Terence Crawford boasted on social media today, saying he’s going to “make history” and can bring a crowd. 90,000 at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska. Since the arena is seats ONLY 85,458it seems that Crawford is making nonsense out of thin air. I just wonder why he didn’t say 200,000.
Crawford says he’s going to make history, but the way things look, he might not fight again. Promoter Eddie Hearn and trainer Robert Garcia believe Crawford, 37, may retire if he doesn’t get the Canelo Alvarez fight.
Is Crawford Losing His Touch?
This world claim by Crawford of the 90,000 fans who packed the Memorial Stadium is troubling because they have no chance of happening in this life.
No one famous in the sport would be willing to go out there to fight Crawford in his home off the beaten track in a place like Lincoln, Nebraska. In the US areas, a strong star can go, choosing Nebraska would be the last on the list.
If you think Crawford is serious, he didn’t bother to say who he would fight to bring that crowd. It will definitely not be Canelo Alvarez because he is not interested in fighting him unless he pays $150 million.
Memorial Field Soldiers Needed
- Canelo Alvarez
- Jake Paul
- Jaron Ennis
- Artur Beterbiev
The only players famous enough to help Crawford sell out a big place like Memorial Stadium would be Canelo or maybe Jake Paul. Crawford isn’t going to make Jake throw him a bone by fighting him, especially not in Lincoln.
It’s not like Crawford is going to film with Jake if the YouTuber is interested, and he isn’t. Why on earth would Jake Paul want to waste a good fight coming to Lincoln to face a guy who has only heard of hard boxing?
If Crawford wanted to get fans interested in his career, he would be busy, fighting three times a year and moving up to 168 to take on the big dogs. Since he won’t do that, all this history-making nonsense is a sign that Crawford lives in his own fantasy world.
I think I can do 90,000 in the memorial arena. I think ima go on and make history just to make some of y’all mad because yall be hating.😂 what’s up @UNLincoln @Huskers
