Is this a good move from Crawford himself? Will Oscar Dela Hoya will able to work with PBC and Al Haymon to bring the biggest fight that we all have been waiting for?
Hopefully this will be the case, specially for Crawford who really wanted to get this fight. And Spence can't hide or duck anymore because that's one stumbling block in their first negotiations. Now there are someone more experience to talk in behalf of Crawford.
Well, it's indeed much better for Crawford to get his name under a promotional banner that has influence rather than pushing his luck while flying solo because his odds to get a championship fight is certainly low and only an influential promoter can grant him that kind of fight. Unless, if the boxer himself already have a strong ties within the industry and we know that Crawford doesn't have that one.
But if Crawford can choose, I think it's probably much better for him to sign under DAZN because I believe Hearn is more influential than the GBP these days.
Yeah, it's probably Hearn offers better money and incentive to boxers that's why most American are going under his banner although he is a non American. Or he could go like the route of Canelo, signing just 3 fights and then try to look at more options after that. If he wants to extend his contract then good, but if not then he can look for other promotional company. Or maybe Crawford is there because he is looking for someone as GBP stable to fight his next. Or who knows, Vergil Ortiz down the line, or Alexis Rocha becoming a contender in the future.
