Crawford's Return on Hold as Camp Insists on $100 Million and Title Stakes

The undisputed super-middleweight champion has tied his next bout to an unprecedented purse that no promoter has agreed to fund.

Overview

  • Trainer Bernie Davis says Terence Crawford will not fight again unless he is offered about $100 million and the division’s belts are on the line.
  • Crawford’s camp outlines a drop to 160 pounds only if current middleweight titleholders first unify, positioning him to chase all the belts in one night.
  • Saudi official Turki Alalshikh has publicly denied immediate plans to stage a Crawford event, dampening expectations for a near-term return.
  • Omaha police briefly detained Crawford during a parade stop, verified a legally owned firearm, issued a reckless-driving citation, and opened an internal review.
  • Industry voices question whether a single card can generate the demanded purse, with David Benavidez mentioned as a speculative opponent if major Saudi funding materializes.
