As it appears, things seem a bit dour for the Green Bay Packers. Following last week’s win over the Dallas Cowboys, they faced the San Francisco 49ers at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California. It’s certain to weigh heavily on the heart of one of its most devoted and die-hard fans. Early in the morning, Terence Crawford shared a few pictures of himself.

A keen follower of the Wisconsin-based football team, not long ago, ‘Bud’ entertained fans with whacky notes as the Packers went on to overpower the Cowboys. For today, the unified welterweight champion had worn a Packers outfit in the most resplendent green and gold. He said, “Yall know the vibes!!! Go Pack Go!!!” It didn’t take too long for reactions to pour in.

Terence Crawford goes Green and Gold

Among those who commented, a few questioned his choice of jersey. There were some who, for obvious reasons, stood at the opposite end of the fence and wished for the 49ers’ victory. Then a couple of fans stuck with what their icon does best, in the ring.

In an apparent dig at the world champion, the following user found it awkward that he couldn’t wear a jersey with his name.

But soon ‘Bud’ responded that gear was a gift he received from someone, and he found it fabulous to go with.

Echoing almost similar lines, this user also mentioned how one could simply miss taking any notice of Terence Crawford and then come to the realization that he is the best boxer in the world.

Clearly, that’s one ecstatic bunch. As far as the match is concerned, the Packers lost the divisional playoff to the 49ers, 21-24. Nevertheless, signing off for the day, ‘Bud’ Crawford wrote, “Dam, that was a good game. Wish we could have got the win, but dam, this one hurts. Good night!”

The 36-year-old Omaha-born boxing superstar recently announced his return to the gym. Fans last saw him in the ring on July 29, when he defeated Errol Spence Jr. As it appears, a mouth-watering line-up against middleweight champion Tim Tszyu could be underway. It’s a fight that’s seemingly feasible given ‘Bud’ needs to climb only a division above.

Four-division world champion Roy Jones Jr has looked ahead to Terence Crawford’s next potential bout after speculation that a rematch with Errol Spence Jr will now not take place.

‘Bud’ Crawford put in a generational performance when he dominated and stopped Spence last July, becoming the first four-belt welterweight champion and the first multi-divisional four-belt undisputed champion as a result.

However, shortly after the clash, Crawford was stripped of the IBF welterweight world title, with 26-year-old Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis being promoted as the new title-holder.

Now the pair are being linked to an All-American showdown and Roy Jones Jr told YSM Sports Media that the hard-hitting Ennis could have what it takes to hand Crawford his first career defeat in what would likely be the latter’s final outing at 147lbs.

Ennis has been vocal in his call-outs of Crawford, demanding that the arguable pound-for-pound king attempts to regain his old belt.

However, it seems that ‘Bud’ is less keen on the idea, favouring a move up to super-welterweight or a potential three-division jump to super-middleweight to face the legendary Canelo Alvarez for the undisputed 168lbs throne.

Top Rank promoted Terence Crawford’s career for better parts of a decade until they split after Bud’s contract was complete soon after he beat Shawn Porter in 2021.

As the deal was coming to a close, relations became contentious.

Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum said Crawford wasn’t a pay-per-view draw and that they lost money on every Crawford fight. Crawford, meanwhile, said he wouldn’t take any pay cuts and called for his release. By January 2022, Crawford sued Top Rank for breach of contract and claimed racial bias.

After a one-fight deal on BLK Prime, Crawford joined forces with Al Haymon and Premier Boxing Champions to land the career-defining fight he was seeking against Errol Spence Jr.

Crawford scored a sensational stoppage win against Spence on July 29 to win the undisputed welterweight title. In addition to a rematch versus Spence, Crawford seemingly has a series of high-profile fights lined up for him including Jermell Charlo at 154 pounds and Canelo Alvarez at 168 pounds, among others.

Crawford is even entertaining a fight against Teofimo Lopez Jr., who is tied to Top Rank.

Arum does not have any regrets about missing out on perhaps the most lucrative phase of the 36-year-old Crawford’s career.

“No. Because Terence Crawford is a great talent. We always said that. The question is can you match up his economic demands with his actual marketability, and we were not able to do that. We lost a lot of money promoting his fights,” Arum told BoxingScene.com in an interview.

“I wish him well. But I’m not prepared, and my company is not prepared, to take those risks because at least with Terence it never worked out economically, even though his performances were brilliant. They’re still brilliant.”

After previously fighting to paltry PPV numbers, Crawford’s clash against Spence was a commercial success generating nearly 700,000 PPV buys domestically and more than $21,000,000 in ticket sales.

“Terence was extraordinarily good at fighting Spence. They did very well economically but if you ran it back, I really don’t believe that it would do the numbers that the first fight did,” said Arum.
