  • Terence Crawford: Ready to Announce Himself at Upcoming Debutant Brawl
    TERENCE CRAWFORD: READY TO ANNOUNCE HIMSELF AT UPCOMING DEBUTANT BRAWL By: Bill Dwyre* Terence Crawford is in line to become boxing’s next celebrated debutant. All the things are in order for his coming-out party July 23rd in Las Vegas. It could be a ball. He won’t be wearing a long gown. No corsage on his wrist. Just shorts and shoes and the tools of his trade, the boxing gloves with which he hopes to leave impressions on the face of Viktor Postol, and in the minds of a crowd of around 9,000 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. If boxing could produce a list of who is next, Crawford would certainly be high on it. The likes of Gennady Golovkin (Triple G), Canelo Alvarez and Andre Ward have all had their big moments and made their big impressions. No debutants there. They have been to big dances and now are maneuvering for the top of the heap in the sport. Nothing new about them. They have arrived and become gold-plated. Floyd Mayweather Jr., says he’s retired, and, surprisingly, he has remained that way. For now. Manny Pacquiao said he was retired after the April victory over Tim Bradley. Few bought that, even with his impending Senator duties in the Philippines. The skeptics were right, as they usually are in boxing. Pacquiao announced this week that he will fight again, in either late October or mid- November. Suddenly, Terence Crawford’s debutante ball in Las Vegas is high on the list of sports’ big dances.

  • Boxing: Rising Stars Expected to Shine Bright in NYC
    Boxing: Rising Stars Expected to Shine Bright in NYC Author : Robert D. Cobb This Saturday, HBO Boxing will be live from the city that doesn’t sleep, New York City, as Top Rank Promotions will be presenting a doubleheader of two rising stars in the sport of boxing. Omaha’s finest, Terence Crawford, steps into the ring and defends his WBO junior welterweight title on the line against Philadelphia’s own, Hank Lundy, and also in what will be the fight that gets the crowd most hyped, the face of the future of Puerto Rican boxing, Felix Verdejo, will be facing off against William Silva. Terence Crawford (27-0 with 19 KOs) is a highly skilled boxer that is one of the new rising stars of the sport. He has dominated every one of his opponents, he has put on good live shows in his hometown of Omaha, and most importantly, he seems to want to be “The guy”. Crawford has taken a step back this year from the run he was on in 2014 when he faced, and beat, Ricky Burns, Yuriorkis Gamboa, and Raymundo Beltran, and was mentioned in everyone’s list as a fighter of the year candidate. However, since then, He has faced 2 opponents in Thomas Dulorme and Dierry Jean that really got no buzz and has someone halted the rise he was having. Given the fact that the 140 lb division may not be as full with names as the 147 lb welterweight division, Crawford may be forced to dispense with the guys in front of him as fast as possible and move up by the start of 2017.

More importantly, the Hall is the institution of record for rewarding meritorious service in the sweet science – the honor-bestower to which inductees keep returning in Canastota, New York every June. It ain’t perfect, but it’s still the place to be. Because fighters’ careers are fluid, shifts can be sudden and settled law is open to smudging at a later date, there are few foregone conclusions among active IBHOF candidates-in-waiting. The list: Manny Pacquiao, Roman Gonzalez, Nonito Donaire, Terence Crawford, Vasiliy Lomachenko and Canelo Alvarez. That’s it. But what of the rest? Which other current fighters have a shot? And what about those in for a rude awakening, boxing’s faux royalty?

  • United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ______
    United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 19-1890 ___________________________ Middendorf Sports, a Maryland Sole Proprietorship lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellee v. Top Rank, Inc., a Nevada corporation lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant Terence Crawford, an Individual lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha ____________ Submitted: November 13, 2019 Filed: April 3, 2020 ____________ Before GRUENDER, KELLY, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges. ____________ KELLY, Circuit Judge. Terence “Bud” Crawford is a successful boxer who has won and defended several boxing titles. Top Rank, Inc. and Middendorf Sports are boxing promoters and parties to an Agreement and Release regarding Crawford’s promotional rights. This breach-of-contract action requires us to interpret their Agreement and Release and decide two questions: (1) when Top Rank must pay Middendorf a fee for promoting Crawford’s title defenses; and (2) whether that fee includes eight percent of Crawford’s share of the gate revenues. The district court granted summary judgment to Middendorf on the first issue and ruled in Middendorf’s favor on the second issue. We affirm the first ruling but reverse the second. I. Background On December 7, 2010, Crawford entered into a promotional rights agreement with TKO Boxing Promotions, LLC. Crawford gave TKO the exclusive right to promote his boxing matches. TKO paid Crawford $7,500 and guaranteed him a minimum number of fights (also called “bouts”) per year, with the minimum payment (or “purse”) that he would receive for each bout depending on the number of rounds. The agreement was for a three-year term, but TKO had the right to terminate it for various reasons.
