After Building $18 Million Empire, Terence Crawford Makes a Public Confession

Terence Crawford in a recent social media post made a candid revelation. The boxer has been on cloud nine this year. After years of anticipation, he finally fought and defeated Errol Spence Jr. His recent win only solidified his pound-for-pound king status. Moreover, a super-fight against Canelo Alvarez may also be in the works. Not to mention, with notable wins throughout his career, he has amassed a net worth of $18 million which is nothing to scoff at.

But has the fame and glory gotten to his head? In a recent turn of events, the undefeated and undisputed welterweight champion reflected on his life before and after money. What is it that he has to suggest? Find out all about it.

Has money changed Terence Crawford?

It is no secret that athletes’ personalities change with the advent of wealth in their lives. However, ‘Bud,’ has not succumbed to the vices that may come with extraordinary wealth. Moreover, he does not shy away from admitting it. In a recent Instagram story, he revealed that his persona before and after garnering abundant wealth has remained constant.

While posting a selfie of himself in a car, he captioned the post by stating, “Million dollars didn’t change me. I am still that same guy I was before.” In addition, the story also featured American Rapper Lil Boosie‘s song, ‘Rain.’

It would be safe to say that Crawford values his morals above and beyond wealth. However, at the same time, he also prioritizes money to a great extent in life, and in many ways is the reason behind his will to compete in the ring.

The motivation behind Crawford’s itch to keep on fighting

Before his fight against Spence Jr, the champion went to Mike Tyson‘s podcast, ‘Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson.’ During their conversation, Crawford revealed that the motivation for him to compete is money and not prestige. That is because he does not seek validation from fans regarding his boxing skills. Reflecting on the same, he stated, “I always wanted the money. You can keep the fame; you keep all that,” he adds, “You ain’t gotta tell me I am greatest ever. I know I am great in my heart. So you ain’t gotta tell me nothing, just give me the cheque.”
