contribute to the sport.

Gervonta Davis, for his part, has not responded directly to Crawford, but has maintained his stance that he can overcome Paul with technique and speed. However, boxers such as Shakur Stevenson have also expressed doubts about his ability to knock out someone with such a size difference.

Terence Crawford‘s words reflect a legitimate concern about the direction boxing is taking in the age of social media and media fights. While Jake Paul has shown an ability to generate attention and money, the physical mismatch against Gervonta Davis raises questions about the ethics and purpose of such encounters. On November 14, the world will see whether spectacle trumps sport.
