Crawford's WILD Claim: 90,000 Fans In Nebraska? – Boxing News 24
Terence Crawford bragged on social media today, saying he’s going to “make history” and can bring in a crowd of 90,000 at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska. Given that the stadium ONLY seats 85,458, it would seem that Crawford is making up nonsense out of thin air. I’m just wondering why he didn’t say 200,000.
Crawford says he will make history, but with how things are looking, he might never fight again. Promoter Eddie Hearn and trainer Robert Garcia believe that the 37-year-old Crawford may retire if he can’t get the Canelo Alvarez fight.
Is Crawford Losing Touch?
This fantasy world claim by Crawford of 90,000 fans packing Memorial Stadium is worrisome because it literally has no chance of happening in this lifetime.
No one popular in the sport would be willing to go out of there way to fight Crawford on his home turf off the beaten track in an area like Lincoln, Nebraska. Out of the areas in the U.S., a superstar fighter could go do, choosing Nebraska would be the last long the list.
Assuming Crawford is serious, he didn’t bother mentioning who he would be fighting to bring in that crowd. It surely wouldn’t be Canelo Alvarez because he’s not interested in fighting him unless he’s paid $150 million.
Memorial Stadium Fighters Needed
- Canelo Alvarez
- Jake Paul
- Jaron Ennis
- Artur Beterbiev
The only fighters popular enough to help Crawford sell out a large venue like Memorial Stadium would be Canelo or maybe Jake Paul. Crawford ain’t going to get Jake to throw him a bone by giving him a fight, especially not in Lincoln.
It’s not like Crawford would be calling the shots with Jake if the YouTuber was interested, and there surely isn’t. Why on earth would Jake Paul want to waste a perfectly good fight coming to Lincoln to face a guy that only hardcore boxing has heard of?
If Crawford wanted to get fans interested in his career, he would be busier, fighting three times a year and moving up to 168 to take on the big dogs. Since he’s not going to do that, all this nonsense about making history is a sign that Crawford is living in his fantasy world.
I think I can do 90,000 at memorial Stadium. I think ima go on and make history just to make some of y’all mad because yall be hating.😂 what’s up @UNLincoln @Huskers

33 Nebraska senators urge Board of Regents to delay vote on $800M acquisition of Nebraska Medicine
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – Thirty-two Nebraska state senators joined Sen. Brad von Gillern’s letter calling on the Nebraska Board of Regents to delay a vote on the proposed $800 million acquisition of Nebraska Medicine.
The letter, dated Thursday and bearing a total of 33 signatures from state senators, shared concerns about the proposed acquisition, including the lack of transparency to the public and the Legislature.
According to the letter, the regents’ Jan. 9 meeting agenda item summary indicates that the Board has “negotiated the final agreement over a series of meetings in the past 18 months”.
The regents will consider a proposal in which Clarkson Regional Health Services would give up its 50% membership in Nebraska Medicine. The deal would give full control of the health system to the University of Nebraska.
However, the letter said the public and Legislature have had little time to understand the proposal, its impact and any financial implications of the transaction.
“The University of Nebraska and Nebraska Medicine are two institutions of tremendous significance to our state, and any major changes to the existing structures must be carefully considered,” the letter stated.
Senators are asking the Board to delay the vote to “ensure all viable alternatives have been considered and until all stakeholders understand the impact of the proposal for the state” and the two institutions.
The Board of Regents meeting, previously set for Friday, will now be held Thursday, Jan. 15 at 9 a.m.
