Crawford will face a new challenge in the form of Shawn Porter on November 20. Former champion Porter has all the necessary tools at his disposal to land a title win. But Crawford isn’t going to roll out the carpet for him.
Having seen a tough childhood and a flawless career so far, ‘Bud’ seems prepared for every adversary. While we stand a few days away from Porter vs Crawford, the WBO champion’s mother sat with Top Rank and recalled Crawford’s tough days. She also recalled how Crawford had promised to become a millionaire as a child.
Debra Crawford said, “I was hard on him, I’m the mama and y’all gonna follow by my rules or y’all can get out.”
She continued, “But Bud was a good kid, he got a good heart. He worked hard. He would get up early in the morning. I would be like where are you going? He was young. He could bleed out there, he out there running, running in the snow just running. And he used to always say ‘Mom I’mma be a millionaire.’”
Per reports, 34-year-old Terence Crawford has a net worth of $8 million. He is signed under Bob Arum’s Top Rank Promotions and is a P4P great. Well, all of these things will be at stake when he enters the ring against Shawn Porter.
