The mythical matchup: Floyd Mayweather vs. Terence Crawford Decoded
Earning a whopping $21 million in gate revenue is no small feat. Moreover, it’s a testament to a fight’s grandeur, drawing in masses and proving its worth in the competitive world of boxing. Terence Crawford, fresh from such a monumental achievement, is on top of the world. Yet every peak has its echoes.
Tim Bradley, a known voice in the boxing community, couldn’t help but vocalize a bold statement. He confidently declared, “Terence Crawford would beat a prime Mayweather.” Not stopping there, Bradley added, “I’ve held this belief for five years. Crawford would win a close decision against Floyd.” Such comparisons, while celebrating a contemporary star, invariably invite responses.
And respond they did. Leonard Ellerbe, the CEO of Mayweather Promotions, quickly jumped into the ring of discussion. With a mix of humor and straightforwardness, he tweeted, “Lol stop it. Let that man enjoy his big win. He deserves all the kudos he’s getting now.” Further emphasizing his perspective, he remarked, “Not surprised at all coming from him. I’m not a fan of mythical matchups at all but he’s trippin’.”
