The pound for pound legend recently made an appearance on The Pivot podcast. During the interview, Bud Crawford went into depth about his retirement<\/a> and also closed the case on a comeback. Pivot host Channing Crowder asked the Omaha, NE boxer if a \u201cnumber\u201d would get him back in the ring.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy thought is everything has a price,\u201d started Crowder. There is not a number that can get you back in that ring. $80 million? $100 million?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo because now you selling your soul,\u201d Crawford responded.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor $100 million you can have my soul,\u201d said Crowder laughing.<\/p>\n

Bud consisted with a look of disdain on his face as he continued his response. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat you. Now we know your character. Sometimes you know you look at people and be like damn man, you can got no dignity. You ain\u2019t got no morals. C\u2019mon man. What you gonna stand for if everything is about money.<\/p>\n

Terence Crawford goes on to explain<\/a> his main purpose when he set his sights on becoming a boxer.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike I was never in the sport because of money. Of course I was in the sport to make money, but I wanted to be a world champion,\u201d he stated. \u201cI wanted to do something that I set my sights out to do as a little boy and money wasn\u2019t the motivation. Me being a world champion was the motivation. Me accomplishing all the things that I\u2019ve accomplished along the way on my journey\u2026.it was like the extra credit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crawford surprisingly announced his retirement from boxing back in December 2025. The 38 year-old champion defeated Canelo Alvarez last September to make him 42-0. When asked his reason back in December, he cited his health.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been doing this sport since I was seven years old,\u201d Crawford told Ring Magazine. I retired at 38. Ask yourself: if you\u2019ve been taking your body through hell for 30 years, would you retire? That\u2019s why I retired. There is nothing else left for me to accomplish in the sport of boxing. I gave my all to boxing, but I\u2019m not going to give my health to boxing.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Terence Crawford set the record straight about retiring from boxing.
