Summary
Welcome back to part 2 of our conversation with Terence 'Bud' Crawford.
The conversation takes a deeper dive into Crawford’s philosophy on boxing, business, and legacy. He touches on the brutal realities of the fight game, comparing boxing to pit bulls fighting for entertainment. He critiques the current state of boxing, emphasizing how fighters today are less willing to take risks, fearing that one loss will tarnish their careers.
Crawford discusses the failed potential fight with Manny Pacquiao, a bout that he believes could’ve skyrocketed his career much sooner. He talks about the challenges of getting marquee fights, including dealing with promoters and the political side of boxing, especially when it comes to his fight with Errol Spence. Throughout it all, Crawford reflects on how his mentality has shifted from seeking fame and fortune to building generational wealth and securing a lasting legacy for his family.
He gives his candid take on today’s hottest fighters —including Ryan Garcia, Gervonta “Tank” Davis, and Devin Haney. When asked about crossover fights, Crawford doesn’t hold back on his opinion about the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul showdown. Crawford also reflects on his own potential to fight Jake Paul.
Terence also opens up about his run-ins with Trey Songz and Jeezy, and shows major respect for Claressa Shields.
This episode also touches on Crawford’s perspective on modern-day boxing and the changing landscape of the sport. He reveals his admiration for fighters like Roy Jones Jr. and Floyd Mayweather while stressing that his focus remains on creating his own path.
Terence opens up about his future in the ring and beyond. From his ambitions to move up in weight to potentially face Canelo, to his thoughts on the changing dynamics in boxing, Crawford’s commitment to being the best, both in and out of the ring, is clear. In a sport where many are content with just winning, Crawford has his eyes set on something bigger: leaving a lasting legacy and providing for future generations.
With a mix of raw honesty, inside knowledge of the fight game, and an unforgettable look at the mindset of a true champion, this episode is not one to miss!
