Terence Crawford is one of the biggest boxing names in the world currently. This certainly indicates that he will go home with a big paycheck on the fight day. Recently, he appeared on ‘The Last Stand’ podcast, where he spilled some beans about his $10 million payday for the David Avanesyan bout.

Crawford said, “It’s a one-fight deal. Me personally, I don’t know what (Adrien) Broner’s deal and structure is like, but I already got half of my money already. I’m going to get my other half before I even step in the ring a week before.”

However, it has not been revealed how much Avanesyan will be earning for this fight. However, it is certain that it will not even come close to what ‘Bud’ is receiving.

The American boxing champ will be facing the Russian boxer on December 10th, at the CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska. It is expected to be a tough fight for Crawford, owing to Avanesyan’s spectacular resume. The latter has a stellar 29–3-1 record. 

Besides that, BLK Prime will stream the PPV match. Following his fight with Shawn Porter the previous year, Crawford split with Bob Arum and Top Rank. ‘Bud’ alleged Arum and the promotions company for not obtaining big fights, including a match with Errol Spence Jr., and sought nearly $10 million in damages.

The southpaw was in conversation with ESPN, where he revealed, “David Avanesyan is a very tough task. He’s knocked out his last six opponents and this guy is dangerous. Once I’m successful against Avanesyan, my plan is still the same: Whoop Errol Spence’s ass.”
