As the Feds hit back on illegal immigrants in New York and other places, Terence Crawford is not too find of the crappy Apple at the moment.
Obviously the city is a legendary one and important for boxing with loads of great people, but if you really asked New Yorkers at the moment, and pushed them on how they think the city has gone and the State has gone over the last few years, they’d tell you it’s turning into a burning garbage trash can with crime and so on.
One of boxing’s pound for pound Kingpin’s Terence Crawford is currently not interested in investing in New York at the moment the way things are currently, saying to the ‘Ring Champs with Ak & Barak’ show in their chat:
“I know you just built this big, beautiful house, but I also know you’re someone who has a lot of properties. Is this house you’re building now your biggest investment you’ve ever made? Yeah, for sure—one of them, as far as personal. You’ve made investments as big as that already, like apartment complexes? Yeah, really, in your city or somewhere else? You and Floyd got those apartments in New York—y’all crazy. No, like in Kansas City—I made one. Wow, congrats. I know you love Omaha, you don’t want to leave—that’s going to be your forever home right there. But if you could have at least an apartment in another city, what city would it be? Probably Vegas, just because everything is moving toward Vegas. The real estate is going crazy—professional teams are going there. I can rent it out and make money, and on top of that, stay in Vegas when I go there to train for a bit—I can stay at my own spot. So, you don’t like New York? I don’t like New York. I don’t really like Vegas, I don’t like California. Vegas is too busy. New York is just dirty, you know? Everybody’s rude, everybody’s moving so fast. You should fit right in, Mr. Man. I ain’t rude—I ain’t rude at all. You’re rude. You’re not rude to us, but you can’t have a conversation with people here, like random strangers. Everybody’s just like, you hold the door open for somebody—no thank you. They ain’t even got time to say thank you because they’re moving. They bump you, they do this to you, you know what I mean? See how y’all make us look bad, New Yorkers? Get some manners, bro. And then they try to scam you—everybody’s talking fast, you know what I mean? That’s how we got you here, though—we talk fast, got you here. In LA, it’s the “who’s who, what you do,” you know what I mean? Everybody’s trying to tell you what they’re doing, acting like they’re doing something, and they ain’t doing nothing. Everybody’s got to put on a front, everybody’s got to be Hollywood, everybody’s got to do drugs. I’m like, man, LA is trash. Everything’s expensive in New York, everything’s expensive in California. It’s like, man, you’re paying $10 for this, but you go to Omaha, it’s $5—I don’t get it. Now, y’all food is fire in LA and New York—Vegas fire, right? But even in Vegas, anything that’s not touristy—what is there to do? It’s the desert, right? You going to hike every day? That’s all there is to do—hike, party, and gamble. I don’t gamble, I don’t party, really.”
So much common sense there.
In many ways, the fake superficial trash of the West at the moment, largely driven by evil garbage in America over the years, is coming to a dramatic end.
Certainly at the moment as the East powers ahead of the West. The East is the new West in many ways.
New York will be a great city and State again in the future though, no doubt about it.
NY still very important for boxing though, always will be.
Crawford is a sensible man, he doesn’t have dreams, only goals – and is a big thinker.
Ahead of his fight with Canelo Alvarez in September many are quick to write him off, silly to do so.
