I'm also confused about the reason why Top Rank submitted the offer to Danny Garcia's trainer rather than manager.
Because the rest of us know fine well that in practice Haymon is his promoter and his dad is his manager as well as his trainer.

It's easy when you take the pbc tinted specs off
Angel Garcia is his son’s trainer. Al Haymon is Danny’s manager, Lou DiBella promoted his most recent bout. And TGB Promotions is the promoter for his next bout (the same promoter that also promoted Garcia’s bout against Granados).

Do you really fancy detailing the inaccuracies in the above paragraph?

If Top Rank intended on making a genuine offer to pit Terence Crawford against Danny Garcia, they should have approached Al Haymon, since Angel Garcia is merely a trainer.

Also, I can’t find any evidence of Angel Garcia corroborating Top Rank’s claims.

This isn’t a religious forum, whereby all opinions are based purely on faith alone.

So, despite a complete lack of evidence, you insist on employing the terribly ignorant “god-of-the-gaps” fallacy to formulate an unsubstantiated assertion that has already been proven in court, multiple times, to bear absolutely no relation to any sort of reality whatsoever?

On a separate note, are you a flat earth theorist? :lol:

Well, tbf, there is a difference between a misspelling and a language butchery that leaves you boarding on unintelligible
Again its a social media post not an english class or even those guys speaking. Being to critical for really no reason.

Nah, I can't speak for others. It just seems everyone thinks their the smartest in the room when everyone have done stupid shiite but somehow everyone else is stupid or an idiot.

No one even knows what condition Spence is really in now to fight. Crawford is thinking about that too I'm sure.
He didn’t want to fight Khan.

They offered D Garcia $3m plus PPV upside, His highest purse. Danny claimed his Dad Angel didn’t tell him the offer or some other bullshit or whatever.
Let's assume DG did get wind of the offer, which was $2 million less than what they offered Khan. (aside from PPV if that is true) It is still insulting to DG, because he proved in the ring he is levels above Khan. Why not call DG up and offer him the same or above what Khan got? (especially if they thought it was PPV worthy)

Actions speak louder than words. High level boxers have more say in who they fight than most think. Kell Brook has called Crawford out too. That also would have better than a Khan fight. Bud needs competitive fights against at least common opponents of the elite at welter. A win over Khan at this point is laughable.

Difference is they had already offer DG before they offered Khan.

I agree, TC vs. DG makes a better fight
