Here, Crawford makes it exactly clear what he thinks of the WBC\u2019s green belt and where their president, Mauricio Sulaiman, can stick it \u2014 all interwoven between a large number of expletives. Here\u2019s some of what Crawford had to say.<\/p>\n
\u201cI see Mauricio got a lot to say about me not paying him $300,000 plus another $100K-something for sanction fees, right, and then gonna tell me I ain\u2019t apologize,\u201d Crawford began. \u201cLike, who the f-ck you think I am?! Boy, you better slap your f-ckin\u2019 self, I ain\u2019t paying your ass sh-t. F-ck you talkin\u2019 about \u2018pay you $300,000.\u2019 What makes you so much f-ckin\u2019 better than any other sanctioning bodies?<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat makes you better than the WBO, the IBF, or the WBA? Everybody accepted what I was giving them. But you, the WBC, think you\u2019re better than everybody, don\u2019t you? So since you, the WBC, and you got the f-ckin\u2019 green belt \u2014 which don\u2019t mean f-ckin\u2019 sh-t \u2014 f-ckin\u2019 real belt is The Ring belt which is free, motherf-cker. What you talking about you want me to pay you more than the other sanctioning bodies because you feel like you better than them?<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can take the f-ckin\u2019 belt! It\u2019s a trophy anyway. The f-ck am I paying you every time I step foot in the f-ckin\u2019 ring?\u2026That don\u2019t even make sense. I\u2019m the motherf-cker that\u2019s putting my life on the line, not you\u2026You should be paying me, if you want to be truthful.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt irks my nerves how this dude gets on a plane, gets a hotel suite, him and his buddies they go out to dinners, 5-star meals, all that, and guess who got to pay for it? Us fighters! We paying for ya\u2019ll to come out here [to this year\u2019s WBC convention in Thailand], stay in the best hotels of ya\u2019ll life, and it\u2019s all done on our dime.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, listen, you should\u2019ve took the money [I offered] and you should\u2019ve been thankful and grateful that I was rockin\u2019 your belt around as your champion\u2026the undisputed champion, at that. But you wanted to make it about you.\u201d<\/p>\n
