Great interview and nice job pressing (and re-pressing : ) him on the Bud fight, Dan! Now you gotta get Bud to agree, slide a contract over and get their signatures... YOU can do it, Dan!
btw- as a pragmatist-leans-pessimist boxing fan, I do feel good about this happening finally, but if I'm to guess why it might not, it's gonna come down to Crawford asking for too much. While he's as good a fighter, he doesn't deserve more than 40% split, in my mind, and there's too much data to support this. We can only hope Bud is also a pragmatist for once!
