Coach Bernie ‘Tha Boxer’ Davis says Terence Crawford “turned down” a suggestion to fight Jake Paul. He says that they weren’t going to “pay him enough,” which was $100 million.
It’s the identical $100M that Bernie says Crawford wants for the rematch with Canelo Alvarez. He doesn’t say how much Jake Paul offered Crawford, but it surely wasn’t enough to get him to agree.
Paul is fighting Anthony Joshua on December nineteenth. He’s reportedly getting $80 million for the fight. If the same amount were offered to Crawford, it will show how much his price tag has increased since he earned $50 million for his win over undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo on September thirteenth, 2025.
Turki Alalshikh was the explanation for Terence getting that type of money. Without him, a fight between Crawford and Canelo would have brought them in far less money
“He told me he turned it down. I don’t think they wish to pay him enough,” said coach Bernie Davis to MillCity Boxing about Terence Crawford turning down a fight against Jake Paul.
“It’s $100 [million]. They definitely aren’t going to pay him a 100 to get his a** whooped because Crawford don’t know easy methods to play no role. He don’t know easy methods to run no script. He don’t know easy methods to do none of that. So, Jake Paul would get his a** whopped,” said Davis about Team Paul.
Is Crawford price $100 million? His history of PPV events has brought in disappointing numbers.
Crawford’s PPV history
- Israil Madrimov – 200,000 buys on DAZN and ESPN
- Errol Spence – 700,000 on Showtime
- David Avanesyan – 120,000 on BLK Prime
- Shawn Porter – 190,000 on ESPN
- Amir Khan – 200,000 on ESPN
- Viktor Postol – 60,000 on HBO
Crawford’s fight against Canelo brought in 41,400,000 views on Netflix, but you may argue that it was due to the Mexican star.
“So, in the event that they wish to give you the $100 million, okay. They didn’t want to come back. So, at the identical time, you bought a man like Bud Crawford. You’re attempting to rush him into it. Why? He’s not going to try this. Who do you think that you is? I just beat Canelo’s a**,” said Bernie.
Crawford goes to miss out on numerous nice paydays if he’s insisting on $100 million for him to fight, because he’s not a sufficiently big draw without Canelo. Jake Paul can be the one bringing within the fans, not Crawford.
“I’m breaded up. I’m doing my world tour at once. I’m not going to go down no clown act, no circus s***. I beat [fighters] for real. I’m not going to try this. I’m still chilling. Come correct. I’m not saying it was disrespect to Crawford. He’s an enormous name within the boxing game. He’s the face of boxing. I feel it was unrealistic for them through the time. For them to attempt to push it in at this short juncture. Nah,” said Davis.
