Coach Bernie \u2018Tha Boxer\u2019 Davis says Terence Crawford \u201cturned down\u201d an offer to fight Jake Paul. He says that they weren\u2019t going to \u201cpay him enough,\u201d which was $100 million.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the same $100M that Bernie says Crawford wants for the rematch with Canelo Alvarez. He doesn\u2019t say how much Jake Paul offered Crawford, but it wasn\u2019t enough to get him to agree.<\/p>\n

Paul is fighting Anthony Joshua on December 19th. He\u2019s reportedly getting $80 million for the fight. If a similar amount were offered to Crawford, it would show how much his price tag has increased since he earned $50 million for his win over undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo on September 13th, 2025.<\/p>\n

Turki Alalshikh was the reason for Terence getting that kind of money. Without him, a fight between Crawford and Canelo would have brought them in far less money<\/p>\n

\u201cHe told me he turned it down. I don\u2019t think they want to pay him enough,\u201d said coach Bernie Davis to MillCity Boxing<\/a> about Terence Crawford turning down a fight against Jake Paul.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s $100 [million]. They definitely aren\u2019t going to pay him a 100 to get his a** whooped because Crawford don\u2019t know how to play no role. He don\u2019t know how to run no script. He don\u2019t know how to do none of that. So, Jake Paul would get his a** whopped,\u201d said Davis about Team Paul.<\/p>\n

Is Crawford worth $100 million? His history of PPV events has brought in disappointing numbers.<\/p>\n

Crawford\u2019s PPV history<\/p>\n

Israil Madrimov\u00a0 \u2013 200,000 buys on DAZN and ESPN
\nErrol Spence \u2013 700,000 on Showtime
\nDavid Avanesyan \u2013 120,000 on BLK Prime
\nShawn Porter \u2013 190,000 on ESPN
\nAmir Khan \u2013 200,000 on ESPN
\nViktor Postol \u2013 60,000 on HBO<\/p>\n

Crawford\u2019s fight against Canelo brought in 41,400,000 views on Netflix, but you can argue that it was because of the Mexican star.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, if they want to come up with the $100 million, okay. They didn\u2019t want to come. So, at the same time, you got a guy like Bud Crawford. You\u2019re trying to rush him into it. Why? He\u2019s not going to do that. Who do you think you is? I just beat Canelo\u2019s a**,\u201d said Bernie.<\/p>\n

Crawford is going to miss out on a lot of nice paydays if he\u2019s insisting on $100 million for him to fight, because he\u2019s not a big enough draw without Canelo. Jake Paul would be the one bringing in the fans, not Crawford.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m breaded up. I\u2019m doing my world tour right now. I\u2019m not going to go down no clown act, no circus s***. I beat [fighters] for real. I\u2019m not going to do that. I\u2019m still chilling. Come correct. I\u2019m not saying it was disrespect to Crawford. He\u2019s a huge name in the boxing game. He\u2019s the face of boxing. I think it was unrealistic for them during the time. For them to try and push it in at this short juncture. Nah,\u201d said Davis.<\/p>\n
